pinshape

Summary Cube Which Turns Through 90 Degrees Up Its Height. Printer Settings: Printer Vector3; Rafts No; Supports No; Resolution 0.2mm; Infill 20% How I Designed This Design. This Comes From The Code I Give To My Students To Help Them Develop 3-D Graphics. Part Of This Code Creates A Base Cube And Then Several Other Classes Apply Different Distortions On The Cube. In This Case, The Vertices Of The Cube Are Twisted By An Increasing Amount As You Move Up The Cube. As This Goes From 0 Degrees At The Bottom To 90 At The Top, Each Side Sort Of Replaces Its Neighbor. Several Nice Touches Were Added. Firstly, The Facets Of The Underlying Triangles Catch The Light Both In The Real World Model And In The Graphics. This Means I Got The Lighting Model Right In My Code! Secondly, If Held To The Light Correctly, The Model Casts A Circular Shadow. As Well As Being A Nice Solid Model If Printed As Is, It Makes An Effective Vase If Scaled Along Its Height And Printed In Vase Mode.
