I made math things...

I’ve been learning to machine things. This month a made some cool math stuff. These are Möbius strips made out of copper, stainless steel, and brass.

I made a bracelet from a Möbius strip.

These are Meissener Tetrahedrons. They are classified as a solid of constant width. You can place a flat board above them and roll them around like you would with spheres. They’re pretty neat.

These are Reuleaux Cones made from a 3D rotation of a Reuleaux triangle. They also are solids of constant width.

Here’s a video of the solids of constant width rolling around.

These are Steinmetz solid bi-cylinders. They are the intersection of 2 perpendicular cylinders, which makes them only able to roll side to side and front to back.

I plan on making more of these shapes in different sizes like the 3D prints I made above.
Thanks for checking my stuff out!
