OpenScad has been stagnant for a whole year. No bug fixes or improvements. It almost looked like the development effort was dead. Well, it turns out they were very busy!!! There is a new...

Here is a piece of OpenScad code I wrote to make ridged beams. I was making a Pump Jack for my brother that just graduated from University of Texas as a Petroleum Engineer. I wanted things as big...

This happens to me a alot... If you press the 'Back' button to return to the page before you submitted it... You can highlight all your text, and do a 'Copy' to get it to the clipboard. Then you...

What's a facet command? Searching the OpenScad manual doesn't find any reference to that.

Update: I figured out what you meant. I suspect you are talking about the $fn parameter????

I've been doing things along this line of thinking. But I would add one thing. Sometimes I can do what I want, but it is very clumsy and brute force. If I can see the source code from somebody...

If you are smart, you ought to make sure your lego blocks plug into the real ones. That way, you can tell the parents to go buy the normal ones. And you can print the cool, specialty ones the kid...

I suggest you put the [32,32,20] inside of brackets. If for no other reason than everybody else does and expects to see that. But now you are changing your tune. You said you wanted the h=36...

cylinder(h=36, d=30);

The way OpenScad works is default numbers can be specified for a module. And if the caller over rides that number, then something else can be used. H (Height) is the first...

A sphere and cylinder are always generated at (0,0). So when you translate them... what ever amount you translated them... Is where the center's are. I warmed over your code so you can see...

I usually use a difference() to look inside things. I subtract off a huge cube([]) so I can see a cross sectional view of what is being built. I have a couple of examples, like a whistle and a...

On difference() and union() and intersection() the ()'s have to be there... But nothing goes inside them.

The curly braces {} enclose lines of code to form a 'statement' or 'block'. Everything...

OpenScad evolved and was never really well thought out in advance. The syntax of the language shows that. They wanted it to look like C but the fundamentals of the language are different. ...
