Julia Fractal Diamond

WARNING: This model has issues when sliced in vase-mode. Additionally, it features unsupported overhangs that cannot be printed without supports. This vase turned out rather unattractive in Black PLA, but I am posting it because I believe the design concept is intriguing. The model was generated using custom code written in Python, imported into Inkscape and converted to SVG, then imported into OpenSCAD before being rendered into a vase shape. The model represents an intersection of the Julia fractal below and its mirror image. The Julia equation used is expressed as follows: z -> z^6 + 0.700 - 0.03*i Iteration limits are imposed by: Re[z^2 + 0.7 - 0.03*i]^2 < 4
