Reuleaux tetrahedron

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.

 

 

My Work

 

Fed up of the corporate world of Big Engineering, I've decided to follow my childhood dream by trying to become a Creative Designer.

A Creative Designer of what? All things fun, exciting, interesting and challenging! Spirals are my current area of focus!

 

It's been a Roller Coaster but I'm almost there now!
