Customizable Lissajous Picture Frame, v1.0 by reml

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago
With the Customizer contest as an inspiration, I took the Lissajous curves that had been sitting in my idea file for months and decided to keep the basic idea simple (a picture frame) while exploring the possibilities of a parametric design. I've used a bunch of 3d modeling tools before but working in OpenSCAD is like the VRML models I made over a decade ago. But harder.
This is my first object made in OpenSCAD and my first object uploaded to Thingiverse!
So here it is. Lissajous curves, or knots as I like to think of them, remind me of Celtic patterns and the horror vacui that drives so much pattern-based art. I think they make a great ornamented frame. I hope you do, too.
I could not have made this so fast, if at all, without finding the clever work of Polymaker and his 2D Graphing Functions in OpenSCAD. Thank you!
I've included a couple snaps of an early test build (built on a Stratasys Dimension SST 1200es at Philadelphia's NextFab Studios - less than 1 cubic inch of build material!). I altered the design a bit after the build.
The design is functional, but I am still refining it. If there is enough interest I will add parametric easel legs to make it a desktop frame.
