I recently discovered the 100Hex project by tecnoloxia_org and decided I would challenge myself to add a load of hex designs. These have all been created in OpenSCAD so I've also created a customizable version. If the customizer isn't working today, check out the guide for using OpenSCAD to customize this and other things.

A load of these patterns are taken from my Customizable Fan Grill Covers

This could be considered work-in-progress as I'll continue to add patterns/features over the next few weeks/months.

A few ideas for displaying the hexs:

Use a wall frame
Box Lid
Coasters
Glue it to some card or a surface
kakiemon has created an awesome Belt designer using the patterns!

Note: Some of the hexes in the first two images, and everything from the third image is from other creators. Check the credit section for more info.

Features

Loads of customizable patterns
Add Text (Can increase height for filament change at layer height)
Import .SVG files (only if using OpenSCAD)
Add a base (perfect if using this wall frame) or for creating a hex without a outer ring/frame.
Different frame options (change the inside shape)

How to customize‌‌ in OpenSCAD

Download OpenSCAD from here and install it - https://openscad.org/downloads.html
Download the .SCAD file and open it
Click WINDOW, then untick Hide Customizer
Optional: Click Window, then tick Hide Editor
Customize the settings. After changing a setting, you may need to press enter to confirm the change. Some changes (like adding text) will take a while for the preview to appear. Please be patient.
Click Design > Render and wait for the design to render
Click File > Export > Export to STL
Save the file and slice it like any other .STL file

Credit

Some of the hexes in the first images are from other creators:

Some (mountains, city, crack) are from the original 100Hex, I believe they were all made by tecnoloxia_org
100hex portal by 2CoB9
100Hex Twirl by xurxoarines
100 Hex Single Lightbulb (edge) by minching

I've used some other assets for a few hexes:

I've used images from:
