What is Algoloop?AlgoLoop is a new fidget toy invented by Japanese mathematician & artist, Yosuke Ikeda.Simple Mechanism, Infinite PossibilityThe basic structure is very simple. By moving a tube up and down, a ball inside is propelled forwards.Things get interesting as the number of loops and balls increases. The route of the balls changes by interfering with other balls, and unexpectedly beautiful patterns are created.Mathematical ArtWhat makes AlgoLoop different from other marble machines is that the movement of the balls in the loop is not determined by chance, but by a logical procedure. This is what mathematicians call Automaton. As well as being a fun toy, AlgoLoop is a truly mathematical art.VariationsAlgoLoop has 3 types of form: 1-Loop, 2-Loop, and 4-Loop, each of them has different and interesting features PRINT IN PLACE for Single Color PRINT BY OBJECT for Multi Color (No AMS needed) Printing InstructionsLayer Height: 0.2mm or less Support: No Brim: No Raft: No Material: PLA Infill: 15-20% Nozzle: 0.4 mm or less NotesThanks for checking my model recreationShare your makes and drop some comments Consider dropping a like and follow
