Description

Against all instincts, a sphere is not the only geometric shape that has a constant diameter. There are an infinite amount of others, of which the Meissner Tetrahedron is the coolest.

This set contains 4 shapes, each different, but with the same constant width of 35mm:

  • Meissner Tetrahedron
  • Revolved Reuleaux Triangle
  • Revolved Reuleaux Pentagon
  • Revolved Reuleaux Heptagon

I know this isn't the first collection on Thingiverse, but I CAD'ed them myself, hence no credits to others. Well, okay, credits to Reuleaux and Meissner!

Watch them do their thing on http://youtu.be/_8Fe-OLr42Y

If you make them, please share the picture!
