If it printed in a Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga shape, I'd be all over it.

That is cool! I hate OpenScad, just for being to complex for me to truly grasp. Although, I haven't spent any time with that either.. nm I still hate it.

I'm a programmer so OpenScad is pretty comfortable for me although there are a lot of things I don't like about it. Mostly I was a little curious about how their customizer worked so I gave it a try.

I create video course curriculum for a friend of mine. Do you think there is a video course in this? If I can get 500 views of it, it's worth me doing it.

Probably there us a tutorial that teaches programmers how to use it, nothing very good for moe-rons like me.

OpenScad is open source so I think it's a little harder to sell paid training videos but if you are just talking free views of it then yea, I think you would easily get that many, especially if it's good.

Any way to change the lattice? This could be useful for other applications - like making a honeycomb grid for photo lights.

Yea, here's a way I saw to do that with slicer.

I'm not a programmer, but I hacked out this kind of hex mesh for another thing I made a few weeks ago. I wanted to test recursion, which I've almost never done. If you use INTERSECT() in OpenSCAD, you can make this fill a rectangle, or circle, etc.
Sorry the commenting is kind of incomplete, but there are parameters for thickness of the mesh walls, overall area covered, how high in z, and so on.
I could explain in more detail on Monday if anyone wants.
The F5 render is fast, the F6 render is way slow.
