So I guess my reward for working night and day on the Makerbot Academy Math Manipulative Challenge for a week is that I can now post each model separately on…
Over the next several posts here I’ll put up pictures and files of the objects in the set of polyhedral models I made for the Makerbot Academy Math Manipulative Challenge.…
Today we printed and assembled the two types of decasphericon models from chriskpalmer’s Sphericons on Thingiverse. We used Gorilla Glue to install 3mm Neodymium Rare Earth Super Magnets in the…
The real reason for printing the knot 8_18 yesterday was to compare it to a print of 8_19, the first non-alternating knot in the standard knot table. STL file: http://www.geekhaus.com/makerhome/day67_knot819.stl Tinkercad…
Our initial reason forgetting a 3D printer was to print mathematical models of knots, so today we go back to our roots and print a model of the knot 8_18…
Trying to find a better solution for making polyhedral nets than the folding models from Day 44, today we have a hinged version of a tetrahedron. The hinges are built…
Okay, so maybe Day 60‘s model was maybe based on a Hilbert curve, not a Peano curve. So, we may as well make another model out of it. This one also…
Today we have a space-filling Peano curve with a dish-like indentation just because it looks cooler that way. More dish-y and more space-filling-y than the H-Tree from Day 57! The…
Here is a small dish whose pattern comes from a level 5 H-Tree, which is a fractal space-filling curve. It is designed so that a Replicator 2 on “low” will…
One of my calculus students earned a perfect score on this week’s exam! So I made a present to hand back with her test. I hope she likes the sine…
