Sphericon 05 (Hexagon Based)

cults3d

The sphericon is a solid with an unbroken developable surface featuring two identical semi-circular edges, and four vertices that pinpoint the corners of a square. It belongs to a unique group of rollers capable of bringing their entire surface into contact with a flat surface as they roll on it. This particular sphericon, like some others I'll share soon, is roughly modeled after a hexagon. To create this shape, I positioned circles at each corner and the center, connecting them with smooth curves called splines. Additional arms were added, sweeping around the central axis in the typical way.
