I peeled the entire orange from top to bottom in one piece. The looked at me like I was a wizard. Any ways I cut it into 3 pieces and people had this awesome spiral shaped orange peel in their drink that made it look really nice

One idea if you wanted to do it on your printer is you stop your cut end so it does not cut the end, then slide the leather panel and load the next model to cut, then rinse and repeat. this is basically how 3D printers with a moving tread (conveyer belt) base prints long prints. Hope that helps. Great Vids Love from Canada (East)

[@Psysquatched]

Right? I was thinking basically the same thing. Most laser cutters have a pass-through that allows you to use materials longer than your workspace. Using the pass-through to cut this piece would be difficult to get as perfect as the water jet did, but not impossible

If he were to double his panels each day, he could get a week of decent content before the difficulty of stitching panels together might be too much for a human to make.

I've been fascinated with a "1-panel" shape that creates a sphere when, as a kid, I successfully peeled a tangerine, keeping the peel in one piece. However, my "1-panel" shape is a bit different in that it had two "roundish shapes" at the poles. Love your content. Awesome stuff!

I’m pretty sure what he meant by impractical was that it was not only tedious but also difficult to manufacture in-house. So much so that he required outside help. And needing to find someone else with the proper equipment to do so certainly wasn’t free. And outsourcing on a small scale isn’t cheap. Paying someone to provide their services greatly effects the bottom line and profit margins. He’d have to either buy the expensive machines or continue to pay someone else to do it. Either option means less money made for each ball produced or him charging more for each ball which means less money in your pocket and also less people purchasing it due to its higher cost and goes back to less money for him at the end of the day yah know lol

[@djo_man]

I work with both an Industrial Waterjet (a 2015 Flow Mach 1000) and an Industrial Laser Cutter (a 2002 Trumpf TRUmatic L2530). They're equally as accurate, but waterjets severely struggle with super soft materials, such as leather. They make up for this by being able to cut things that lasers can't, such as composites, ceramics, quartzite and granite, and have a much easier time cutting glass. However, the laser is much better for quickly changing your cutting beam diameter, and can process thin materials stupidly quick.

WAIT! YOU LITERALLY MADE SPHERE INTO A 2 DIMENSIONAL SHAPE! You could probably try to create the first correct world map!!!

[@pizzlerot2730]

Not really, since the final 2D surface still needed to be stretched into a sphere by inflation. It's literally impossible to turn a sphere into a truly representative 2D surface (at least given the physical laws of our universe), because there will always be a third dimension of curvature on any section of a sphere no matter how small, and that simply can't exist in 2 dimensions. Truly "flat" sections of a sphere must be infinitesimally small, meaning there is an infinite number of them; and since this is a single piece, then you'd end up with an infinitely long, infinitesimally wide map - not terribly practical 😂 In other words, even using this pattern to map the Earth onto a 2D surface would still produce loads of scale compression in some areas. It's just the nature of geometry.

Such a simple concept & yet the amount of engineering and though that went into the creation makes me want it 😂

You should make a brand out of this, they are elegant vintage style balls and I think people would buy it, even for sitting on your office as decoration, like me!

This may not be very "useful" or "practical for actual ball production, but I am quite curios on the implications of this method applied to mapping, specifically UV mapping for blender. I also love the idea of being able to make an incredibly accurate flat map of the globe using that pattern where all land masses are at their accurate scale.

Now this is interesting. I'd like to have one just because it took planning and creativity, and has no real purpose other than showcasing your ingenuity.

[@BamaMophi]

With a texture like that appears to have, I don’t care if it’s practical. It looks like it’d be pleasing to stim with

KZbin has been shoving this into my recommended for 4 days. I'm here to see what the hype is about.

[@SouthParkStudio]

I think I've seen something like this but wow what an amazing walk through of your process 👏

Waterjet cutters can certainly be quite accurate, around the same as a laser cutter. The problem with this cut was that they use quite a bit of force and so when cutting soft materials they can push the material around a bit during cutting, losing accuracy. For rigid materials this isnt an issue

0:27 The first try you did when you attached the panels together and were opening and closing the ball in your hands, my immediate first thought was how much that looks like a large version of when my dog rips up his tennis ball.😂

you do what i do when i crochet a new patern, i'll do what i want first then simplify and fix anything as i go!

[@tydino101]

Literally you have designed the next world cup ball! ⚽🏆 M10 and CR7 are waiting for it! ❤

His voice is so relaxing, i don't know why.
