A scutoid is a newly discovered prismatoid shape that has been in the news quite a lot lately. The scutoid shape is one of the several prismatoid shapes that can be found in epithelial cells in nature, and that enable the curvature of layers of these cells. To learn more about this recent discovery by a team of biologists, mathematicians and physicists, you can read the article on Nature.com
here. Alternatively watch the very informative and entertaining YouTube video by Matt Parker (which was my actual inspiration for this design)
here.
One of the interesting properties of scutoid shapes is that they pack together nicely. I have made two versions of this pendant that fit together along their curverd faces to show this characteristic packing property. The two versions make a packing set that you could use as an alternative of the classic broken heart pendants. (If you want a set of these pendants that fit together, make sure to get one print of version 1 and one of version 2.) You can find all the different versions of this pendant
here.
This version of this design has been hollowed out at the bottom to save material and lower the price. If you would rather have a fully solid print of this design, you can find that
here. A third option is the wire-frame version of this same design, which you can find
here.
This pendant is 20mm high (excluding the ring at the top) and about 13mm deep and wide.
