Wave (Sound) to OpenSCAD Bracelet Converter

thingiverse

By employing the Python script provided with this project, you can convert an audio message recorded in Microsoft Wave format into a unique 3D printed bracelet or necklace design. The wave file is digitized to create a series of concentric circles forming a bracelet-like pattern, which is then transformed into an OpenSCAD script for further customization and printing. This fascinating process is inspired by the instructable on creating waveform jewelry. To begin, record your message using a preferred audio editor in 16-bit PCM format. Next, execute the wave-to-openscad.py script, passing the input wave file and desired output OpenSCAD file name as arguments. The script offers various options to control aspects of the bracelet design, such as circle size, center hole dimensions, and printer bed layout for tray organization. For stereo audio files, only the left channel will be utilized. Once the OpenSCAD file is loaded, change the set_tray variable from -1 (view mode) to 0-n (number of trays) in order to export and print your custom bracelet components. Use the background numbers provided as a guide for assembly.
