PROJECTS

3D Printing & Geometric Models
==============================
	New powder arrived
	Print: Thurs or Friday?
	daVinci models: 
		Work on thinning 
		Need ideas
		Is only way to start over?
	Kepler punch bowl [attached]
		*small* model, w/o thinning.

D-Forms
=======
	Ribbon curves question
	Two circular arcs:
		NOT a ribbon curve
		So: Not all curves are ribbon curves!
		...but, curve has 2nd-order discontinuity [attached]
	New question:
		Is every curve w continuous 2nd deriv (C^2) a ribbon curve?

Pop-Up Books
============
	Rotary animation, V-fold in mountain crease of parallel fold
	Angle of rotation successfully computed (indeed nonlinear)
	Mma animation
	POV-ray animation of V-fold in valley crease, transparent plane
	Will need examples of how to use rotary motion in a card:
		Sun/moon rising over house?
		Car/train wheels?
		
Protein Folding
===============
	Painted backbone
		Bond angles?
	Remake sphere model with new powder, ~6 inches long

Interlocked Chains
==================
	Photos of 11/2-chain
	Build new 60-deg (equilateral triangle) weaving 
		Brace last two angles at ~60 deg
	{Build 108-deg (regular pentagon) weaving -- only if time avial}

	K'nex-like mechanism at angles between 60-90
	John's improved universal joint?
