TrevorLaw’s Mobius’ Dowels

There is the theory of the Mobius

Some of the best Thingiverse objects are the oddest — for example, TrevorLaw’s designs which help you assemble Möbius strip with pieces of cut dowels.

A Möbius strip is of course something that looks like a loop but really has only one side…it also has a bunch of other properties of course, but to us non-math-genius dullards, it just looks like a physical paradox.  Which of course makes it very cool to print.

Even cooler, TrevorLaw has gone ahead and made a parametric version, so you can set the number of sticks and their diameters (and more!)   So you can create your own custom impossibilities — well done!
