Sixfold Koch Type Fractals

thingiverse

This Koch fractal-based decoration utilizes a basic motif consisting of five interconnected lines (depicted by red figure). Through successive iterations, each line is substituted with the same motif; however, note that two triangles are lost in this process due to overlap. Following one or more iterations, the resulting fractal is expanded via sixfold rotation for decoration purposes. Five STL files are provided: 'basic_motif.stl', 'motif_iterated_once.stl', 'Six_fold_fractal_1.stl', 'Six_fold_fractal_2.stl', and 'Six_fold_fractal_3.stl'. Additionally, the openSCAD code 'koch_sixfold.scad' is included, enabling two more cycles of iteration. However, note that these advanced fractals may be challenging to print. The code offers partial parametric customization, allowing adjustment of rectangle dimensions replacing lines within motif. Printing with or without a raft is also an option.
