I create a donut which is baked in a very weird way. I chose donuts to model because I was eating donuts when I started to think what to create. Donuts are easy to model but I still need a good idea to modify the shape of donuts.

In the beginning, I used Rhino + Python to randomly modify the control points of perfectly baked donuts according to the ScrewUpRate.

Here are the result:

Low ScrewUpRate

It seems good, but…

At high ScrewUpRate:

:)

So I wisely choose to move the platform from Rhino to OpenSCAD–Rhino is hard to digest for me.

Fortunately, OpenSCAD is beginner friendly, so I continued my journey to screw up donuts.

Here is the perfect donut:

Here is when 0.5 ScrewUpRate is applied:

And here is the complete failure donut:

At this point, I should say I was not trying to make donuts–what I secretly tried is alien ship.

Here is the scratch:

 

module whoScrewedUpMyDonut(screwUpRate)
{
	R = 179;
	G = 97;
	B = 28;
union(){
	color([(1-screwUpRate)*R/255, (1-screwUpRate)*G/255, (1-screwUpRate)*B/255]){
	
		rotate_extrude(convexity = 10, $fn = 100)
			hull(){
				translate([15, 0, 0])
 					circle(r = 10); 
		
				translate([screwUpRate*25+20, screwUpRate*(-5), 0])
					circle(r = 5);
			}
    }

	for ( i = [0 : 9] )
	{
    rotate( i * 360 / 10, [0, 0, 1])
    translate([(35+screwUpRate*25)/2, 0, 0])
    sphere(r = (screwUpRate*25+25-(35+screwUpRate*25)/2)/2, $fn = 50);
	}
}
}

// choose a screwUpRate from 0-1
whoScrewedUpMyDonut(0);
