Alluvial Crush (Tealight holder – Reaction-Diffusion spirals) #3DThursday #3DPrinting

voidbubble shared this project on Thingiverse!

Meandering sigils inscribe a lore of inexorable beauty.

This tealight holder features a pattern generated from a reaction-diffusion simulation using the Gray-Scott model. A subtle overlay of small-scale noise gives the surface a grainy texture.

Two versions are provided: a regular model with a thin wall and a model meant to be printed in vase mode. The latter version has a much shorter printing time, but the overall effect of the texture is less prominent.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
