Description

An oloid is a geometric shape discovered by Paul Schatz in 1929, formed by connecting two circular disks at right angles through their edges. It's fascinating because of its unique rolling motion, which combines a wobble and a smooth roll that is both satisfying and mesmerizing to watch. The oloid rolls in such a way that every point on its surface touches the ground at some point during its motion, making it a space-filling shape. Its construction from two circles and its ability to roll smoothly make it a subject of interest in both mathematics and art. This combination of simplicity in design and complexity in movement highlights the elegance of geometric principles in motion.

Outer Dimensions: ~5cm tall

There is even an interesting song about oloids!

Print sadly failed on X1C with Bambulab PLA about 2/3 in..

@user_4277367931

It looks like it randomly started extruding in place above the print. Did you put your phone in your pocket with the app open or let a toddler smash buttons on the printer? 😂

Replying to @user_4277367931 :

Haha, no, I actually tried the print a second time and had a similar result - but this time I saw how it failed: the print kept swinging back and forth on the thin connection with the base whenever the print head moved over it.

@KVEN_

Tried two times with tree supports, sligtly diffrent setting with no luck as it fell over each time. Printed beautifuly first try with normal support. the supports was so good i use it as a stand.
