Customizable Lissajous Picture Frame, v1.0

Customizable Lissajous Picture Frame, v1.0

Description

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.
