Twisty Pipe

pinshape

This is a cannabis / tobacco pipe with a unique twist! Made of linear extrusions in OpenSCAD, the hourglass-shaped pipe has a small hole running down its middle, like a chillum or one-hit. It also features holes in the weave at each end for optimal aeration. Loading, lighting, and drawing the pipe differently will yield varying results, although it remains untested. You can purchase this innovative device from ShapeWays in glazed ceramic through the following URL: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/CreatorLes. Alternatively, you can download the STL file and print or create one yourself. This project is an excellent opportunity for wire art enthusiasts to showcase their skills. With complete creative freedom, designing a Twisty Pipe allows for endless customization options. The size and shape of the holes, as well as the overall design, are fully customizable, providing ample control over the final product. To achieve optimal results, try experimenting with different shapes and detail levels. Lowering the sides will enable quick changes, while increasing them will produce a smoother finish. For a triangular or square cross-section to each strand, set the sides to three or four. Please note that this object must be crafted from flame-proof materials such as metals, ceramic, or glass to ensure safe use.
