This is an OpenSCAD project to create a parametric helicone. see https://youtu.be/4uZ58fo3btg also on thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3440663
To create an helicone:
- find an axis
- find a base and drill a hole, make sure the axis can turn freely
- if you want to customize it:
- launch openscad and (re)generate helicone.dxf
- open the dxf in a dxf editor and put the numbers back on the wings, they must be engraved (not cut !)
- lasercut the helicone
- glue the spacers one above / one below using the centering holes and paperclips
- the bottom spacer must be tied to the axis :)
- at the top of your axis, put something to hold everything together !
What I did is that I drilled holes throughout the axis at the top and the bottom and then put some paperclip to hold everything together ;)
that's it, have fun !
Improvements :
- rework the openscad file to clean it
- put an option to see position 2
- put an option to make an animation
- better optimize the space on the lasercut
