1V dome – garden grow-space?
Don't have enough space for a full dome but still keen to make something with hubs? This kit contains eleven hubs which is enough to make a 1V dome from 0.5m to 2m in diameter. You could make a smaller grow-space or a children’s den perhaps, and it could also be a good gift.

3V Alpha Tester's kit – enough hubs to make a 3V dome!
Note: the hubs were designed for 2V and we haven’t tested making a 3V dome, but it should be possible and we’d love to learn from the results. The kit contains; six 5-way hubs, fifty-five 6-way hubs, 360 ball joints and all metalwork for each hub.
Thanks to Stretch Goal 1, 3V Alpha Tester’s kit backers will also get six extra 5-way hubs and two extra 6-way hubs – this means you can adapt your 3V or create two 2Vs with plenty of spares.
