Experimenting with OpenSCAD - Patterns and Recursions
Here is a video that I made - it shows a recursive code. Basically, by keying in different parameters, you would be able to generate different CAD patterns.
The above is basically a pattern that I am using to generate supports for my fidget spinner:
Fig. 1 - Just three ball bearings
Fig. 2 - How about five ball bearings?
The pattern changes as the number of ball bearings changes - so you can see the complexity of the supports increases with the increase in ball bearings.
Hope you will enjoy this! If there is time, hopefully, I will be able to create a more complex pattern - maybe for a 3D-printed vase or something.
I love this program!
Do you use it yourself?
I have used it, but not for anything useful. I did this:
That looks pretty good to me! I cannot really get around trying to design figurines and all - most of my designs are more mechanical as you can see from my previous posts.
