OpenSCAD code for generating snap-together Barth Sextics
The main file for this repo is sextic_lamp.scad
(hopefully this is unsurprising). Render takes a while, perhaps 20-40 minutes, depending on options and whatnot.
The main sextic_lamp.scad
uses parameter files, such as parameters_electronics_tpu.scad
. I surely used poor form in my code, often using global variables with impunity. I welcome your contributions should you find this irksome.
These models are moderately difficult to print, having a lot of overhand right at the bottom, and thin walls. Your printed will struggle, and so will you. Don't give up.
Both PLA and TPU are suitable for these models, and I've developed parameter sets for different materials. Your mileage will vary.
