Snowflake growth simulation in OpenSCAD

cults3d

This is an OpenSCAD implementation of the Reiter cellular automaton algorithm designed for simulating snowflake formation through randomized processes. You can easily customize numerous parameters, allowing you to re-run and generate unique snowflakes with a simple change in the random seed value. The simulation also includes three methods for extending the flake into the third dimension: variable thickness based on ice density within the simulation, constant thickness throughout, or superimposing a 3D star-like profile. When printing your snowflake design, be sure to remove it carefully from the bed using a razor to avoid any potential damage.
