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 Pentasphericon! Print it out, and be mesmerized as it "rolls" along its interesting path!
***Print two halves and an insert.** I have provided a tight tolerance 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).
