This model is a geometrically accurate 3D representation of a **hyperbolic cube**.
I created it while experimenting in CAD, exploring hyperbolic geometry. It represents a cube in hyperbolic space with negative curvature on all six faces.
Important Note: FDM printing has its limitations with this shape due to the nature of hyperbolic geometry. The sharp points likely won’t come out perfectly, but you can improve the results by tweaking print speeds toward the end and experimenting with different orientations. (I’ve included 3MF files for a couple of orientations I’ve tested.)
If needed, I usually snip the tips slightly for a cleaner look—just a small clip, and you’re good to go! The tips are delicate, so handle them with care. Though it can be a challenge, this shape is absolutely worth printing.
I have no idea how it would perform with resin printing, but I’d love to see the results if you give it a try!
I’ve included some 3MF files for printing the model in two halves. To capture
