Falling Ladder via Desmos

thingiverse

Falling Ladder design was created from a http://Desmos.com graph and converted to an STL. Read the full details at http://designmaketeach.com/2016/02/18/3d-printing-graphs-with-desmos/ This thing is a 3D rendering of a 2D graph example in Desmos.com that is named Lists: Falling Ladder https://www.desmos.com/calculator/xdpigkjalg The purpose is to provide a model demonstrating the end product of the conversion of 2D graph in Desmos to a 3D model. As kitwallace points out in the comments, this would be an incorrect solution to a falling ladder problems as the lines are regular intervals. Please feel free to share a correct solution. Update: New model with x & y axis added. This thing was converted with Tinkercad. Edit it online https://www.tinkercad.com/things/0XCYFUUkgQE How I Designed This Graph to 3D Print Graph to 3D Print -Create graph at Desmos.com or use one of the provided examples -Set graph color to black –Graph Settings: Click Projector Mode –Graph Settings: Turn off grid and axis -Take a screenshot of the graph area OR -Login to Desmos and save the image. Share Graph –> Image -Convert image to SVG using Online-Convert http://image.online-convert.com/convert-to-svg -Download SVG -Import SVG into Tinkercad (Try 10% scale and 2mm height) -Scale model and download STL -3D Print Advanced - graph manipulation Advanced – graph manipulation -Import screenshot or graph image to Inkscape -Path > Trace Bitmap -Select graph and Edit Paths by Node -Modify stroke style to create thicker lines for printing
