@useless and @danstuff helped out with this before back here
but i'm still struggling.
I want to approximate a hemisphere but I'm just reducing by a fixed amount, whereas I need to reduce by a little bit at first and then gradually more and more.
My parameters are thickness of material, and diameter or radius of the biggest bottom circle.
So you want the upper edge of each circle to be exactly on the hemisphere?
See this (sorry for the quick and dirty sketch), where h is the height of all the discs up to that point (including the one you want to find the radius of), and r is the radius of the hemisphere you're looking for.
