Prismatic, twisted parametric spiral vase

<p>Can you believe that this is less than ten twenty lines of code? Printing it is as fun as tinkering with parameters!</p><p>Actualy this one can be written in just two lines:</p><p><code>for(i=[0:20:360]) rotate(i) translate([10, 0]) linear_extrude(height=100, center=false, scale=[4.5, 1.5], twist=90) translate([10, 0]) square([4.5, 13.5], center=true);</code></p><p><code>cylinder(r=20,h=1);</code></p><p>(and the second line is just for it to have a solid bottom), but all the parameters have ben of course extracted to variables in attached <code>scad</code> file (-:</p><p>I added some examples:</p><ul><li><code>smooooth</code> is a result of setting <code>smooooth=200</code>, which makes it less low-poly looking, but avoids steep overhangs inside,&nbsp;</li><li><code>even-smoooother</code> <code>even-smooootherer</code> are results of more parameter changes (they can be seen on attached screenshots) and changing base shape from square to circle.</li></ul><p>Keep in mind that for some parameter values combinations model is no longer suitable for spiral vase mode, but you can usually still print those in normal mode.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
