Sliceform Monkey Saddle

About 25 years ago I met John Sharp and was introduced to Sliceforms. I have made many paper and card sliceforms since, so when I bought a 3D printer they seemed a good thing to make. 

This is surface which a monkey can straddle with both legs and his tail.

Print 

1 of saddle y0 

2 each of saddle y1, y2, y3 y4 (8 in total) 

1 each of all saddle x’s (9 in total)

Putting the pieces together is a bit tricky. The photographs show several views of the finished saddle.

Obviously, because of the thickness of the print, the shape does not squash as flat as a paper model would but it is very tactile and makes nice noises.
