Text to Snowflake Generator

myminifactory

Enter some text, get your personalized snowflake. You have two text fields, the main one and the additional rotated 30 degrees relative to each other. The text you enter is mirrored vertically and rotated six times around its first letter. You can change the offset of the mirrored parts so that they are closer or further apart. If you're looking for some great fonts, visit http://fonts.google.com. The idea behind this is pretty simple. I was searching for ways to generate a snowflake and stumbled upon this website: https://thebookofeveryone.com/specials/make-your-snowflake. It generates a snowflake from any text you enter but for me it wasn't customizable enough. You can't get a high-resolution picture of it either, so I decided to make a script that does pretty much the same thing. The script is quite basic. It's actually my first time making something in OpenSCAD. You can use the script itself or use the Customizer on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2702278.
