Pentagonal Orbiform- Rolling Solid- Free 3DPrint

3D Model

Pentagonal Orbiform is a mathematically perfect solid of constant width. Its profile is based on the regular pentagon (5-sided polygon).

It’s one of the rolling solids - an interesting geometrical form that rolls like a sphere despite of not looking like it would be able to.

The secret behind the rolling is the equal distance behind between the points and their opposite vertices.
