Matthias Dittgen :bc:<p>another leisure project while the temperatures outside are unbearable this week.

OpenSCAD<p>Due to this topic coming up recently, we'll have a look at how <a href="https://floss.social/tags/OpenSCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSCAD</span></a> supports typographic features some modern fonts have. A list of features can be found at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_typographic_features" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_</span><span class="invisible">typographic_features</span></a> along with a short description of what they do.</p><p>OpenSCAD supports enabling those features when specifying the font to use in the text() module.</p><p>The screenshot shows the different display of the "Linux Libertine G" font (<a href="https://www.numbertext.org/linux/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">numbertext.org/linux/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>) with "Small Caps" and "Oldstyle Figures" features enabled.</p>
Jasper 🍉<p>It seems like if the object is in the middle, you can't see it. <a href="https://mastodon.nl/tags/openscad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>openscad</span></a></p><p>used 1/F = 1/a + 1/b and ya/yb = -za/zb, basically.</p><p>But also a bit of a hack with the shapes, used the size changes to take an input shape of light, `hull`ing it to a central point and then adding `scale(-1)` which is does the end beyond the focus. The result is `intersection`ed to the relevant area.</p><p>The next input it made by using that shape and intersecting with the lens.(1/2)</p>
OpenSCAD<p>Even though it has been a bit quiet here, <a href="https://floss.social/tags/OpenSCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSCAD</span></a> development is going on including quite a number of first-time contributions. We'll look a some of the new features in the next couple of posts...</p><p>Let's start with a GUI improvement. It is now possible to define the behavior of mouse buttons using a predefined setup or by choosing an action for each mouse button directly. Many thanks to Harry Braviner who added this feature.</p>
Jonathan Lamothe<p><a href="https://social.jlamothe.net/search?tag=OpenSCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSCAD</span></a> question:</p><p>if in wanted to emboss text around the outer rounded edge of a cylinder, how would I go about doing that?

Zack Cerza<p>Over the last few years I've built a ton of small gadgets - mostly various WiFi-based sensors based on ESP devices - but more recently BLE via nrf52840. They're all oddly-shaped, enclosure-less, and getting a little dusty.</p><p>A friend who's moving far away gifted me his 3d printer, and I immediately started learning Blender to be able to design my own things. The last time I'd used any sort of CAD was over twenty years back.</p><p>There's probably a better way to do this, but I'd been creating one rough model of each device, then a larger model representing the case, then doing a transform op to subtract one form from the other. It gets the job done, but the workflow kind of sucks - between iterations there's a lot of undoing.</p><p>Today I discovered OpenSCAD, which allows me to define the models in code - it makes it so much easier to visualize the before &amp; after, and iterate quickly! Such a huge improvement for me.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/3dprint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>3dprint</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/blender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blender</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/openscad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>openscad</span></a></p>
Jer 🚵🏼<p>Posted 3d models for a couple different lengths and styles of straps and a new clasp mechanism I modeled in fusion. The straps were made with the OpenSCAD script that <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.tchncs.de/@kauzerei" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>kauzerei</span></a></span> originally created.

Kauz<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://techhub.social/@jerzone" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>jerzone</span></a></span> I'm unfortunately no Fusion 360 expert, but you're right, it's pretty easy with <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/OpenSCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSCAD</span></a>. At least with BOSL2. The spiral can be parameterized differently, I've kept it close to your draft, but instead of minimal diameter and pitch I used minimal and maximal diameters. Here's a code snippet that produces picrelated: <a href="https://github.com/kauzerei/OpensCadaver/blob/main/drafts/bike_strap.scad" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/kauzerei/OpensCadav</span><span class="invisible">er/blob/main/drafts/bike_strap.scad</span></a><br>You need to have BOSL2 (edit the path accordingly). And also feel free to ask anything, I understand that the code is probably not self-explanatory enough :D</p>
Jer 🚵🏼<p>And by "freecad" I meant OpenSCAD of course. I don't know anything about freecad, slightly familiar with losing my mind in openscad.<br><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/OpenSCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSCAD</span></a></p>

Pete Prodoehl 🍕<p>Reminder! Enable "Manifold" in OpenSCAD... for some reason one of my computers did not have it turned on.

Martin Tilo Schmitz<p>Yes, travel sized toothpaste and handcreme tubes have a terrible packaging &amp; price to content ratio, but they ARE handy, so... <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/3Dprint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>3Dprint</span></a> yourself a tube to tube converter and refill them?</p><p>I don't have a file to share, the diameters, profile and screw thread parameters can vary too randomly. I guess this would be an ideal case for an <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/OpenSCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSCAD</span></a> parameterized file but I've so far only ever consumed those and never created any.</p><p>It's easy to build in <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/blender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blender</span></a> :blender: with a screw modifier though.</p>
