Interlocked Rings

thingiverse

This OpenSCAD file, originally by guru, was enhanced with parameters tweaked for improved build quality. The rings are now thicker and the number of rings adjustable, arranged in a circle. Tilt and distance between rings were adjusted to avoid overlap. Tor versions replaced cylinder sections with toroids and further fine-tuned. Ideal offsets may be calculated later. Three and seven ring sets are included, with up to seven fitting in the original design and ten in the toroid version for a complete circle. A cylinder version remains in the file as well. Experiment with existing sets or customize parameters; post discoveries! Be cautious of potential bugs in skeinforge-0006 fill and towering modules. Torus versions have slightly worse overhang but handle it better, while skeinforge-0006 couldn't slice ringsN10tor.stl, but version 7 seemed to work.
