This is an ongoing experiment to see if I can discourage the wasps from building nests in various nooks and crannies around my property. I have used other designs in the past and they seemed to have worked. So I have created my own design.
I suggest turning on the "make overhangs printable" setting if you are printing a version with ripples. I also find the "fuzzy skin" setting in Orca to be a good choice for this print. It increases the print time quite a bit, but the result is better looking, IMO.
There are several configurable settings in the .scad file, but in all honesty, only a few are useful.
**nest_height** - overall height of the nest. The diameter will be 75% of this value
**nest_bulge_location** - some control of the shape. 0 is in the center of the height vertically. < 0 moves the bulge down as a percentage. I like -0.2. >0 will cause the bulge to move above center.
**ripple_amp** - Height of the ripples on the side. 0 turns the ripples off. I think anything over .01 is
