Customizable Ripples
thingiverse
Customizable Ripples lets you build a 3D graph of a formula like z=fn(x,y), with default settings for radial patterns, randomness, or custom layouts. Drawing on the powerful OpenSCAD 3D Surface Plotter by dnewman, and inspired by ripples in time from tc_fea, I aimed to create one that includes straightforward presets. V1.1 incorporated height shading so they appear clearer in the editor, but feel free to download OpenSCAD and the source (.scad) file to examine and edit on your own computer. This way, it can also be adjusted to graph other functions - just set the "z" function to whatever you want to plot.
With this file you will be able to print Customizable Ripples with your 3D printer. Click on the button and save the file on your computer to work, edit or customize your design. You can also find more 3D designs for printers on Customizable Ripples.
