Customizable round hex pattern

thingiverse

I wanted a round lid featuring a hex pattern in its center. Previously, I'd created a parametric square design that I'd coded into scad using my knowledge of open-source software. You can find the original design here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:476127. Instead of taking a shortcut and converting it to an STL file to cut it in FreeCAD, I chose to rewrite the code with a more intricate circular border. Go into the Customizer to enter your specific parameters and generate your own custom round pattern. Occasionally, the Thingiverse Customizer fails to load for me without any reason. If this happens, you can download OpenSCAD from http://www.openscad.org/ and use its version of the scad file directly within the program. I've found that using OpenSCAD is extremely straightforward and it's also faster than relying on the Customizer. Another solution to avoid the loading issue is simply changing your browser to Firefox, as I seem to have more luck with it compared to Chrome.
