Designed this soap holder using the idea of a loosely folded sheet of paper, which is also closely related to the shape of a meandering river. Design was completed using SciPy integration and CadQuery based on the equations developed by Leopold and Langbein. ![]()
The model is slightly springy but sits flat. The CadQuery source code for this model is included, so please remix as you wish!
I printed the pictured version using spiral vase-mode with a 0.6mm extrusion width, and it printed in only about 2.5 hours! I recommend you print with the included orientation in the STL with the flat side of the curves touching the buildplate.
See here for more information about these curves:

The author marked this model as their own original creation.
