"The sphericon is a solid that has a continuous developable surface with two congruent semi circular edges, and four vertices that define a square. It is a member of a special family of rollers that, while being rolled on a flat surface, bring all the points of their surface to contact with the surface they are rolling on." Source: Wikipedia

This sphericons (like some other i'm going to upload) isroughly based on a hexagon. I placed some circles in the corners and the center, connected with some splines.Like usually swiped around the center axis.

I did those things a while ago and wasn't sure if I should upload them or not. It was just about practicing in Fusion 360 and have some fun prints / giveaways. Now I made up my mind and upload them.

And of course I've stolen the idea shamelessly from Maker's Muse. So enjoy his video and give a thumbs up or subscribe.
