Customizable 100Hex

prusaprinters

<p>I recently discovered the <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2477471">100Hex project</a> by <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/tecnoloxia_org">tecnoloxia_org</a> and decided I would challenge myself to add a load of hex designs. These have all been created in OpenSCAD so I've also created a customizable version. If the customizer isn't working today, check out the guide for using OpenSCAD to customize this and other things.</p><p>A load of these patterns are taken from my <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4837562">Customizable Fan Grill Covers</a></p><p>This could be considered work-in-progress as I'll continue to add patterns/features over the next few weeks/months.</p><p>A few ideas for displaying the hexs:</p><ul><li>Use a <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/150326-100hex-wall-frames-filament-saver-remix">wall frame</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2692093">Box Lid</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3819758">Coasters</a></li><li>Glue it to some card or a surface</li><li><a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/kakiemon/designs">kakiemon</a> has created an awesome <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4934332">Belt designer</a> using the patterns!</li></ul><p>Note: Some of the hexes in the first two images, and everything from the third image is from other creators. Check the credit section for more info.</p><h3>Features</h3><ul><li>Loads of customizable patterns</li><li>Add Text (Can increase height for filament change at layer height)</li><li>Import .SVG files (only if using OpenSCAD)</li><li>Add a base (perfect if using <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4875494">this wall frame</a>) or for creating a hex without a outer ring/frame.</li><li>Different frame options (change the inside shape)</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><h3>How to customize‌‌&nbsp;in OpenSCAD</h3><ol><li>Download OpenSCAD from here and install it - <a href="https://openscad.org/downloads.html">https://openscad.org/downloads.html</a></li><li>Download the .SCAD file and open it</li><li>Click WINDOW, then untick Hide Customizer</li><li>Optional: Click Window, then tick Hide Editor</li><li>Customize the settings.
