This shows a 3d print of a mathematical sculpture I produced using shapeways.com. This model is available at http://shpws.me/3kFi

Could you make a version of this with the boundaries looking like a circle?

[henryseg]

@The1truesushiboy You mean the "outer" boundary being a circle as well as the "inner" one?

[The1truesushiboy]

@henryseg Yeah. I'm guessing it would need to be warped in some way.

[henryseg]

@The1truesushiboy Well, then it wouldn't be a circle, at least in the geometric sense. I guess we already have a nice parameterisation of the surface (the grid lines), so it would make sense to have the cut off be circular in the parameter space coordinates. It would still be a bit wavy on the actual model though.

Vihart?

@qazman4 I've met Vi a few times at math/art conferences.

its not the first time to see a Möbius twist/strip, but i guess i m in love with its idea.

@henryseg shes prety cool

[truthsprite7]
