3D printing the tangent variety to the twisted cubic

This is a brief update to the previous post about the tangent variety to the twisted cubic curve. We made a few test prints of the model and they came out pretty well. There’s some small artifacting where the supports were removed, but this can be minimized with more careful clipping, and will probably be less noticeable on a larger print.

Below are some pictures of the two prototypes. Click for higher resolution.
