You can make any shape of pottery rib that you want. Seven example ribs are provided in file names “rib 1” through “rib 7”. I printed using PLA and the default settings in PrusaSlicer for 0.2 layer height with "Generate support material:" enabled and Snug 0.1.
To make your own shape of pottery rib follow these instructions using InkScape and OpenSCAD.
- find a rib shape that is closest to the shape you want
- Open the *.svg file for that shape in InkScape
- Edit the file in InkScape by moving/adding/deleting the paths and nodes
- Save to a new file name such as “rib mine.svg”
- Use a 2025 version of OpenSCAD. Open the “pottery ribs.scad” file
- Make sure that the roof() function is enabled in Edit/Preferences/Features.
- Edit the file name on line 9 to match your “rib mine.svg”. Hit F5
- Edit the name text string on line 40 to your personal name, Hit F5
- Edit the x/y location on line 42 to move your name to a nice location. Hit F5
- Edit the x/y location on line 44 to move the finger hole to a nice location. Hit F5
- When you like how it looks, hit F6, then F7. Save the stl file to a file name you like.
- Print using PLA and with snug supports at 0.1.
I would like to see what shape of rib you create.
