Paperboard Dome Patterns?

Submitted by daibhre on Wed, 2009-04-01 12:39.

Does no one produce the printed cardboard patterns for the Fuller paperboard (cardboard) domes, ref. pattent #2881717 ? I'm imagining purchasing a "bale" of corrugated sheets with the patterns printed on them for a hexa-pent dome — simply cut, fold, and staple together a dome! Wouldn't that be great!?

We have been building cardboard and transparent plastic domes with our students for a number of years. We recently created a web site to show off their effort. The site highlights student-made domes and shows some of their creations. The book sold on the site is as close as we can come to your suggestion of pre-printed dome patterns. Log onto http://www.domebook.com to view our domes.
