3D model description

This things demonstrate how an OpenSCAD module can be used to eliminate the Elephant's Foot affect when designing and printing a 3D object. The module, which you can copy and paste to your own OpenSCAD scripts, insets the one or a few first layers such that they do not protrude the object outline.

You can either print the test STL module here or play with the customizer, trying various settings, or just download the .scad file and paste the inset module in your own OpenSCAD script.

Note that OpenSCAD also allows to import STL models so if you have non OpenSCAD STL module you can import it to OpenSCAD, use translate([..]) if needed to have it placed on the z=0 plane and then use the inset_bottom() module to inset its first layer(s).


// Usage
inset_bottom(w=0.5, h=0.4) {
test_ring();
}
