Here is a video that I made - it shows a recursive code. Basically, by keying in different parameters, you would be able to generate different CAD patterns.


The above is basically a pattern that I am using to generate supports for my fidget spinner:

Supports for Fidget Spinner.JPG
Fig. 1 - Just three ball bearings

5 ball bearing.JPG
Fig. 2 - How about five ball bearings?

The pattern changes as the number of ball bearings changes - so you can see the complexity of the supports increases with the increase in ball bearings.


Hope you will enjoy this! If there is time, hopefully, I will be able to create a more complex pattern - maybe for a 3D-printed vase or something.
