So, I’m making a fully customizable calendar in OpenSCAD with the following features:
- correct columns for every date - uses an algorithm to calculate the correct day of the week for any date, you just change the year and the calendar is correct
- fully translatable
- supports custom holidays
- supports both MMU/AMS and single extruder (with the help of M600 or similar)
Planned features:
- configurable holes for magnets or holes for hanging the calendar
- configurable first day of the week
I can share the SCAD file, though beware it’s a work in progress and I haven’t test printed it yet.

This looks great! I love OpenSCAD, and this is a pretty feature-rich usage.
Are you planning to print it for regular use as a calendar, or is there another use case you had in mind?

Just a calendar to hang on the fridge. To be fair, my main reason for doing it was to see if it’s possible. Do you have any other use cases in mind?

I was mainly curious as to whether this was mostly a fun exercise, or if there were a practical advantage to having the calendar printed in 3D. Cool either way.
