Daily Equation #7 - |x^(5/3) + y^(5/3)| = a

thingiverse

On Day 7 of showcasing printable equations, we explore further the series |x^b + y^c| = a (as seen in Days 2 and 6). Today's equation features b = c = 5/3, resulting in a curve that bends outward towards a circular shape. Previous examples included b=c=1 for a diamond and b=c=2/3 with curved edges. With a = 678 (for a length and height of 100mm), the range of x is -50 to 50, and files print without support. As always, one equation per day will be posted until interest wanes or new suggestions are made.
