It isn’t perfect, and it probably won’t actually work as a Gömböc either, because the shape is reported to be very sensitive to dimensional tolerances. But I spent quite a bit of time and energy on this and thought somebody might use it as a starting point for improvements. Or better yet, that it would persuade the Gömböc discoverers that it is time to finally publish the details of the commercial Gömböc shape in the open literature.
There’s a design patent on the particular Gomboc shape, but that doesn’t apply to mono-monostatic shapes in general, and it expires in a few years anyway. I’ve added a bounty on creating/finding a working 3d model of a mono-monostatic shape.
Thingiverse doesn’t appear to have a working 3D model, nor does there appear to be one elsewhere. See this link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:10190

Whew, glad I didn’t invest more time in this. Seems there is lurking complexity everywhere.
