Fractal Christmas Tree (Kochmas Tree)

The model is made by extruding and twisting the Koch Snowflake into a Christmas Tree. This is the same fractal construction used in the Fractal candy dish.

Vase mode is recommended. Can be lit with a tea light when printed in vase mode with no bottom.

The number of recursions for the Koch Snowflake can be modified. For a 50-150mm tall tree, three iterations seems to work well, but for larger trees additional iterations may be nice.

The tree itself is highly parameterizable using the SolidPython file. The parameters are explained in the function header:

def kochmasTree(
    diameter=100,       # Diameter of tree at widest point
    height=150,         # Total height of tree
    top_twist=180,      # Rotation in top part of tree
    base_diameter=50,   # Diameter of base Koch snowflake
    base_height=25,     # Height of tree base
    base_twist=0,       # Twist of tree base
    top_slices=100,     # Slices of top of tree extrusion
    base_slices=2,      # Slices of base extrusion
    koch_iterations=3,  # iterations of Koch Snowflake
