*sta
thingiverse
After seeing Allan's "*sta" post on the Thingiverse blog[1], I couldn't help but actually make the "star-sta" a reality. This is technically a derivative of yzorg's Gangsta[2], but since I haven't actually printed it, I don't feel right clicking "I Made One". Thanks to tbuser for his 2D to 3D tutorial[3] which has the right pstoedit voodoo required to export things sanely from Inkscape to OpenSCAD. Thanks to Inkscape for having a Star tool. Thanks to MCAD for the oval generation code.[4] Thanks to OpenSCAD for making ridiculous things like this possible. Thanks to cibomahto for creating this mash-up madness.

Scale. Skein. 'sta. If you'd like to tweak the model, you'll also need the gangsta.stl from yzorg's Gangsta (linked above), then: 'SCAD. Scale. Skein. 'sta.
