    Plant pot to help drainage, lifting the bottom of the pot off the ground.

    The frog wasn't designed by me. See :      
        https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:18479
        by Morena Protti (https://www.thingiverse.com/morenap/designs)

    NOTE, the original frog had many verticies, and OpenSCAD seemed to fail
    (or maybe there was something weird about the original STL)

    I lowered the number of polygons using MeshLab :
        Filters > Remeshing, simplification and construction > Quadratic Edge Collapse Decimation
    Use the link above if you want the hi-res frog model.

    Use the Scale ModelExtension to suit your pot.
    Three frogs needed for each pot.

Print Notes

    Double scale, I used 6 perimeters (and the voids weren't working)
    Then changed to 4 perimeters with the voids working.

class PlantPotFeetFrog : Model {

    var height = 10
    
    override fun build() : Shape3d {
        val frog = STLParser().parseFile( "treeFrogFixed.stl" )
        val step = Cylinder( 50, 40 ).sides(100).frontTo(2).bottomTo(height)

        // By adding tiny voids, we can print the model with low fill density,
        // and still have good support under the pot, because the voids will cause
        // additional perimiters.
        val voids = Cube( 0.2,0.2, height-0.8 ).center().bottomTo(0.4)
            .repeatX(4, 3).repeatY(5,2.7).centerX().frontTo(2)

        return frog - voids - step
    }
