n-Sphere Tiles
Designed as an educational toy for my son, the n-Sphere toy is a little puzzle box with no wrong answers. The sphere can be assembled any combination of 6 tiles oriented in any rotation and will always yield a continuous topology of ridges and grooves along the outer surface.
This version is designed with a flat base surface so no support needed with the makerbot.
