MakeALot OpenSCAD Models
Spiral Pencil/Candle/Toothbrush Cup by MakeALot, printed by Charles Pax
If you have been watching the Thingiverse Newest Things list as actively as I have,1 then you will have noticed Mark Durbin (“MakeALot“) releasing a series of gorgeous parametric models developed using OpenSCAD.2
We have been printing a few of these objects in the BotCave and I wanted to share both that image and a bunch of links to interesting things Mark has released so far.
Mark, keep going — your work is gorgeous and that you continue to release your OpenSCAD files provides yet another masterclass for other designers learning that software right now.

The first image is a 2,5 knot the other individual one is a 2,3 knot, the other images show some of the knots you can achieve.

I had it printed in ceramic to see what the quality would be like, I'm happy with the results - in ABS and ceramic.

I finally managed to generate the STL for this, it took 15.5 days and needed an Ubuntu installation on a machine with 4G ram and the latest CGAL libs.

Ciao, Mirko. Non capisco il tuo commento.

Hi Matt, thanks a lot. This is very interesting. I’m currently stuck with the CGAL rendering of a carbon nanotube which takes ages (longer than I was willing to wait so far). Are you aware of any server (cluster) based methods to do the CGAL rendering with openSCAD?
Cheers, Chris
