Still my favorite part to print!
I only saw this now...very good idea! I'm very happy that someone on the other side of the planet likes and prints this...3d printing is a cool thing :)
thanks...I updated the file!
strange...maybe older versions of openSCAD would take it anyway...

Instructions
* DXF files supplies the footprint for the extruded parts
* height
* twisting angle
* height of grip
I exported some sample boxes along with some footprint dxf files to get you started.
In the examples I used 1.5mm as the with of the extruded boxes which gets skeinforged into 2 printed layers with no infill in between on my setup. for the space between the screwing parts I used 0.5mm but you might want to make this a little bit bigger if you have very irregularly shaped footprint. There are 4 layers that define how the parts will screw together.

In the SCAD-file is a semicolon missing.
module BoxBottom() {
difference() {
union() {
basicShape("outside_outside", 0, gripH);
&
lt;------
basicShape("inside_outside", 0, totalH-topFloorH);
}
basicShape("inside_inside", bottomFloorH, totalH);
}
}

I made a twisted heart for everyone in my son's 5th grade class for valentine's day. They just loved them. I made a very large one for the teacher. We just love your design. :)

Nice design. My print came out great in translucent PLA! The top and bottom fit together perfectly.
cool...that probably means you have calibrated the skeinforge parameters very well :)
I made a couple with PLA - I ended up with _way too tight_ of a ft.
I dropped the temp 30 degrees - with the same problem. Anybody with some Plastics/Mat Sci-Fu?
Ovality is good - table is level, z-wobble is good. Belts are tight.
What am I doing wrong?
How did you make the gold ones?
they are not gold...its black ABS from the makerbotstore. the picture was taken with a mobile phone cam and a the light was kind of yellowish.
If you print them in white ABS it gets REALLY pretty when you put an LED in it. I put an RGB led in it with a small 3 V button cell battery in it.
wow..this looks cool. it's so cool to see the model printed somewhere in the world shared by the internet :)
thanks! I also want to print them as gifts...made from PLA instead of ABS because its greener :)
This is wonderful, thanks! I'm definitely printing some of these as christmas gifts.
Still my favorite part to print!
