So far my two favourite things to print are fossils and mathematically-based models.\u00a0 The former because it’s almost impossible for most people to have hands-on access to fossils, and they really are fascinating.\u00a0 The latter because it’s the ethereal made real.\u00a0 There are some excellent artists out there who are not only creating mathematical models, but also sharing them.<\/p>\n

This one is a twisted cylinder with a Veronoi surface applied to it :<\/p>\n

\"Veronoi<\/a>

It’s printed with 0.2mm layers, and stands 3.5-inches tall. It took about 3-1\/2 hours to print, if I recall correctly.\u00a0 From http:\/\/www.thingiverse.com\/thing:23496<\/p>\n

It’s hard to get a good picture of these 3-dimensional constructs.\u00a0 This is really shown by the next object :<\/p>\n

Printed with 0.2mm layers, but could really use 0.1mm judging by how some of the thing strands turned out.\u00a0 It’s shape, if you can’t quite see it, is like a hollow donut with the skin formed by an open-celled membrane.\u00a0 It stands just shy of 4-inches tall (the limit of my printer).\u00a0 As you can see, it needs a bit of cleaning up … but that’s pretty normal.\u00a0 It took about 6 hours to print.<\/p>\n
