Description
Today I would like to show you a printable Rocker Blotter. I suppose people who love the "calligraphy world" will know what it is, and how useful it may become. For people who don't know about it, a rocker blotter is an antique tool, used to dry the ink which doesn't dry so fast. With this tool, you avoid to damage your work letting rests of ink all around the paper.
I made the code in C++, using the new OOML library (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:17761 iearobotics.com/oomlwiki). So, If you want to change some of the parameters (measures) or work with this code to made some derivated or new desings, you should download this libray. Afterwards, you only have to open de project and modify the independent parameters (in RockerBlotter.cpp).
However, I also add too the OpenScad generated code; although I think it isn't very intuitive to change. (I really advise you to work with OOML).

Instructions
Here you have the .stl in separated files:
- the RockerBlotter
- an elegant holder -> ATTENTION: Work in progress*. Still doesn't parametric at all.
- the RockerBlotter with a basic and funcional holder (cause you can print it together).
Or if you want, you can print it directly from the stl. The standard size is:
- wide: 30 mm
- Diameter: 80 mm
- Thickness: 2.5 mm
I've printed one with these dimensions and it works perfectly!!! =)
If you print the elegant holder, you must remove carefully the external plastic. I added it just for made this printable.
Just add the blotter paper, and join the two pieces. If there is still some free space, you can fold the blotter paper. Here you can see how to do it: youtu.be/oWe8voROtQM
Print it and improve the results of your calligraphy works!
