Custom Semi-Circle Ruler/Template

thingiverse

This is a versatile semi-circle/circle template designed for specialized art projects, capable of accommodating A3 sized paper with ease. It's an experiment in utilizing 3D printing technology to create custom templates and rulers, showcasing its potential applications. The STL and SketchUp files provided offer a range of possibilities for users looking to push the boundaries of their creativity. Although it may not be a precision instrument, this template is well-suited for art projects or conceptual illustrations where accuracy is not a top priority. Caution is advised when setting printer parameters, as rapid and careless prints can result in imperfections, particularly with some circle templates. Experimenting with different settings is essential to achieve the desired outcome. By strategically changing filament colors mid-print, users can create striking visual effects, such as the black text on this template, achieved by switching from yellow to black after 2.1 mm of printing at a layer height of 0.3 mm.
