These models are examples of surfaces that have a nonremovable discontinuity at the origin. They are examples I use in one of my lessons for my Multivariable Calculus class.

**Infinity Surface** has the equation z = y/(x^2 + y^2).
At (0,0) you can find limits of 0, infinity, and negative infinity.

**Pinched Surface** has the equation z = 2xy/(x^2 + y^2).
At (0,0) you can find limits of 0, 1 and -1.

Created with Mathematica.

**Infinity Surface** approximately 102 x 102 x 102 mm. Printed with supports and raft.

**Pinched Surface** approximately 102 x 102 x 52 mm. Printed with supports and raft.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which 3D printer is suitable for Discontinuity Surfaces?
Any FDM printer should handle Discontinuity Surfaces just fine. It's been printed on machines like Bambu Lab A1 Mini, Prusa Mini+, Creality Ender 3, most FDM printers. A minimum build volume of 102 mm is recommended.
Does Discontinuity Surfaces need supports when printing?
Yes, Discontinuity Surfaces will probably need supports for the overhangs. Tree supports work well here and are easier to remove than regular ones.
What file format is Discontinuity Surfaces available in?
Discontinuity Surfaces is available in STL format. These files can be opened and sliced using free software such as Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, or OrcaSlicer for FDM printing, or ChiTuBox and Lychee Slicer for resin printing. The download is provided through Thingiverse.
Is Discontinuity Surfaces free to download?
Yes, Discontinuity Surfaces is available as a free download through Thingiverse. Always check the license on the original platform to understand commercial use, remixing, and attribution requirements.
