Villarceau Circles from Torus

thingiverse

Named after Yvon Villarceau, an acclaimed French astronomer and mathematician who lived from 1813 to 1883, Villarceau circles are created by slicing a torus diagonally through its center at a precise angle. This design can be printed using either a dual extrusion printer in two colors or a single-color printer. To achieve the desired effect with a dual extrusion printer, combine the "torus" and "face" STL files within your slicing program. For a single-color print, use the "circles half" STL file. To form a complete sliced torus, produce two identical copies of the half torus design. If you appreciate this piece, kindly share a photo of the printed object once it is complete. We would love to see your creation!
