Description

Golden Snowflake using logarithmic spirals.

It's built up of a bunch of cylinders incrementally translated along a curve defined by equations I found on Wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_spiral

I used the second polar equation.

r = a exp(b theta) I looped over theta and solved for a bunch of r's
x = r cos(theta)
y = r sin(theta)

It may be beyond what BlocksCAD looks to be capable of, but a way to extrude from a path defined by an equation would be an nice additional tool.
