squared circle
I created an OpenSCAD script to generate a sculpture inspired by Troika's "Squaring the Circle" (www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVG4RwxDGA4&t=2s).
It is the intersection of a conical shell with a pyramid shell such that when you view it from one side it looks like a square and when viewed from the opposite side it looks like a square. When viewing you'll have to adjust exactly how far away the model is, and its precise orientation in order to make the best square and circle shapes.
I've included STLs for the full shape and the truncated one. The truncated shape is a lot easier to print and has redundant bits on the top and bottom removed.
When printing, I recommend flipping it upside down (so the thicker, more rounded parts are on the build platform).
This is customizable so you can change the viewing distance, thickness, and diameter, as well as how much extra stuff you keep after truncating (buffer).
