STEIN Bracelet

thingiverse

If you're so crazy about pentagonal tessellations, then why aren't you wearing one on your wrist right now? The attached STL file is for a flat version of the bracelet that can be 3D printed in PLA and then thermofomed into shape with boiling water. This technique eliminates the need for supports, allowing the bracelet to print perfectly, and can be customized to fit any wrist exactly. The pattern around this bracelet was derived from a Type 14 Stein tessellation of the plane by irregular pentagons. Designed flat using our OpenSCAD Pentomizer code, then curled around an elliptical cylinder with our Grasshopper wrapping code to create a bracelet shape. You can also order pre-curved versions of this bracelet at Shapeways in Polished Silver and HP Fusion Nylon, along with many other materials. <iframe src="//www.shapeways.com/fragments/product?spin=7FULQ4BBW&embedded=true"></iframe> ===== ##### Twitter: @mathgrrl ##### Hacktastic blog: www.mathgrrl.com/hacktastic ##### Shapeways geekhaus store: www.shapeways.com/shops/mathgrrl This design, along with all associated pictures and files, is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial Share Alike license.
