Pear Shaped Bowls and Lids

thingiverse

The pear-shaped curve was first identified by a French mathematician in 1886, as documented on mathworld.wolfram.com. It can be transformed into a three-dimensional shape using openSCAD's rotate_extrude command and bisected to create a bowl and lid. One notable feature of the rotate_extrude command is its capability to set the number of sides generated, which was utilized to produce three distinct bowls with nearly identical code. The teapot_lid.scad file showcases this functionality by creating a second set of lids for the pear-shaped bowls using the same rotate_extrude command.
