Introduction

Mathematician August Ferdinand Möbius described in his paper 1858 a shape, which later became known as “Moebius Strip”: a surface with only one side or surface and one edge:

In the physical one can take a strip and twist it once and tape both ends – when creating a 3D representation, one rotates a strip by 180° to a closing circle.

Examples

3D Prints

I printed some of the models on MSLA resin printers with plenty of supports, one more flat and another series more vertical oriented which required more support structure and harder to remove.
