Was playing with isosurfaces yesterday and modeled this. Can you tell 
what it is?

Looks like some sort of bearing ... but that would be too obvious ... Cool
looking, though. Are you gonna post the source to this one? ;)

Square rollerbearings?

Hmmmm.  Splined bore, appears to be rubber treaded outside diameter,
lawnmower wheel?

Not a bearing.... in fact friction is the reason those bumps are on the 
inside like that. They should have a more saw-toothed appearance than 
they do.

I posted the source to povray.text.scene-files. I fixed it some, making 
the metal texture a little more obvious and the inside groove a little 
bit sharper.

No splines were used. The source code in povray.text.scene-files shows 
how it was made (a lot simpler than using splines).

It does sort of resemble a lawn mower wheel.... but that isn't it. That 
texture is actually a metal texture with a poor environment :(

hummm ,  an electric shaver blade ?

How do you manage to design the isosurface ? By reading the code I can not
imagine what it will look like ...

Great work.

I'd say it's some kind of ratcheting device for use where a ratchet with a
handle won't fit. By the way, when Graybeard used the word "spline", he was
using it in mechanic's terminology, not computer terminology.

Looks cool, whatever it is. It looks like a wheel of some sort, though I can't
work out what the grid pattern is for.

I wrote this earlier:

Judging by the image I posted, I'd be surprised if anyone could guess 
it! I was a little overzealous with my isosurface usage, and my approach 
    at it was making a few things difficult to match.

Here's a more accurate representation of the object in question, this 
time made with csg. It's much, much closer than the last attempt.

In real life it wouldn't look nearly this big, nor would it be this 
clean (unless it was new). It's part of a *very* common object.
