Description

Description:
This is a 3D printable sphericon, divided into two halves for easy printing and assembly.
The halves are joined by a press-fit connector in the center, making it simple to snap together without glue.

The sphericon is a fascinating mathematical shape with a continuous developable surface—it rolls in a quirky, wobbly way that makes it fun as both a math toy and a desk ornament.

Features:

  • Prints in two halves + press-fit connector
  • Glue-free assembly
  • Interesting rolling motion (math toy)
  • Compact, easy to print, and great for fidgeting

Printing Tips:

  • PLA recommended
  • 0.2 mm layer height
  • Print halves flat on the build plate for smooth surfaces
  • Test-fit the connector; adjust scaling if too tight/loose

Whether you’re into math, geometry, or just quirky desk toys, this sphericon is sure to catch attention.
