Lithophane Calibrator - Parametric Square

thingiverse

Thomas Pmaxuw's Lithophane Filament Calibrator is as elegant a concept as it is a simple design. He created a simple wedge design to service this ambition. The concept is to print different thicknesses of a given material to see what range will work to create a Lithophane. This is a simple yet impressive concept and the model is well executed. That said, I couldn't help but tinker. My first remix, Lithophane Calibrator - Parametric Grid (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4139947) was a grid containing a range of cells of varying thicknesses. This model is a square that has ten larger columns of varying thicknesses. I have created STLs for the following ranges of thickness: - .5mm - 1.4mm - 1mm - 1.9mm - 2mm - 2.9mm - 3mm - 3.9mm - 4mm - 4.9mm - 5mm - 5.9mm - 6mm - 6.9mm - 7mm - 7.9mm - 8mm - 8.9mm - 9mm - 9.9mm The largest model you can create would be 9mm - 9.9mm. Like the first remix, this model has been designed in OpenSCAD. While the uploaded models can be useful, if you have any skill with OpenSCAD or care to brave the Customizer you can modify many of the parameters of this model to suit your needs. See the information below for how to build and configure this model. Please post pictures if you print this model. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you to Thomas Pmaxuw for the original concept that inspired this model.
