Like thing:4694209 this is derived originally from 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 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.

I have also implemented this in CascadeStudio which (unlike this OpenSCAD model) both renders practically instantaneously and produces manifold models. I strongly recommend using the CascadeStudio version!
