Description
The first 3D print ever of a part from the inside of the mandelbulb (as far as I know…)In raw "Strong White and flexible" and painted in gray by me… I think I will give it some clear coat too, to make it more "Spine like"
The inside of the brace shows the outside of the mandelbulb spine.
Here are some renders I did before of the spine (this is a thin slice of it):
And on my 3D printed mandelbulb bracelet you can actually see the pointy spine on the inside:
…and for a more affordable jewelry, check out my Mandelring:
M3D > Fiji > Meshlab > Netfabb > Shapeways > your wrist

Use it as a brace, or just as a beautiful mathematic sculpture...

I let my brain love fractals, I love to set time free as I collect them.
Hunting seashells in an infinite beach, I wish I had endless Energy.
Ironic they seem just Arabesque motifs, with a 2G intel processor.
Hunting the Divine in a non-human math sadhaka's hallucination.
And all which humanity has had to go clean through for you to try,
convince me that this is not a dry accidental plastic drip you found.

What a beautiful poetic insightful comment. ...Hunting the Divine in a non-human math sadhaka's hallucination...
Thank you Robert!
It describes much of the feeling I have while "Harvesting the infinite fields of virtual surreality in the parallel cosmos of 3D fractals"
"And all which humanity has had to go clean through for you to try"... I am very honored to be able to use the tools supplied by the mathematical geniuses.
Not sure of how to convince you of this object being for "real" in these worlds, but two of the images I link to above are taken from this part of the inside of the 3D mandelbrot set (the mandelbulb) fav.me/d68yzpe http://fav… I am pretty sure you can see the resemblance...
Glad you like it!

This is very interesting!!! First time that I see something like this!! How does making this work?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, it is a long and complicated process, but to make it short:
I find the objects in a world of 3D mathematics with the help of an application called mandelbulb 3D, I run it through the other programs i mention above^^^ And send it to be printed in 3D at shapeways.
You can read about the printing process for the material used for this model here: www.shapeways.com/materials/st…

And you were a brave man... before this comment...
Thank you Tim! At the edge of printable... Might have to fix some stuff to get them to print it again I'm afraid...
