3D printed, 1/35 corrugator
Frank3k:
New batch of corrugators, with denser infill, so they're heavier and tougher. 1/35 and 1/72:
The 1/72 is OK. Using a pencil (and fingernail) on the craft aluminum and on only the lower L shaped corrugator section, I got a pretty good approximation. I used the top corrugator to refine the shape and got this:
Jeff asked me to make some in 1/48 scale. I'll try that this week.

I have just twigged at what you have made, it's a tool to make scaled corrugated sheet out of foil ------ :-X
Have you tried 'Q-Decking', used in most building construction either as a stand alone roof, or as a permanent form for concrete floors. Could also be used to make Sea-Cans
Frank3k:
Q-Decking is next; it was my original plan since I wanted to replicate the pattern on the side of 40' containers, since it's similar (if not identical) and got sidetracked.
kitnut617:
The channels are wider than the corrugations you've done ;)
With a few tiny holes drilled into the bottom of a corrugation, your tool could become a vacuform form ---- ;)
Frank3k:
I went down the rabbit hole looking for the right dimensions, said screw it and went for the corrugated material which was harder to print but easier to find dimensions for.
