Pi Sphere

thingiverse

Just in time for Pi Day, a comprehensive geometry teaching aid is designed specifically for dual extruder printers. The intricate design requires no clearance for separate printing and subsequent assembly. A unique feature of this model is the two hemispheres, one featuring circumference, radius, and diameter measurements, while the other showcases area calculations. The base consists of four sides that display the value of pi along with several formulas incorporating this essential mathematical constant. To print the model, follow these steps in your slicer program: 1. Merge Area Half Sphere and Area letters. 2. Combine CDR Half Sphere and CDR letters. 3. Print Pi Sphere Latch. 4. Produce Pi Sphere stand top. 5. Create Pi Sphere stand base. 6. Merge A Side and A letters. 7. Combine V Side and V letters. 8. Assemble PI Side and Pi letters. 9. Integrate C Side and C letters. After printing, assemble the Base components by gluing them together. The latch serves as a retention mechanism for the two hemispheres when placed on the stand.
