Sine Wave Woven Basket

thingiverse

I wanted to shake things up for #waveywednesday so I merged my 3D weaving technique with a wicker basket designed using a sine wave formula. This can be achieved in multi-color or single color. To create the weaving effect with a single color, ensure that the posts and weave undergo different processes or they will blend together. Important: The design assumes an extrusion width of exactly 0.4mm, so for optimal results, you need to use a 0.4mm nozzle and set the extrusion width to 0.4mm. You can try using a different size nozzle, but then you must scale the entire model (for example, to use a 0.5mm nozzle, scale to 125%). Since I haven't tried it myself, I cannot guarantee its success. The suffix L is for the large model, and S for the small. You need all five STL files: base, post, weave1, weave2, and rim, and you must align the model origins. If you print this design, please upload a picture and tag me on Twitter @patterntoprint.
