**Good day!**

I have a question. Can someone assist me in constructing a Gömböc?

The Gömböc was created by mathematicians Gabor Domokos and Peter Varkonyi.

Mit freundlichen Grüssen

It’s a famous Object.

You will be able to find a STL or even a CAD file.

Look from top, bottom and side, even cut it in half you will see some pattern.

It probably started off as a simple shape like a cylinder and things were shaved off.

It seems so…

Using the 3D viewer with sections, it’s awesome.

3d viewer is pretty cool they have Section View!

Ya just look at that you should be able to duplicate it or not file is already made!
