100Hex Wall Frames (Filament Saver Remix)

Description

Update: Included a version with rotated supports. I've also uploaded the OpenSCAD script if you want to customize the frame ([check out this guide if you've never used OpenSCAD](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4899719)) I recently discovered the [100Hex project](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2477471) by [tecnoloxia_org](https://www.thingiverse.com/tecnoloxia_org) and decided I would challenge myself to add a load of customizable hex designs ([I've started uploading them here if you want to check them out](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4872188)). I liked the current frame design, but after printing one, I realised that I would end up using a load of filament just printing the frames. I also had trouble withthe snap-fit connector so decided to work on a quick solution. Instead of printing an entire frame, just the main parts are included. You can print the hex with a base and change layers on height or just use card/paper to fill the back (which makes it easier to draw on/add color). I've used cheap recycled black card that I picked up for cheap on ebay, it's held in by the hex when it's fitted. Rather than printing snap-fit connecters or a frame thick enough to fit a screw hole, there is holes for cotton string. You can simply tie the frames together and then use a bit of string to hang it on a nail or screw. Thanks to the original creators! There is no way I would of had the idea for this without them. According to cura: This version: - 11g - Just over 1.5 hours Original: - 31g - 3 Hours, 45 mins and for each connector: - 2g - 16 mins As per the original, you may find it better to scale this slightly. I find everything fits together perfectly if I print the frame at 100.1% width & length (or the hexes at 99.9%). It will depend on your printer and filament so print a test before you go wild! The hexes in the images are: - [100 Hex Single Lightbulb (edge)](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4770410) by [minching](https://www.thingiverse.com/minching) - [100hex portal](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4048987) by [2CoB9](https://www.thingiverse.com/2CoB9) - The torus is from the original [100Hex](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2477471), I believe it was made by [tecnoloxia_org](https://www.thingiverse.com/tecnoloxia_org)
