I made a more sophisticated simulation of an ocean wave:

However, it was too complicated and did not work in pratice.
Here is the simple version, that works!
Note: You must adjust X-Y hole compensation and X-Y contour compensation as shown in the picture, even more if you wish to connect the pieces easily but not as firm. This is for my Creality K1C printer.
There are two model files for printing. One is for the first section and also includes a tool to make it easier to put the model together. The other is with two sections, that can be inserted to extend the model with additional sections.
The third model file is for visual inspection only.
I have made a video of 16 sections combined, where each next wavepoint is 22.5 degrees delayed (one tooth on the gear wheel) to make it cover one wavelength. I have added a rubber band brake to keep the gear wheels in close contact and hold the wave form together.
Everything clicks together without glue or anything. It's not so difficult once you find out in which order to connect the pieces, and how to syncronize the sections. You might even enjoy doing it ...
