The Ultimate Parametric Ripple Desk Organiser

The Perfect Blend of Aesthetics and Utility.

This is a high-performance, fully parametric storage bin designed in OpenSCAD. It features a stunning "Ripple" or "Fluted" exterior texture that adds a premium feel to any desktop, workshop, or kitchen drawer. Unlike static models, every dimension—from the number of internal compartments to the density of the ripples—is completely adjustable.

✨ Highlighted Features

• 🌊 Dynamic Ripple Texture: Customize the size and overlap of the exterior ripples to create everything from subtle waves to bold architectural ridges.
• 📂 Smart Dividers: Need one big bin? Or 10 tiny slots? Simply change the compartment_count. The internal dividers automatically rescale to fit the interior perfectly.
• 📐 Nesting Support (Tapered Walls): Set the taper_angle to anything above 0 to create stackable bins that nest inside one another for easy storage.
• 📏 Any Size, Any Shape: Whether you need a long pencil tray or a tiny SD card holder, just input your desired Width, Depth, and Height.

🔧 How to Customize

1. Dimensions: Set your width, depth, and height.
2. Corner Radius: Adjust corner_radius for a sharp modern look or a soft, pillowy aesthetic.
3. Ripple Design: Use ripple_radius for the size of the waves and ripple_density to control how tightly they "merge."
4. Compartments: Slide compartment_count to add vertical dividers instantly.

🖨️ Print Recommendations

• Supports: None. This model is designed with 3D printing in mind. Even with tapered walls, the angles are within safe printing limits.
• Walls/Perimeters: 3–4 walls recommended to make the ripples feel solid and high-quality.
• Layer Height: 0.2mm works great, but 0.16mm really makes the vertical ripple texture pop.
• Material: PLA for beautiful colors/silk finish, or PETG for durability.

There could be slight holes generated if the ripple radius and ripple density don't align properly, so just play around by increasing of decreasing both ripple radius and ripple density.
