[DaveMakesStuff] demonstrates a great technique for 3D printing a sphere; a troublesome shape for filament-based printers to handle. As a bonus, it uses a minimum of filament. His ideas can be applied ...
This paper develops an efficient algorithm which generates the pentaspherical coordinates of the spheres in an osculatory packing of the three-dimensional unit sphere. The algorithm has a tree-like ...
