Dizingof, my mum is a psychologist and she haves a group that studies Lacan´s work. The entire group is asking me to print this bottle, they are totally stoked with it!, so, now, im printing a scaled up version (1.5 scale), with ABS. It looks great!, thanks for the design!
Beautiful design. However I am getting a problem with the centre column; for about 3 layers the features are so small that nothing is printed. Would you be able to thicken the part up here? Looking at the comments I think other people are having the same problem. The issue is about 15mm up and is only for a few layers.
Since only the middle column had failed, I split the part open, cleaned up the mess and then glued it back together resulting in a very nice print still, but I would love to make one with the column running all the way through!
Made one at 1:20 scale, with 0.1mm layer height. Printed nicely, and the detail is insane at this scale :D
The bottom of the STL doesn't sit flat on the print bed. Â This causes all kinds of hell when you apply various scale and/or slicing configurations.
I've had a couple of good prints and several bad prints because of this.
Wow Dizingof I just love your work! Thanks so much for all the effort. Its like a candy store full of the best treats - help me........
Can you prepare a version with thinner walls? I would like to try printing this on Rostock, 400 mm tall with 4 mm walls or less, when I get back from vacation after August 16. Thank you for a great design!
I've seen your YouTube videos with a credit to me and a link to this page - Thank you!
I will be happy to create a 400mm tall Klein Bottle with thinner walls for your amazing Rostock and if its not much to ask make a copy for me too! ;)
Contact me when you return from vacation.
Btw, i've just finished a new version - A visually stunning view of the inner flow of a Klein bottle:

Buddy, you haven't credit this design or the designer on all your videos and blogs when you showed this design printed on your amazing Rostock - That's not a fair practice in this community.
Please fix that and i'll be happy to work with you when you return from vacation.
Printed easily on Makerbot Replicator. Very cool model. Thanks.
Hi Raygduncan, can you tell me what settings you used to make this on the MB replicator? Also did you scale it or used the original size?
Thanks!
what speed settings did you use? I can't get mine to print the whole way, it usually fails @ the center section about halfway up...just stops printing the middle
About 25% in extruder stopped dispensing plastic on the middle section. Then started again 40% up but with nothing to lay on.
This is taking forever to skein (Pronterface/Sfact), and I was wondering if it was just me or the STL. Anyone else having issues?

Beautiful example of a Klein Bottle. So beautiful, someone tried to re-post the model as their own - http://www.thingiverse.com/thi... - he probably should have tried to copy a model from a lesser-known artist
who copied who? Dizingof off Bathsheba? or Bathsheba off Dizinghof
first? or this person off the two? Why is Dizingof trying to take all
the credit? http://www.bathsheba.com/math/...
Whats with these artists in this community, who have this believe that
divulging trade secrets is on par with the illict traficking of
documents relating to national security. The sadly mistaken notion that
mere possesion of technical information somehow confers advantage has
bred an atmosphere of silence and secrecy. Each fellow practicioner is
viewed as suspiciously as a competitor, which stifles discussion and
sharing of mutual professional concerns and aesthetic issues. The
attitutde literally slows the wheels of progress. Each individual is
left to reinvent the wheel, so to speak. We all use the same tools and
techniques; it is what we do with them that establishes our
individuality. Sharing information is a good thing. When you know how
to do something, you often do it automatically, without much thought.
