Vase STL generator

thingiverse

The Excel generator contains macros that generate STL files for vases based on user-defined parameters. Key features include: Model dimensions such as height, width and depth are fully adjustable, including elliptical shapes. Multiple layers can be specified to create the vase, allowing for intricate designs. Each layer's position is precisely controlled by adjusting the number of points in its cross-section. The rotation of each layer can be customized with advanced options like continuous or oscillating motion. Z-profile settings encompass a range of vase styles: Straight vases offer a sleek and minimalist look. Conical vases feature sloping profiles that can be either inward or outward-facing, with adjustable top and base sizes. Bulging vases showcase a unique shape with variable degrees of curvature and positioning. In V2, additional features are introduced: Sides with wavy patterns can be created by specifying the number of half-waves and whether they start inward or outward. V3 builds upon these capabilities by introducing new options: Stellation: alternate points on the vase's surface can be adjusted to create star-like shapes. Tetrahedral faces allow users to transform triangles into tetrahedrons, with positive values creating outward-facing points and negative values creating inward-facing points.
