Description

The Design

Here is my version of the Reuleaux tetrahedron.

Named after Franz Reuleaux, it is inspired by the Reuleaux triangle.

Whilst not actually constant width, it creates a very good approximation which rolls really well.

The dimensions are approximately: 40mm x 40mm x 40mm

Printing

The build plate needs to be clean for good adhesion

The Parts use Variable Layer Height to ensure a good finish.

Please ensure filament is relatively dry (wet filament seems to have a poor surface finish)

Once printed let the build plate cool before trying to remove.

Nice and working model. One remark, for me it was a bit difficult to join two pieces together. So, I simply glued two pieces. Recommend to so the same if you happen to have a similar issue.

@virtuosoh

I second this, it was tough to put together. Great model with good even weight, though even with a mallet I couldn't get the two halves to sit PERFECTLY flush, you can see the light coming through in my photo. Not necessarily a fault of the model, could be a Silk PLA thing idk. I'd sand some off of the ends of the clips before putting it together if I made it again.

@Whodeyprints

I agree with this. I struggled to put them together

Replying to @enderdragon362 :

Not really. I don’t roll it around all the time. It’s a great conversation starter in my office, and helps with cooling of the laptop!

It was incredibly hard to put this together and I can't get this to sit flush, but it works.

@b06dan

You need to orient them corectly, like in the GIF. Then it snaps correctly.

I tried, but there's only one way it can go. Other reviews seem to have the same problem.

Works great, amazing model and a smart way to assemble and hide build plate texture. Few pieces don't sit 100% flush, possibly because of me playing with the variable layer height.
