I have square plugs to pin the two halves together, but I found that a couple of 3/8" set screws work even better. The threads grab really well between the deposited layers and the piece holds together very well. Plus you get a very…
This strange rolling riddle will make you think twice about how things roll! In a straight line? No! It rolls in an irregular pattern like pictured below. It gives you the illusion of rolling normally, then it fakes you out! It works best…
Fun and simple cat toy. Either the cat can play with it alone or you play with her. (makes even more fun). The toy rolls through its shape very unevenly which stimulates the cat even more to play. Works with my cat really great. The toy…

This is a parametrized Sphericon. A Sphericon is a mathematical body, that is generated by rotating a polygon around one of its symmetry axes. The resulting body is then cut in half, one half is turned a certain amount, and finally the…

Hexasphericon inspired by a Maker's Muse video. Print 2 of the half sphericon file then glue them together to be like the full sphericon file.
Attach the two halves, mind the rotation. This can print without support but some combinations may have small defects at overhangs.
A sphericon is a funky-looking, smooth, and wobbly shape that’s kind of like a mix between a ball and a weird rolling polygon. If you cut a polygon in half, flip one of the halves, and glue them back together, you get the base shape of a…
This is my take on a Minimalist Sphericon. Both full model and half model included. I glued 2 half together for the video. I have chopped down as much as possible of the body to only keep the essential of it. The goal is to Showcase the…

This is a split hexagonal sphericon that can roll in a satisfying zig-zag pattern. Thanks to Maker's Muse for the inspiration!
A Sphericon is a shape with 2 edges and one continuous face similar to that of a Mobius Strip. A Hexasphericon is a variation of this shape made by revolving a hexagon around its central point, slicing, and rotating. Print instructions…

Just another sphericon inspired by Maker's Muse. Need to print 2 sphericon half's and one pin to join the two half's.
This is a metall 3D printed hexasphericon I 3d printed, but it also will work with plastic. If you like to, check out my other designs too!
A simple hexasphericon, taking an interesting path as it rolls along. Requires minimum supports to print. Use a small layer height for smoothest rolling results. Higher infill is recommended, as more mass and more momentum will make the…

Here's another strange rolling riddle that will make you think twice about how things roll! Does it roll in a straight line? No! It rolls in a pattern like a wave. It works best with a low layer height.

A hexasphericon is an interesting shape that rolls in a way you might not expect. When printing, you may want to scale it up, and a higher infill is recommended. Also, consider sanding afterward to make the object smoother.

Fun to make. Pretty to look at. Fails as a shape that is meant to roll. The point of a sphericon is to roll with a wobble. This only works with an even number of points in the base shape. So I had fun and I learned something. :)
