Two Spherical Containers

thingiverse

This openSCAD-created set includes two containers sized at 60mm and 70mm in diameter, potentially useful for storing paper clips or rubber bands. The smaller one comes in monochrome and a two-color version. Four STL files are included: the 70mm container (container_sphere_two_hundred.stl), the 60mm container (container_sphere_five.stl), and the files for the two-color version (container_color_body.stl, container_color_decorations.stl). The positions of the holes in the 70mm container were determined using coordinates from The Cambridge Cluster Database, which represents possible solutions to the Thomson problem for n=200. These containers boast flat bottoms and are designed to be printed directly on the build platform.
