3d printer required, of course. This model is meant to be printed 8 times, to create a 580mm circular frame with 296 pegs.
The intent is to reduce time and cost when creating a frame for Jenny Ma computer rendered thread portraits.

Ooooo sick! Dunno much about how it's generated, but is there a script folks can use to customize diameter/nail count?

it was made in tinkercad, and you could modify the size and peg count from there. https://www.tinkercad.com/things/kqhH5c67InC if you have a 3d printer, you would export the project as a .stl file, and import it in the "slicer" program that supports your printer. That would generate a gcode file that would tell the printer how to make the model.
