Telescopic Cylinder, Math, Geometry

Humans have designed telescopic cylinders with seven stages and 45° stoppers, boasting diameters of 80mm and 60mm, along with heights ranging from 50mm to 100mm. These structures are mathematically intriguing and surprisingly simple in design. While exploring telescopic constructs, I discovered that the internal stoppers could be crafted using 45° angles for a seamless printing experience. The design process, facilitated by software like Fusion 360, is relatively straightforward, making it an ideal project for students to learn about variables (parameters), constraints for specific shapes, and rotation (revolving) in 3D construction. This entry-level 3D design project showcases structures that would typically be unattainable as a single piece. The outcome, however, is visually captivating and sure to inspire creativity.
