Ellipsoid

cults3d

Exclusively on Cults! I'm hooked on this Ellipsoid. Students are so used to spheres, but it's a whole new experience to handle a shape like this. The radius in each of x, y, and z axes is one-of-a-kind. I crafted a base to hold it because I knew it would otherwise just roll around on the shelf and I wanted it to display at the same height as the other surfaces. Created with Mathematica and printed on my MakerGear M3-ID. Note: Some files are quite large since I was working to get a very high resolution. I created these in Summer 2018. Check out the rest of my collection. They were all designed and printed to stand at the same height, to work well for display by me during discussion in front of a classroom, and to be large enough for students to get their hands on them to really feel the shapes and the curves. We refer to these often throughout the course. • Quadric Surfaces Set (all of the below included) • Parabolic Cylinder • Circular Paraboloid • Hyperbolic Paraboloid • Ellipsoid • Hyperboloid of One Sheet • Circular Cone • Hyperboloid of Two Sheets
