Description

A sphericon is a funky-looking, smooth, and wobbly shape that’s kind of like a mix between a ball and a weird rolling polygon. If you cut a polygon in half, flip one of the halves, and glue them back together, you get the base shape of a sphericon. But it’s smoothed out, so it rolls in a funny way. This is the trisphericon! Print it out, and be mesmerized as it "rolls" along its interesting path!

Printing It

  • Print two halves and an insert. I have provided a tight tolerance insert for use with well-tuned printers, and a looser option as well. it's a tiny piece, so print both and see which works better for you.
  • Apply a bit of glue (look at pictures to see how the halves are supposed to go together).

You just need to click the insert into one half and then snap the two halves together. You can use a dab of super glue if needed!
