Idea
While browsing the turtle2d examples included with the dotSCAD library, I came across the Sierpinski pyramid example. Instead of using it as a mathematical demonstration, I wondered whether the structure could be used as a practical object. The first idea was a complete three-dimensional Sierpinski pyramid. At a size of about 10 cm, however, the estimated print time was around eight hours. The solution was much simpler: use the two-dimensional fractal pattern and extrude it into a solid object. The result is a lightweight decorative tray suitable for rings, earrings, pendants or other small items.
Why Examples Matter
Many OpenSCAD libraries contain example files that are worth exploring. Small modifications of existing examples can often lead to entirely new objects. This model started as a standard example from the dotSCAD library. By changing the orientation and intended use, a mathematical fractal became a decorative object.
You do not always need to start from a blank page. Browsing examples is often a great source of inspiration.
