Thanks for the reply Justin,
haha,

That's exactly what we tried. We got a floppy thing going on. Very floppy and it wobbles because of the geometry. We tried cutting it into ovals, because the geometry makes more sense there.

But no luck. Have you tried it before? If so how did you get your geometry to work?

We tried cutting the donut in half too. Sure, it works. But.. there has to be a better way.
