Clifford Sculptures (Climber)

This sculpture is one in a series of three derived from the Clifford parallel geodesics of the cell-centered stereographic projection of the four-dimensional 600-cell. Visit my page for links to others in this series. See here for video: https://youtu.be/MTMeT03aBJ0 

The 600-cell is a stunningly beautiful regular 4-polytope, but its beauty is nearly impossible to appreciate because, well, we can only perceive three dimensions!

One way to deconstruct and appreciate the 600-cell is to understand it in terms of geodesic great circles. The 600-cell is made up of 72 great decagons. The 72 great decagons can be divided into 6 sets of 12 non-intersecting Clifford parallel geodesics, such that only one decagonal great circle in each set passes through each vertex, and the 12 decagons in each set reach all 120 vertices.

When exploring or printing these sculptures, I encourage you to orient to the geometry by first locating the complete decagons. Every line portion of is course part of a larger great decagon that has been removed to reduce complexity and highlight specific aspects of the geometry.

These are advanced sculptures to print and require meticulous planning and support structures. The models pictured were printed with an FDM printer, 0.4mm nozzle at 0.1mm layer height, although these designs are probably better suited to SLA or SLS printing technology.

This project was inspired by the book "Visualizing Mathematics with 3D Printing" by Henry Segerman.

Clifford Carousel

Named because of its circular symmetries, this sculpture is the easiest to print. It is made up of nine of the smallest Clifford parallel geodesics connected with “struts” to form three interconnected 30-tetrahedron Boerdijk–Coxeter helix rings. 

Clifford Core

Named because of its similarity to an apple core, this sculpture does not contain any full geodesic great circles, but instead shows the interrelation between portions of eleven geodesic great circles, one through the middle and ten twisting around. The sculpture can also be seen as portions of five twisted Boerdijk–Coxeter helix rings containing 21 of the full 30 tetrahedrons.

Clifford Climber

Named for is similarity to playground climbing structures, this sculpture contains nine of the largest Clifford parallel geodesics which, like the “Clifford Carousel,” are connected with “struts” to form three interconnected 30-tetrahedron Boerdijk–Coxeter helix rings. This sculpture is the most difficult to understand and by far the trickiest to print!

Blackmagic ATEM Mini Extreme mount bracket

This bracket is for mounting a Blackmagic ATEM Mini Extreme onto a Penn Elcom R1290/1U Sliding Rack Tray.  Use 10-24 bolts and square nuts.  (Washers also advised.)  The left bracket is provided - just mirror it in the slicer to get the right bracket.  It prints without supports on its outside face - you will need to rotate it in the slicer for print orientation.  This may work with other ATEM Mini models, but it was developed specifically for the ATEM Mini Extreme and hasn't been tested with any others.  The geometry of the mount points is simple enough that if you need to mount your ATEM Mini in a different way, it should be straightforward to edit the STL in modeling software.  I am also uploading the FreeCAD (version 0.20) model for any that would like to edit it in CAD.

Gridfinity 1x1 gopro bolt holder.STL

Gridfinity holder made for the bolts used by gopro to mount it. Fits 4 bolts. 
Uses a 1x1 base and is stackable. 
I printed it with base down, no support, otherwise close to default settings for pla.

Watercolor Palette for portable Storage container

I dislike having a huge footprint for my art supplies and was having difficulty finding an "all inclusive" portable watercolor/sketch kit at all, let alone for an inexpensive price tag. So I made one. 

This print took me about 17hrs on my Creality CR6-SE as I wanted it to be super solid and smooth. 

This palette is made to fit a 3-layer storage container from walmart (https://www.walmart.com/ip/3-Layers-Clear-Storage-Organizer-with-Portable-Handle-Adult-and-Kids/886448267) on the second shelf. 
- There is a notch placed in the corner so it will be easily removable. You can use the underside as additional palette/mixing paint space
- The palette holds up to 18 colors with 6 of those spaces being "double sized" for your most used colors. 
- I filled the pockets with liquid watercolor paints and let them dry out. There is no loss in quality from the paints this way. 

I've cut some watercolor paper and made a custom art block to fit the top shelf (This is a good tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z52qcOhShvM)
- If you put a small ribbon under/glued to the back then you can easily lift it out and use the space as more palette/mixing paint space

I put these supplies in my bottom shelf:
- Two 4oz Mason Jars for cleaning and painting water (https://www.hobbylobby.com/Clearance/Clearance---Crafts-Hobbies/Clearance---Glass-Crafting/Quilted-Glass-Mason-Jar---4-Ounce/p/100968) NOTE: I replace the lids of my jars with plastic ones as they are easier for me to use and dishwashable
- A small water spritzer I recycled from an old planter kit
- A chunky chip clip that I use to hold loose paper down or rest my wet brushes on 
- 2 scraps of old T-shirt for drying brushes and blotching paint up
- Snack bag with kneadable eraser
- .5 and .7 mechanical pencils with a lead refill container
- .8 and .05 white Gellyroll pens
- .005 and brush Micron ink pens
- 3 Prismacolor color pencils for sketching
- 3 Princeton heritage brushes in sizes 3, 6, and 1 (the 1 I had to cut the end of the brush to make it fit, about 1/4 inch)


NOTE: there is still some room for additional supplies. Maybe 2-3 more brush/pencils can fit on the bottom shelf without causing it to not close. 
Also if you make the top waterblock thinner, or after a while of removing them, you can fit pens/pencils at the top too. 

This has been super handy for me to keep all my watercolor supplies safe, tidy, and portable for going out on adventures. I do also usually carry a small A5 sketchbook with me for when I want to be more of a "journaling" mood. 


Fujifilm 27mm lens cap

This is a lens cap specifically designed for the Fujifilm XF 27mm lens. This lens cap protects the protruding focus portion of the lens, unlike the stock lens cap. 

It should be printed flat, pattern-side down, using TPU.
