Flower of Life

UPDATE: This model was flawed for calculating the distance between layers of spheres; I've created a revised version at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3960551 (Flower of Life V2). I used sin 60° but found that the correct value appears to be sin(arcos(-1/3)/2). arcos(-1/3) is the edge central angle of the regular tetrahedron, also known as the tetrahedral angle, which approximates 109.4712° (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrahedron). The three-dimensional flower of life corresponds to the ether and the structure of the quantum vacuum in Nassim Haramein's theory (https://resonancescience.org/). I hope my revised model is accurate for the three-dimensional aspect. This file, 03_Monocouche_Moitie.stl, produces the most aesthetically pleasing result in my opinion. Other files are interesting to view on screen, but when multiple layers of spheres are printed, there's so much plastic that details become difficult to see (except for 05_Spiral_Cut.stl). On the images, you can see examples of 03_Monocouche_Moitie.stl printed in nature PLA filament and wood filament, as well as an example of 05_Spiral_Cut.stl. The print of 05_Spiral_Cut.stl failed at the top of the spheres because I hadn't adjusted the maximum speed for the wood filament. Nonetheless, it's intriguing to see details on the internal structure of the flower of life.
