Bathsheba on Thingiverse!

Bathsheba, a mathematically-minded sculptor who normally sells individual copies of her designs, has shared a couple of her designs on Thingiverse.  Her work is very well-suited for 3d printing, so these are exciting aesthetic additions to our community.

Bathsheba has been sharing her designs on her own site for some time, but we’re really excited to see her join the Thingiverse community.  Welcome!  And now folks — let’s see if we can print these amazingly intricate designs!

And don’t forget — we’ll see you at World Maker Faire NYC tomorrow!

It's art! Good for absolutely nothing. Kidding aside, it's sort of a Mobius strip made out of a Voronoi network. I used Qhull to compute the network, a homebrew thickening algorithm to make the struts 3D, then Surface Evolver and (I think) ZBrush to smooth it out.

This is a sculpture, it has no function. I modeled it in Rhinoceros. It's also available from the Downloads (http://bathsheba.com/downloads) section of my site, bathsheba.com. If you make one, I'd love to see it! Thanks!
