Lobster / triangle

thingiverse

A 3D printing implementation of an image I found at http://www.cromp.com/pages/GGeomI.html entitled "HOW TO SERVE A LOBSTER ON A TRIANGULAR PLATE... A lost art." It tessellates into a perfect equilateral triangle, a feat of geometric engineering that required precise calculations and careful consideration. Printer Settings: Printer Brand: Printrbot Printer: Simple Black Rafts: None Required Supports: Absolutely Essential Notes: This design is precision-crafted to accommodate the complexities of its unique shape. One crucial aspect to keep in mind is that one part needs to be carefully turned over during assembly, so all markings must be visible on both sides to ensure seamless fitment. This model is a zero-tolerance masterpiece, designed with an eye for perfection and minimal room for error. Printers are encouraged to push the limits of their machines without sacrificing quality. Post-Printing Instructions: Should any lumps or bumps arise from over-extrusion, carefully sanding the exterior may be necessary. Alternatively, when working with PLA materials, placing a piece in a shallow bowl and gently soaking it with boiling water will make it pliable enough to mold into place seamlessly.
