Customizable Sloped Curve Generator

Like [thing:4694209](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4694209) this is derived originally from [thing:50249](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:50249). However, this version is appropriate for making molds, by allowing you to set a non-zero angle for the side walls. You set the thickness of the base, and the [draft angle](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_(engineering)) of the side. If you set too large a draft angle for the base and height you choose, you'll end up with an impossible shape. rhodonea-5-7-2.2-18.stl is an example with the following parameters: ``` a = 5; b = 7; points = 2000; rose_thickness = 3; draft_angle = 2.2; rose_height = 18; rose_radius = 30; ``` Note that this creates non-manifold models that need repair. I have not found a way to resolve this in OpenSCAD. Some slicers can handle it, many can't. It may be possible to repair with meshlab.
