Solids of Constant Width (Reuleaux Shapes)

Solids of Constant Width (Reuleaux Shapes)

thingiverse

Spheres aren't the only solids that retain their width regardless of the incident angle. These shapes maintain their width (height) no matter how they're rotated or rolled. Reuleaux tetrahedrons and revolved Reuleaux triangles share similar properties. The primary difference lies in the center of mass, which doesn't remain at the same height when rolling around, resulting in a unique type of motion. Print Settings: Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Notes: Most settings are irrelevant as the mathematical properties of these shapes aren't influenced by infill or layer precision. Print the models either right-side up or 180 degrees upside down, both with proper support and at a slow enough speed to prevent drooping.
