Rows of overlapping fans of concentric arcs. About this design The classic Japanese seigaiha: rows of overlapping fans about 13 mm wide, each made of four concentric arcs pressed in as fine lines, every row tucked in half a fan over the one below, like calm waves on the sea. Roll it into porcelain or stoneware slabs for mugs, sake cups, plates and trays, or into polymer clay for earrings and pendants with a Japanese feel. Made with our free texture roller tool in its Rolling pin style, not modelled by hand: we drew the pattern in code as a seamless picture, uploaded it, and set a sleeve 40 mm across and 100 mm long, the pattern raised 1.5 mm and repeated three times round and twice along. The tool prints the sleeve 1 mm shorter, 99 mm, so a printed sleeve turns freely between the handles. The zip holds the texture sleeve and the tool's current two rolling-pin handles, as two STL files, plus the pattern picture, so you can remake the sleeve at another diameter or depth. Every sleeve made for the current handles slides onto the same two handles: the core, 194 mm long overall, a handle with a 27 mm tube, and a cap that locks on with a quarter turn. Print the handles once, and after that only sleeves. The first picture is a 3D render of this sleeve on the clay it has pressed. The two photos are our own test print of the rolling-pin system from the texture roller tool, with a hearts sleeve: put together, and as its three parts. Made with Meshcast Meshcast is a free toolkit for makers that runs in your browser: turn any 3D model into a candle, soap, concrete or silicone mold, or make your own cookie cutters, texture rollers, stamps and keychains. Nothing to install, and you can try every tool without an account.

The pictures are rendered in Blender. We use AI to assist our work (ideas, writing and checking), so this design carries Thingiverse's AI label to be on the safe side. Selling what you make?

Every part prints standing on its end, no supports. What you need About 113 g of PLA or PETG for the sleeve and both handles (about 41 g for a sleeve alone) Something to texture: stoneware, earthenware or porcelain slabs, or air-dry or polymer clay A printer that can print 199 mm tall: the core handle stands 194 mm on the bed A little cornstarch, or a water spray for pottery clay, if it starts to stick Steps Print the sleeve and both handles standing on their ends, as exported, no supports. A 5 mm brim keeps the tall core steady. Slide the sleeve over the core's tube, push the cap on with its slots over the two lugs and turn it a quarter turn to lock. Roll the clay to an even thickness first: 5 to 8 mm for pottery slabs, 2 to 3 mm for jewellery and ornaments. Roll across once, in one direction, with steady, even pressure, and lift off at the end. Going back and forth doubles the pattern. Turn the cap back to swap to another sleeve from the set, and wash the sleeve in warm soapy water after use.
