OpenSCAD Customizer Options

We recommend you use OpenSCAD to customize this design.

This design has the following Customizer options:

General

• Diameter - Diameter at widest point
• Sides - Number of sides

Bottom

• Bottom_Height - Uncut height of bottom section
• Bottom_Cutoff_Percent - Percentage to cut from bottom section

Middle

• Middle_Height - Height of middle section

Top

• Top_Height - Uncut height of top section
• Top_Cutoff_Percent - Percentage to cut from top section

Printing

• Orientation - Rotate onto face for easier printing

Preview

• Show_Uncut_Ends - Show uncut ends in preview mode

Design Considerations

In many cases, it should be possible to print designs without supports. For the best results, consider the angle of overhangs and use the Orientation option.

Material

This design is perfect for printing in most filaments, but we recommend translucent filaments/resins in particular for this design.
