Moire Pattern Generators

Four decorative two-part ornaments feature rotating components with distinct patterns. When two identical designs are slightly offset, they form classic moire patterns. These ornaments showcase this effect. Furthermore, different unrelated pattern types can be rotated together, producing a variety of intricate designs. An openSCAD program demonstrating the rotation of the ornaments is provided for users. Print Settings: Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator (5th Generation) Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 mm Notes: Printing large, flat objects directly on the build platform may result in curling at the edges. To minimize this effect, a raft is recommended, but with increased space between the raft and object to facilitate removal. Post-Printing: Using the Ornaments: These two-part ornaments can be adjusted to display unique patterns and used as decorative items - an included picture showcases their potential. Viewing them through white paper and rapidly rotating back and forth creates an optical effect reminiscent of a moire fringe. For easy rotation, some users may need to smooth the outer edges with sandpaper and apply a lubricant. The design features raised areas on the outer edges, designed to facilitate turning the components.
