Summary

Hi there,here is another 3D Fractal. It's pretty hard to grasp the shape on one ortwo photos. Have a look at the .stl file to get a real feeling for the shape.To me it looks something organic forming an alien shape. Fractals seem tome like Rohrschach tests, everybody can see something different in them,like in the ink blobs.

Design

The Fractal is made with - Mandelbulb 3Dget this fascinating piece of opensource software at: https://www.mandelbulb.com/

Julius Horsthuis, Hal Tenny and Don Whitaker have many good Tutorials(Video & Blog) to get started with Mandelbulb.

-This fractal is based on the "Octokoch" formula. I've added the formulaParameters, you can download them and tinker around yourself.

It is exported with "BTracer" as .obj with a volumetric resolution of600 x 600 x 600, this is so high because only this way you get reallysharp edges. Postprocess The postprocess is done with Meshmixer and Blender. Meshmixer: Scale the model to the size you like Add a horizontal plane cut to have a plane surface for printing

ONLY

Reduce at least by 50% The last tep is optional, but I like to do it. Toreduce the Triangle count and smooth ot the surface I take the modelto Blender. Use the decimate modifier to get the triangle count further down. Forsome reason sharp edges get preserved better in Blender whenreducing the amount of triangels drastically. At least I llike the resultsin Blender much more. If you dare you can use the smooth modifier,but be really careful with the parameters. Finally export your modeland sclice it. That's it. Leave me some feedback and please post yourmakes.
