This is created from my honeycomb library in response to a query about whether it could be used to create a cylindrical press. You would use this to create wax comb foundation for beekeeping.

This is imperfect, untested, and should be considered a draft thing.

The roller should interlock with itself - by flipping it and rotating a half unit angle. I haven't added gearing, etc to keep two rollers in sync though - over to you, community. I look forward to your remixes!

If you grab the OpenSCAD files, you can change the width, number of repeats around the diameter, etc. I haven't rigged it for Customiser yet though. To build from OpenSCAD, you will need my honeycomb library from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4025172 .

EDIT 1: Updated STL after fixed cell shape in the underlying honeycomb library.
