Customizable Pair of Packable Scutoids

###UPDATE: This model now makes a PAIR of packable Scutoids, and you can customize various properties and dimensions. In most cases the pair will have two identical pieces that pack together exactly. There's a new shape in town! In a new article *[Scutoids are a geometrical solution to three-dimensional packing of epithelia](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-05376-1)* in the journal *Nature*, a group of scientists just introduced a new shape that they have dubbed a "Scutoid". Read more at [Hacktastic](http://mathgrrl.com/hacktastic/2018/07/pairs-of-packable-scutoids/). **This model is CUSTOMIZABLE:** Click on the "Open in Customizer" button to get started, then change parameters to suit your needs. Or, download the demo model, which is particularly nice. A hollow version of the demo model is also included for download. Check out a video of the model at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACk7BCAJDnw. To learn more about scutoids and their shape, watch Matt Parker's excellent explainer and construction video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_NZ1ql8B8Y. Don't have a printer, or want something fancy? You can [order solid or hollow pairs of these scutoids](https://www.shapeways.com/product/L4D27PP24/pair-of-packable-scutoids) at affordable 50% scale from our Shapeways shop: [](https://www.shapeways.com/product/L4D27PP24/pair-of-packable-scutoids) Mathematically, a [Scutoid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scutoid) is a [Prismatoid](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prismatoid) to which one extra mid-level vertex has been added. This extra vertex forces some of the "faces" of the resulting object to curve. This means that Scutoids are not polyhedra, because not all of their faces are planar. In this model, and in the *Nature* article, the Scutoid has one hexagonal face, and on the flipside, one pentagonal face. In the default configuration of this model, we scaled the faces so that the edges of the hexagonal and pentagonal faces are equal; you can change this scaling i
