The Klein Bottle

A belated update on the evolution of the Klein Bottle: 

Keeping with the new way of building described in the previous Klein Bottle post (9 June 2019 "Another Way to Build the Klein Bottle"), this third version has been much more successful. The elongated curved section is still rather too evenly cylindrical, so the aim for version 4 is to create more variation in the volume and try and create some stronger edges in the curve. 

The bulbous part of the form has turned out nicely, although a little flat on one side - the result of an overnight accidental drop onto the floor from the table. 

A satisfying result for this stage in the development process.
