Mathematics-inspired sculptures. How can the mathematically inclined _not_ appreciate such work as can be described by "An old favorite, simple and elegant, with the beautiful D2 dihedral symmetry group"?

I think I've heard of 3D printing "outside the lab", but I think this is the first that I've heard that suggests that the prices for such things are not completely out of reach of J. Random Individual.

I'd like to see one working on one of these pieces.
