parametric texture plates / rubbing plates

Parametric Rubbing Plates for Sketchers & Product Designers I made these during my studies because I kept losing time hand-drawing textures. So I just printed the texture instead. Place the plate under your paper, grab a pencil, and rub. You instantly get a repeating surface pattern that would take minutes to draw by hand. How it works infinite patterns in your slicer Each plate is made from two parts in your slicer : a frame and an infill body. You set the texture entirely in the slicer — no need to touch the model itself. click the inner body, go to Object Settings → Strength → Infill Pattern & Infill Density. Pick a pattern, set your density, and slice. One important thing: print the infill body without a top layer — that's what exposes the texture. Check the result in Preview before printing.
