Tentacle generator

thingiverse

Hey there!\nThis one's a real crowd-pleaser - super easy to configure and yields some seriously cool results.\nJust set your parameters and voila! You've got yourself a stunning tentacled design that'll stick to walls, windows or even fridges with ease using a magnet.\nIt's just a fun decoration element with loads of variations to play around with.\nI've included some STL files from testing - hope you enjoy them!\nHave a blast printing and customizing these bad boys!\nPrint Settings\nPrinter:\n BQ Prusa i3 Hephestos\n \n Rafts:\n Doesn't Matter\n \n Supports:\n No\n \n Resolution:\n 0.2 or less\n \n Infill:\n Doesn't Matter\n \n Notes:\n Tested with PLA at 0.2 resolution - a real breeze to print, no supports needed and infill's not required (though it's a good idea to add some for top layers' sake).\nHint: Print twice, one mirrored, and glue 'em together - you'll end up with a full-volume tentacle that looks amazing when printed big time!\n\n \n \n A note for programmers\nAs a teacher, I use little projects like this to show off the power of recursive algorithms to my students.\nThe Fibonacci sequence just doesn't cut it - this one's where the magic happens.\nFor you programmers out there, feel free to grab this code, modify it or reuse it however you see fit - it's a great starting point for developing your own recursive algorithms.\nCustomizer samples
