<p>I wanted to see if I could figure out a mathematical function that would yield a tree shape. The scad that I got is by eye; no doubt someone smarter could figure out some coefficients and turn this into a single iterative function.</p><p>Prints best in some kind of PET using spiral vase.<br></p><p>I added a cylinder so there would be something to hang the tree with; it only works at a limited range of sizes.
