A script to generate meshes (.stl) of (complex) spherical harmonics for 3d printing.

Pregenerated meshes are available here: https://www.printables.com/model/1490949-spherical-harmonics

Usage

1. Create a sphere in a CAD program, with your desired size and resolution.
2. Export it as an stl file to sphere.stl.
3. Select the functions to generate by changing the L_M_PAIRS constant.
4. Select a radius for the support ball in the center by changing the SUPPORT_BALL_SIZE.
5. cargo run it.
6. The results will be output to the results folder.

Note that the generated models will be a bit smaller than input original sphere.

Additionally this repo contains a python script to optimize the meshes.
