# crystal_ball
|
|
|
|
Uses spherical coordinate system to create a crystal ball.

![Spherical coordinates (r, θ, φ) often used in mathematics](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dc/3D_Spherical_2.svg)
|
|
|
|
## Parameters
|
|
|
|
- `radius` : The radial distance r.
|
|
- `theta` : The azimuthal angle. It defaults to 360. It also accepts a 2 element vector. The first element of the vector is the beginning angle in degrees, and the second element is the ending angle.
|
|
- `phi` : The polar angle. It defaults to 180. It also accepts a 2 element vector. The first element of the vector is the beginning angle in degrees, and the second element is the ending angle.
|
|
- `thickness` : The thickness of the ball. **Since:** 2.1
|
|
- `$fa`, `$fs`, `$fn` : Check [the circle module](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Using_the_2D_Subsystem#circle) or [the sphere module](https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/Primitive_Solids#sphere) for more details. The final fragments will be a multiple of 4 to fit edges.

## Examples
|
|
|
|
use <crystal_ball.scad>
|
|
|
|
crystal_ball(radius = 6);
|
|
|
|
translate([12, 0, 0])
|
|
crystal_ball(
|
|
radius = 6,
|
|
theta = 270,
|
|
thickness = 1,
|
|
$fn = 12
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
translate([24, 0, 0])
|
|
crystal_ball(
|
|
radius = 6,
|
|
theta = 270,
|
|
phi = 90,
|
|
$fn = 12
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
translate([36, 0, 0])
|
|
crystal_ball(
|
|
radius = 6,
|
|
theta = [-30, 270],
|
|
phi = [30, 60],
|
|
thickness = 2
|
|
);
