Randomized art tiles (generator)

Use this tool to generate random abstract artwork. Prints best with multicolour filiament, AMS, or swapping colours at certain layers. Sample prints were printed using Eryone Hyper Speed Rock PLA, Eryone Silk Rainbow, and Polymaker PolyLite Crown Silver dual-color PLA. Requires OpenSCAD nightly.

Parameters

• frameShape: Shape of the overall model.

• shape: Shape of the randomized pieces making up the model. Note that Spikes cannot be previewed, as there is a bug that fails to properly display polyhedron()s when intersection()s or difference()s are involved. They must be rendered to view properly, and are the most computationally expensive.

• size: Size of the model in both X and Y dimensions. Note that increasing this beyond about 80 will massively increase complexity and compute time.

• baseThiccness: How much of a solid base/back the model should have.

• depth: The difference in Z-height between the largest and smallest randomized pieces. Note that this works somewhat counter-intuitively for the Round shapes.

• density: How many randomized pieces there should be, on a scale from 1 (hardly any) to 5(filled with shapes). Note that increasing density exponentially increases compute time, especially on larger models.

• randomness: How random the dimensions of the randomized pieces should be, on a scale from 1 (essentially a grid) to 10 (mess my stuff up fam).
