Model Overview & Print Notes

Summary

Extruded fractal flake prototype.

A predecessor to the fractal flake vase I made some years ago. The basic shape and parametric model is almost the same: A variation of the Koch-curve with hexagons, which changes in rotation and fractal-depth along the extruded direction.

The geometry was created using Rhino3D and Grasshopper.
