Spherical Harmonic Christmas Sphere

thingiverse

Sphere with additional radial deformation of SphericalHarmonics. out.stl: l=15,m=2 Instructions more to come, I am writing on a c++ program to create those shapes.. You can download the program for windows here: https://github.com/bkubicek/sphericalator/downloads Otherwise compile yourself using qt>4.7 Spherical Harmonics are also the solution for Schrödinger's Equation in the non-radial part. So you can geek out and imagine its either nuclear cores that are vibrating, or a strange "visualization" of exited hydrogen atom. see e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_harmonics or http://mathworld.wolfram.com/SphericalHarmonic.html I have not printed any yet, probably support would be required.
