Klein bottle sqashed - OpenSCAD by Parkinbot

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Just another Klein bottle. It is composed as a union of a handle and a bottle, each hollowed out by use of a difference operation with a smaller part of similar design. The screen shot shows where inside and outside is swapped.
To give the bottle a unique design I used the magic of my OpenSCAD nSpline library and my OpenSCAD Naca_sweep library (follow the links to learn more about the code)
You can customize the call with different handle radius and can also play with the bottle outside and inside definition to get your own design, but take care to avoid self-intersection of the shapes.
F5 (~10 sec) and F6 (~4 min) are quite fast. Haven't done a print yet. The STL I provided is rendered with a height of 341mm and a skin of 2mm. So it might need some downsizing when printed on a smaller print bed.
