Playing around with OpenSCAD with the intent of creating a basic parametric vase using rotating layer patterns.

Mainly exploring OpenSCAD.
The (very basic) attached .scad file provides a vase module which can be used as:
vase(
radius = 30,
sides=11,
thickness=2,
steps = 50,
step_height = 1.2,
twist = 180,
angle = 1.005
); This will use a cylinder with the given radius and a height of step_height. The total vase height will be step_height * steps and the layers will twist through a total of twist degrees from the bottom to the top of the vase. You can adjust the smoothness/chunkiness of the vase by changing sides, 3 being a triangle and 12 being a dodecahedron. The thickness is an attempt at wall thickness, though it's not a good measure in this early version. Finally the angle is the scaling to apply per layer, values above 1 mean the vase widens as it increases in height, while a value under 1 will allow you to make a vase which narrows.
Personally I find setting sides to be a prime number more visually appealing.
The photo attached is off a print based on the example settings above with a fuzzy skin applied. You can view this in the uploaded .3mf file, or directly using the upoaded *.gcode file.
