    I have no clue. I’m a total newb just looking for a way to cut time on these centerpieces. What’s fair in this world? Haha

    @curious aardvark, without giving away your valuable secrets, can you tell me what approach you used to create the shape? I can't see an easy way to make it parametric using primitives. I suspect you've accumulated a series of vertices, then generated the faces. If that's correct, is it parametric?

    I'd like to understand, for example, how one could generate the base square parametrically with the appropriate point locations, then "elevate and rotate" the points for the next layer and the next, and then generate the faces. If that's not how you did it, do you think this method is valid?

    I’m not sure how he mastered this in the 3D software - couldn’t for the life of me. But when I created my original mold I just drew out the angles on a large piece of cardstock paper then used a straight edge blade to perforate (not cut) the lines, then it was easily folded into the shape you see in pic number 3 and taped up.

    Something like this?

    I've put an STL here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vPO...ew?usp=sharing

    This only took a couple of minutes to design in OpenSCAD.

    This looks fantastic! I am having trouble accessing the file on Google Drive so I sent a request from griftwin gmail account. Thanks!

    Do you have OpenSCAD? I can send you the script. It is set up so that you can use it with the customizer to change the width and height of the object.

    Is your code a state secret too? Something I can view and be illuminated?
