Isosurface Egg Thing

thingiverse

An intriguing, egg-like object materialized in the digital realm. Print Settings: Printer: Eaglemoss Vector3 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: probably solid best Notes: Printing this model at roughly 60x60x70 mm yielded mostly satisfactory results, but some sections near the bottom began to float freely. Adding custom supports would likely improve stability. A raft was used for added security, but it's possible to omit it. Designing This Project I started by using code for my students to create 3D graphics projects from scratch. The Marching Cubes function was borrowed from an online source and integrated into the program. This allowed users to input equations and generate vertex buffers containing iso-surfaces of those equations. A blog provided the equation called Cosmic Egg, which was scaled to increase its wiggles and then refined using Netfabb.
