Daily Equation #9 - x^20 + y^20 = a

thingiverse

For Day 9, the series of equations |x^b + y^c| = a continues with x^20 + y^20 = a. As b and c increase towards infinity, the shape transitions from a circle to a square. In this printable equation, units are in mm, a is set at 50^20 for a length and height of 100mm, and the x-axis is resized to 100mm. Stay tuned for more equations daily until further notice or interest wanes. Feel free to suggest an equation you'd like to see in the comments below.
