3D Printable Oseberg Tablets
There's a historical tablet weaving group on facebook, and I noticed in their files an interesting paper describing the physical dimensions of the tablets found in the Oseberg ship burial.
I decided to produce a 3d render of the tablets from this blueprint.
I've uploaded the model to Thingiverse. The scale is 1 unit = 1 millimeter.
I used OpenJSCAD to do the 3d modeling. It's a Javascript implementation of the OpenSCAD system where you build a 3d model by writing code. This is probably a terrible way for most people to do 3d modeling, but for this kind of simple geometric object, and for me, a software engineer, it's pretty great. OpenSCAD is a terrible language, and while I have issues with Javascript, it's functional. Plus, openjscad.org runs in your browser, so you don't have to download anything.
This is the code I used to build the tablet. If you want to modify it, feel free.
Because someone asked for it, here's a .dxf file of the 2d view of the tablet. Probably useful if you want to laser cut them or something.
Let me know if you make these!
