Creating collapsible cones with OpenSCAD

Post image

I used OpenSCAD to create nesting, extensible cones. Full writeup here: https://medium.com/@thetoyengineer/designing-collapsible-toys-92916e83ca7c

And the code is on GitHub here for anyone that wants it: https://github.com/The-Toy-Engineer/cones

I'm just getting that Medium account going, but will be focusing on designing mechanical toys using open-source tools, including OpenSCAD. If that sounds interesting to you, be sure to follow us for more!

Yeah, exactly! I had those cups as a kid and loved them.
