Unique Decorated Boxes (openscad)

thingiverse

In contrast to traditional molding, 3D printing allows for the creation of distinctive objects each time. This feature is made possible by using loops, random numbers, recursion and parametric modeling in 3D generation processes. A prime example is an OpenSCAD script that generates a unique box with a lid every time it's run; this box can also be scaled and modified to increase face numbers for more spherical squared spheres. With the addition of two hinges, the lid remains in place. An updated version of the OpenSCAD source is available on GitHub, which includes a shell script that generates an infinite number of unique boxes. This innovative approach even earned a spot as a participant at Maker Faire Rome's 3D printing contest!
