Curvy Cube Redux by thehans

Last crawled date: 4 years, 7 months ago
A customizable artsy, geometricky box / cube.
This started as a sketch on paper just drawing curves on the faces of a cube and seeing how they could combine together continously. I found three ways to do it, which split the cube into two identical halves and decided to model them in 3D.
Curve type 1 has a quarter circle on each face.
Curve type 2 has a half circle on each face(well, 4 of the 6 faces anyways)
Curve type 3 has 3/4 circle on each face.
All styles take two identical pieces to form a cube.
Hollow and solid versions are possible.
Provided STLs are 50mm cubes with 5mm thick walls.
Type 3 is the most interesting shape to me, but unfortunately the least practical to print since the walls are 0 thickness in places.
I have updated the scad and model for curve type 3, the faces now use partial ellipse curves to avoid the 0 thickness walls. The customizer and openscad seem to have problems previewing this curve type 3. It renders fine in OpenSCAD though.
Comment and post your makes if you do any, thanks!
