3D model description

Quick, easy and dirty OpenSCAD to make a low poly klein bottle.

Ehem...
Quick? Not as much as I thought (1h-1h30)
Easy? Easy would have been using cylinders $fn=3 instead of polyhedrons!
Dirty? Yes! It looks like a parametric thing but it's NOT!
Low Poly? Neither, OpenScad reports 40 faces but there's some misalignment that's adding 4 more than needed.

3D printing settings

The walls may be "that" too thin/thick and the top face I think should not be a major issue...

Designed to be 40mm OD and 45mm tall (I may be wrong though...) with 1mm thick walls.

If I can I'll ask bot1334 to give it a try and see what happens Well, I asked her and she did a pretty decent work :-)
