# Tidal Fold

Inspired by Iana Kochu’s *Tidal Oval*. The painting’s vermilion stroke becomes a curved opening. Raised folds wrap around the opening and fade into a broad, flat foot.

## Print

`sculpture.stl` is a single closed mesh, 93.02 × 36.59 × 140.54 mm. Import at 100% in millimetres and leave it upright on the flat foot at Z=0. Start with a brim for adhesion and use removable supports at the upper edge of the opening and the adjacent front fold. At a 45° overhang threshold, the steep faces above the bed are concentrated between Z=109 and 128 mm. Check the support and bridging in the slicer preview for your printer. The mesh was checked digitally and has yet to be physically printed.

## Regenerate

Run `python3 generate.py` from this directory. The script uses the Python standard library and writes `sculpture.stl` alongside itself.
