Decorative knots

trefoil-ornamentsI’ve been back printing on the FormLabs 1+ liquid printer this week. I decided it was time to print out some more knots, this time for use as festive decorations. I printed out Laura Taalman’s Trefoil Managerie and used some red gift ribbon to create ornaments. Previously Laura had given me a torus with a (5,2) torus knot. I also turned this into a decoration.

I’ve also printed more snowflakes. Again from Laura Taalmans’ Snowflake Machine, the small snowflakes that have a circle so you can hang them up. Awesome.

IMG_3623I’ve a had blast the past week or so 3d printing some snowflakes. They are for the math department for decorations around the holidays.

I’ve been using Mathgrrl’s (aka Laura Taalman) snowflake ornaments (Thigiverse thing 195032). She’s since customized the design here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:570339.

I also had a blast printing some of her fractal snowflakes from the Snowflakerator snowflake machine found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1159436.

IMG_3677I even designed a few of my own found here, here and here.
