Parameterized cable tidy via Turtle Commands

thingiverse

Constructing irregular polygons can be achieved using computer-generated solid (CSG) operations, or even by determining the absolute coordinates of the vertices that outline them. A further alternative is to employ relative 'turtle graphics' instructions to navigate around the boundary and then translate these movements into a polygon and hence into a three-dimensional object. The demonstrations feature designs for cable tidying systems. The initial one utilizes a single polygon, while the second combines two connected polygons to create a more effective design. It also employs a simplified turtle language, which is faster to compose. Code makes use of let() and concat() functions, thus it remains incompatible with the customizer. This method is generalized for any two-dimensional shape. Consult my blog at http://kitwallace.tumblr.com/post/114490020854/irregular-shapes-via-turtle-graphics
