vasestl

An application for converting a 3D mathematical equation into an STL surface. Great for generating geometric shapes to print as vases, vessels or pots!

Usage

Note

See the examples directory for samples of r functions and constants to use as per the instructions below!

In main.rs, update the r function to define the shape you wish to model. The function is in polar co-ordinates: it receives an angle (radians; between 0 and 2π) and a z-height (between 0 and 1) and outputs a radius. For example, to define a cylinder of radius 20:
```
fn r(t: f32, z: f32) -> f32 {
    20
}
```
Near the top of main.rs, update the constants to define your parameters:
- Rotational resolution
- Height resolution
- Total height
- File output location
Run it
```
cargo run --release
```
Output is stored in out/output.stl by default.
Print the resulting STL file. Use vase mode in the slicer!
