Koch Snowflake Vase 1

prusaprinters

<p>A simple vase/tea light (LED only!) or hollow form based on a Koch Snowflake with 3 iterations.</p><h3>Instructions</h3><p>I use these as tea lights with Flicker LEDs from Evil Mad Scientist. See <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:34791">http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:34791</a>.</p><p>To play about with this design, download the following files into the same directory:</p><p>1) 01kVase.scad - the vase.<br>2) koch2D.scad - the code for Koch Snowflakes.<br>3) Koch1.dxf, Koch2.dxf, Koch3.dxf and Koch4.dxf - the actual Snowflakes as DXF files.</p><p>The DXF files contain 2D Koch Snowflakes generated in Wolfram Mathematica. Unfortunately, this site does not support the Mathematica .nb file type. Anyway, here is the Mathematica code:</p><p><code>KochSnowflake3D[i_] := Graphics3D[{</code><br><code>&nbsp; Line[{#[[1]], #[[2]], 0} &amp; /@&nbsp;</code><br><code>&nbsp; &nbsp; RotationTransform[Pi, {1/2, 0}][KochCurve[i][[1]]]],</code><br><code>&nbsp; Line[{#[[1]], #[[2]], 0} &amp; /@&nbsp;</code><br><code>&nbsp; &nbsp; RotationTransform[-Pi/3, {1, 0}][KochCurve[i][[1]]]],&nbsp;</code><br><code>&nbsp; Line[{#[[1]], #[[2]], 0} &amp; /@&nbsp;</code><br><code>&nbsp; &nbsp; RotationTransform[Pi/3, {0, 0}][KochCurve[i][[1]]]]</code><br><code>&nbsp; }]</code></p><p><code>Export[NotebookDirectory[] &lt;&gt; "KochSnowflake1.dxf",&nbsp;</code><br><code>&nbsp;KochSnowflake3D[1]];</code><br><code>Export[NotebookDirectory[] &lt;&gt; "KochSnowflake2.dxf",&nbsp;</code><br><code>&nbsp;KochSnowflake3D[2]];</code><br><code>Export[NotebookDirectory[] &lt;&gt; "KochSnowflake3.dxf",&nbsp;</code><br><code>&nbsp;KochSnowflake3D[3]];</code><br><code>Export[NotebookDirectory[] &lt;&gt; "KochSnowflake4.dxf",&nbsp;</code><br><code>&nbsp;KochSnowflake3D[4]];</code></p><p><code>Manipulate[</code><br><code>KochSnowflake3D[i],</code><br><code>{{i, 1}, {1, 2, 3, 4}}]</code></p><p>&nbsp;</p>
