This is Day 8 of my collection of printable equations. To see the whole collection, go to: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:227210 For today's equation, I'm continuing the series of equations of the form |x^b + y^c| = a (See days 2, 6, and 7). Previously, we saw that as b and c went from <1, to 1, to >1, the quadrants of the shape went from bending inward, to straight, to bowing out. As b,c --> 2, the quadrants continue to bow out until they form a perfect circle, and today's equation: x^2 + y^2 = a. You can see the progression in the posted photo. Details: As always, I'm going to continue to post one equation per day until get bored or people lose interest. If there's a particular equation you'd like to see, leave a comment and I'll give it a shot. All files can be printed without support. Photos shown were printed on a Replicator 2 and sliced using the standard setting on Makerware.
