Kauzerei<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://tech.lgbt/@nina_kali_nina" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>nina_kali_nina</span></a></span> seems right, of course one doesn't bother documenting a project, if they didn't bother to code it themself.<br>Is this a standard functionality built in github now? I'd chat with my repos just for giggles. Especially with the one with <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/OpenSCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSCAD</span></a> models, now that "vibe CADing" is apparently a thing :D</p>

Frank<p>So version 1.3 of my filament spool for <a href="https://social.chaotikum.org/tags/3dprinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3dprinting</span></a> with some useful updates is now officially released:<br><a href="https://git.chaotikum.org/derderwish/filament_spool" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">git.chaotikum.org/derderwish/f</span><span class="invisible">ilament_spool</span></a></p><p>It's in use for a few weeks in the <a href="https://social.chaotikum.org/tags/Nbsp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nbsp</span></a> of the <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.chaotikum.org/@chaotikumev" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>chaotikumev</span></a></span> now and I think it works fine.</p><p><a href="https://social.chaotikum.org/tags/lasercutting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lasercutting</span></a> a spool is much faster than printing and it is very storage efficient when disassembled.</p><p>Thanks to <a href="https://social.chaotikum.org/tags/openscad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openscad</span></a> it is adjustable, too.</p>
Steve DeGroof 📚🛸<p>...and this works for any type of thread, provided you can come up with the coordinates for the thread profile.</p><p>I mean, it seems obvious in retrospect that this should work.

Steve DeGroof 📚🛸<p>Interesting <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/3dDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3dDesign</span></a> thing I noticed in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OpenSCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSCAD</span></a>...</p><p>You can take the xy coordinates of a thread profile, use them as rθ coordinates (stretching the x range to cover 360°), and create a polygon from that.</p><p>That polygon, then, represents a cross-section of a bolt with that thread profile.</p><p>You can then do a linear_extrude() on the polygon with 360° of twist per pitch length (e.g. a 1mm length with .1mm pitch needs to twist 3600°).</p><p>And that creates a bolt with the original thread profile.</p>
Enea Lecas<p>My first steps in 3D modelling.<br>I created the Flower of Life in OpenSCAD. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/openscad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openscad</span></a> is a code-based open-source <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/3Dmodelling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3Dmodelling</span></a> software. I am receiving my 3D printer soon, to be able to print it out.</p>
Paul Richards<p>A little fidget thing my daughter asked me to make and print. It's amazing what you can make in a few lines of OpenSCAD code. The two parts should slot into each other, but I'm expecting to have to iterate a little on the clearances. 😆 <br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/OpenSCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSCAD</span></a></p>
Darren<p>I have finally found a <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/3dcad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3dcad</span></a> tool that works for me. <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/openscad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>openscad</span></a> lets me just write code for objects and (duh), that works for my brain. No fiddly mouse operations, and having to rebuild things from scratch. Just declarative objects. It's lightweight, you can check stuff into git. As long as you can visualize object transformations reasonably, it has been simple (so far) to build quite complex objects. The parametric features were very helpful for this object. I wasn't sure how many grooves I wanted, but you can just change a for loop till it looks right. Openscad does the visualization, I'm editing in vi. It's light weight..</p>

jakob42<p>My daughter wanted a moon lamp when we went to Space Expo in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/noordwijk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>noordwijk</span></a>.

cdc<p>How to easily model curved functional parts in <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/OpenSCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSCAD</span></a>: 1. Take a picture of the profiles of the parts and draw their contours in <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/Inkscape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Inkscape</span></a>, then save the file as an SVG; 2. Import all the SVG files into OpenSCAD and intersect the extruded profiles; and 3. Model the functional features accordingly.
