HELP creating geometric shape for 3D printer

[jamcultur]

Yes please do ! I do not have OpenSCAD but I can get it.

I'll put it here in case anyone else is interested.

width = 76;
height = 130;
draw_one();
translate([0, 0, (height/2)-0.01])
rotate([0, 0, 45])
draw_one();

module draw_one() {
hull() {
cube([width, width, 0.01], center=true);
translate([0, 0, (height/2)])
rotate([0, 0, 45])
cube([width, width, 0.01], center=true);
}
}

When you run it with the OpenSCAD customizer, you'll get a very simple user interface where you can specify the width and height in millimeters.

Edit: Sorry the code lost its formatting when I uploaded it

Here's what the code should look like:

lol thought someone who wasn't broke would do that.
Clever way to do it too - way simpler than my method.
If only i understood geometry :-)

Added another variable to give you control over the angle of rotation, makes some interesting shapes :-)

width = 76;
height = 130;
ar=100; // angle of rotation

module draw_one() {
hull() {
cube([width, width, 0.01], center=true);
translate([0, 0, (height/2)]) rotate([0, 0, ar]) cube([width, width, 0.01], center=true);
}
}

draw_one();
translate([0, 0, (height/2)-0.01]) rotate([0, 0, ar]) draw_one();
