Sphericons are shapes that are similar to mobius strips in the way that you are able to follow a path all the way around the shape. This gives them a unique roll. Depending on the type of sphericon the roll is different. For example, while the quadrilateral sphericon wabbles as it rolls the hexagonal sphericon rolls fairly straight then does a drastic turn spinning almost 180 degrees before going straight again. They are fun and interesting to hold and play with. Print two of the type you want and then glue them together so they look like the picture. I used super glue but 3D Gloop would probably work best. Print at any density you desire and it works best when printed at 0.2mm layer height.
