OpenSCAD Bezier Vase

thingiverse

I watched a video by Coding Train and was inspired to write some code to figure out how to generate bezier curves in OpenSCAD. That went well, so I also figured out how to rotate multiple instances of the curve to generate a neat vase. The shape of the vase can be manipulated by changing the points themselves, or by changing the rotations/resolution, or by changing the way each point connects to other points. I apologize in advance to anyone who actually looks at my code. It makes sense to me so I don't bother cleaning it up. I recommend reading the comments that I left, and observing how the code collapses, I use that to organize things a bit. Other than that, just read through it, I'm sure you'll be able to make sense of it quickly enough. I included 2 example STLs. They're both generated with the p1 set of points, but the way I connect the points together is different between the two, resulting in very different and interesting shapes. I hope at least someone finds this interesting. If you make/print your own please be sure to post your make, I'd love to see it! *A note on print settings*: Obviously since this is customizable, there's no one set of settings that will work. The ones I give below are for the pictures of the actual print, but that was from a different set of points than the ones included in the .scad or STL files I uploaded here. Just use common sense. These have a *lot* of retractions, make sure your settings are dialed for those.
