Scherk tower

thingiverse

Read about MathMod on a forum where I discovered an incredible open-source program for plotting formulas, accompanied by a vast array of examples to explore. The Scherk shape caught my attention as a fascinating figure, particularly the remarkable fact that it was produced by graphing a relatively simple equation: sinh(x)*sinh(y) - sin(z). With x and y spanning from -3 to +3, and z ranging from -5*pi/2 to +5*pi/2, I was amazed by the intricate design. After rendering it as a solid model in Meshmixer, I successfully created a printable representation of the Scherk tower, albeit not an exact replica. The final product was printed on a Kodama Trinus using Polymaker's Polysmooth material and underwent a polyshed process in a Polymaker Polysher for added texture and detail.
