Parametric Solids of Constant Width

Solids of constant width maintain the same distance from top to bottom no matter the orientation. This allows them to roll smoothly like spheres.A few sample solids are provided. Additional shapes can be generated in the OpenSCAD file by modifying the following lines of code. Parameter descriptions are listed next to the module definitions:The parameters entered into twist_solid() are the number of sides, width of the solid, and number of twist offsets between the two halves of the solid. If 0 twists are desired, the simple_solid() function achieves the same thing with a faster computation. Half-shapes are for if you want to physically play around with the rotations after printing. They come with a single hole for a dowel pin in the middle. Parameters are number of sides, width of solid, diameter of pinhole and half-depth of pinhole.Program Example:Entering “simple_solid(5,30);” or "twist_solid(5,30,0);" Yields the following shape:Entering "twist_solid(5,30,2);" yields
