What better way to incorporate parametric design learning/teaching and Christmas holiday spirits than some candy cane scripting. Sure it can be done by hand as well but the best way to get a grip on your parametric skills is to use it also for more seasonal holiday spirit and instant satisfaction reward. Here is my script for different type of candy canes and of course the stl files are free to grab from thinginverse — just follow the link:

Information about how to 3D print the candy canes fast can be fund on ultimaker community.
