Start making your own music. This generator allows you to create modern, perfectly balanced rhythm claves (percussion sticks). Instead of basic wooden dowels, you can now print them in various modern shapes that fit comfortably in your hands. The built-in flat spot ensures you can print them horizontally without supports, which is crucial for strength and creating that sharp, cutting "tock" sound when struck together.

### Behind the Design (For Makers & Moderators)

This is a fully parametric OpenSCAD tool, not a simple primitive shape extrusion. The algorithm calculates dynamic tapers and polygonal structural profiles (hexagon, rounded square), and utilizes precise mathematical boolean subtractions to generate an optimal anti-roll flat spot across the Z-axis. This ensures perfect horizontal bed adhesion without supports, guaranteeing maximum layer adhesion along the impact axis for acoustic resonance.

### What can you customize?

- Four styles: classic round, rounded square, hexagon (great for grip) or a traditional tapered look.

- Dimensions: scale the length and thickness to fit your hands or your printer bed.

- Flat spot control: adjust how much of the bottom is cut off, keeping the clave stable on the build plate.

### Print settings

- Orientation: always print horizontally, lying flat on the bed (vertical prints snap along layer lines).

- Material: PLA, PETG or ASA/ABS. PETG recommended (absorbs impact shock better).

- Infill: 100% solid for a loud, resonant sound.

- Walls: 4 to 6 walls for extreme impact resistance.

- Support: 100% support-free thanks to the generated flat spot.
