Parametric Sieve - with OpenSCAD
*** Updated version: now includes optional stacking supports which allow the sieves to fit better if you want to stack them. Six new parameters to play with.
Original Notes:
I wanted a sieve, and I had problems running the code in the other examples on here so I wrote this.
I've uploaded a couple of example sieve designs both 200mm diameter so they should fit on most printers. One has 3.2mm holes and the other has 4.8mm holes. If you want any more and you really can't run the scad then let me know. The real purpose of the upload is to share the code with anyone who needs it.
If you're playing around with the .scad features, setting the mesh size to something fairly large (say 10% of the sieve diameter) will render much quicker while you're playing. Set the mesh to something smaller when you're done with changing everything else.
Features:
File names for .stl files - the numbers indicate:
Note: if you're using the .stl files, they may print better if you choose ones with a mesh size and spacing that's an integer multiple of your nozzle size. If you have a 0.4mm nozzle then choose the 2.4, 3.2 etc size. If you have a 0.5mm nozzle then go for the 2.5, 3.0 etc size - unless you need a very specific size of mesh. In reality, they should print OK regardless of your nozzle size.
Note: A sieve is a real torture test for your slicer software - it will take a very long time to slice.
You need to install the BOSL2 library for this code to work. See notes in the code. It's not difficult.
If you have problems with the preview render (F5) in OpenSCAD then see the notes in the code. The workaround is to use F6.
