Hexagonal Mesh (Continuous)
Honeycomb-style hex pattern drawn as continuous zigzag columns. Unlike discrete hex cells, this generator traces each column from top to bottom as a single polyline, which keeps travel moves to a minimum.
Parameters
Hexagonal Mesh parameters
Width- Pattern width in mm. Range 10–300, step 10, default 100.
Height- Pattern height in mm. Range 10–300, step 10, default 100.
Cell Size- Size of an individual hex cell in mm. Range 2–50, default 10. Controls how dense the honeycomb pattern is — smaller cells = finer honeycomb, larger cells = bolder geometry.
The generator is continuous per column — each vertical column is a single polyline that zigzags through the honeycomb structure. Columns are offset from each other to form the classic hexagonal tessellation.
Typical use
- Honeycomb panels — decorative wall tiles, light diffusers, acoustic panels.
- Base layer for patterns — the zigzag columns give a strong visual structure that other filters can distort subtly.
- Low-travel prints — columns are continuous, so each column uses a single extrusion with no internal travel.
