PotteryFactory

Need a waste bin for your desktop? An outer pot for your plant? A lamp shade? A bowl? A plate? A bin for the bathroom to keep the cotton pads in? With PotteryFactory you can create all this and much more!

You can basically generate cylindrical or cone-shaped vessels with nice lace patterns. The lace patterns can be circles, squares, rhombuses or hearts. You can change the diameters of the vessel, its height, wall- and bottom thickness as well as the dimensions of the lace patterns. Play around and find out, how many different things you can create with just this one file!

But be warned: Depending on your settings, you can create Objects that take a HUGE amount of resources and time to render. Especially the "heart" pattern is very resource-consuming, see also below.

Enhancement:
You can now set the vertical and the horizontal min gap independently of each other, giving you even more possibilities to make nice vessels!

Bugfixes:
x No more holes in the bottom: if you set box size and / or min gap too big for the overall vessel size, you end up with a solid vessel instead of one with strange holes in the bottom. In this case, a warning is echoed.
x The width of the support structure in the heart pattern did scale up with the box_size which would make it way too big for bigger box sizes. Added new parameter heart_support_width with an initial value of 0.5 mm. You can increase this for bigger vessels / hearts.
x Floor thickness was calculated wrong, floor got too thick
x vertical placement of the lowest holes fixed, they were placed the amount of 'min_gap' too far up
