About this 3D model

These are interesting because as they roll, the center of mass remains a constant height above the table! This means they roll smoothly, and have no desired resting position (unless material is >2mm thick) From the excellent book "How Round Is Your Circle".

I wish Thingiverse supported gif animations - check out my blog to see some.
