New scroll saw - new patterns - new projects

[alexfox]

Finally I have an opportunity to cut new projects by new scroll saw - Proxxon DS 230. In general, if you have a choice and financial opportunity, then I would not recommend this scroll saw, but at the moment for me it has some advantages.

Anyway here is my first project in 2 year - 3D sphere. I hope such patterns will be popular: it looks unusual and eye-catching, interesting to assemble, it could be made of scraps of wood (as each piece is not large) and it could be assembled without glue. I plan to make more 3D geometric patterns, so what do you think of this project and such patterns?

Alex You always impress me with your creative projects. Right now I am "chugging" along on your train pattern. My wife bought it for me as a Birthday project. Paint/coating the orb with a reflective color and adding a LED light would make for a very nice Christmas ornament.

yeah.   Glad to see you're work again.

Very interesting Alex @alexfox!  Nice that you are back on the forum and back at the scrollsaw.

The pattern looks like it has 2 repeated parts, many copies of each.  Would it be ok to stack cut some of them?

Thanks, yes it is one more advantage of such patterns - you can make stack cutting

Here are all parts (12 round connectors and 30 edges)

I bought it just for $5 at Aliexpress (China store) - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006499218253.html 

Also it includes 0.8mm, 1mm and 1.2mm drills. It works from mobile charge block (not included). Very comfortable to use for thin materials (1/8-1/6 inches). Disadvantage - on/off button on the wire, I think it would be more comfortable on body of drill. I know there are many small drills at Ebay or Amazon, but they are qite expensive.  

Here is short review of this drill -

As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to cut it. I like unique projects. Should be able to start cutting the pattern tomorrow.
