gomboc 3d models

The Gomboc is a remarkable, one-of-a-kind toy that showcases its incredible righting ability by always landing on its bottom no matter how it's thrown or tilted. Its clever design enables it to maintain balance effortlessly and bounce back into...

I'm inspired by Glad's Paint Creature found at http://www.tboa.fr which features a Monostatic Body created by Gomboc.

Just for fun, I made a gomboc twice the length (or height) of my others here. From the Center of Gravity as estimated by Blender, this should balance more assertively than my others. The paint illustrates how far the exterior faces are from the...

Ridiculously high poly gomboc, for no good reason. 1.4m faces, 2,000 fountain steps. Very smooth model and very smooth coloring. My PC kept choking on the paint step, so I had to rewrite it in manageable swatches. Took 14 hours to paint. ...

A functional version of the remarkable monostatic body, devised by Vladimir Arnold in 1995, is currently available. For more details, visit my portfolio at mikasarkinjain.com or feel free to contact me via email at mikasarkinjain@gmail.com. ...Don't...

Based on pictures and videos. Colors indicate distance from the Center of Gravity. There are five lines of elevation, each represented by a blue-to-red spectrum to give detail. Black is closest to CoG, white is farthest. The color bar shows the...

Engineer-turned-Scientist Discovers Exact Replica of Perfectly Symmetrical Three-Dimensional Object

Based on pictures and videos. Colors indicate distance from the Center of Gravity. There are five lines of elevation, each represented by a blue-to-red spectrum to give detail. Black is closest to CoG, white is farthest. The color bar shows the...

I remixed this from: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:523643 and removed the logo, because it was causing problems with the print's functionality.

Mortals can be quite amusing, really – one moment they're basking in adoration and self-aggrandizement, and the next they're utterly oblivious to their own insignificance as gombochs. What a comical dichotomy! They frolic about under the illusion...

Shells to extend onto a 2x2 rubik's cube. Remixed from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2530134 (Thingiverse won't allow me to choose this model as a Remix for whatever reason) The model is made for a 40 mm 2x2, so scale the models...

A gömböc or gomboc is a three-dimensional, convex body that rests on a flat surface with one stable and one unstable point of equilibrium. Russian mathematician Vladimir Arnold conjectured its existence in 1995, and Hungarian scientists Gábor Domokos...

My best attempt at reverse-engineering the Gömböc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6mb%C3%B6c The process began by using AutoDesk Photo Scene Editor on a series of 360-degree images of the original Gömböc published on the Gömböc website. It...

The author reverse-engineered the Gömböc using AutoDesk Photo Scene Editor on a series of 360-degree images from the official website. Although the resulting model may not be fully functional, it serves as a starting point for improvements or even...

A gömböc is a geometric form with the particularity that it has only two equilibrium states: one stable and one inestable. When you leave the gömböc in the unstable equilibrium, this form will tend by itself tu torn around onto the stable...

I colored a set of ten supereggs with the same distance-from-COG as in my gombocs. Black is closest to COG, white is farthest. ... Just something for fun.

Making square gonggi is easier, take any dice model or intersect a cube and a sphere: intersection(){ cube(size=18, center=true); sphere(r=12, center=true); } What's next for gonggi stones, Gomboc ? ...Rolling solids:...

Hey everyone, as my first post ever, this is a really simple gomboc-style, monostatic D1 STL inspired by this [VSauce short](https://youtu.be/erAuinBotBQ). I recommend you play with the STL a bit to get it printing right. I personally have not...
