Description

Quick little OpenSCAD scrip to generate a roman emperor style coin or medal from a bust, using Bre's head as an example.

The script is public domain, not Bre's head which I believe he still needs, from time to time. ;-)

UPDATE: Renosis printed one out!

UPDATE: Added another version that:
a. Raises the profile up on a one millimeter ledge to make sure it generates several layers in Skeinforge before it starts to fill in the top.
b. Recesses the profile into the coin/medal, with a raised edge all around.

That coin looks really cool.

Unfortunately, the second one I printed (the one without the "MakerBot Industries"). Didn't take to being sliced well. It really confused skeinforge for some reason. So, I think the only way to make it work would be to print vertically. Kind of like MaskedRetriever suggested. Of course this introd
uces a whole slew of problems.

Yes, that is what I said. In fact, that is why I printed it, because I wasn't sure it would come out at all. But I don't think it looks bad the way it is. I am going to print the new version now.

I think the bass relief might come out better printed vertically-- of course one would need to file off the bottom a bit to get good build platform stickage..

I need to dig up those nifty OpenSCAD letter scripts to add a motto to this fine medal. :-)

Nice!

Thank you, it might need some improvements so it prints with more visible detail... but it's a nice little start. :-)
