3D model description

Exclusively on Cults!

I love getting my hands on this Ellipsoid. Students are so familiar with spheres, but it is often a new experience to handle a shape like this. The radius in each of x, y, and z axes is different.

I designed a base to hold it because I knew it would otherwise just roll around on the shelf and I wanted it to display at the same height as the other surfaces.

Created with Mathematica and printed on my MakerGear M3-ID.

Note: Some files are rather large since I was working to get a very high resolution. I created these in Summer 2018.

See the rest of my collection. They were all designed and printed to stand at the same height, to work well for display by me during discussion in front of a classroom, and to be large enough for students to get their hands on them to really feel the shapes and the curves. We refer to these often throughout the course.

Approximately 193 mm tall in the longest direction. I used supports to print the ellipsoid. The base is a separate model.
