if you assume the slicer thinks it's printing a perfect rectangle you might be right, but it doesn't, in fact different slicers treat this parameter differently, they can identify which of the extrusions will be external and which will be internal.. while i don't use SINGLE wall for calibration, surely a double wall or even a triple may compenate. iv'e been having nozzle scratching the top of tby emaayan - General
hi.. does anyone know if there's a y carriage for this heatbed?by emaayan - Extruded Aluminum Frames
thanks i was trying to come up with a generic module for this..that's what the overlap module was for, i started searching and thought it was a bug in openscadby emaayan - OpenSCAD
thanks i was trying to come up with a generic module for this..by emaayan - OpenSCAD
well for some reason i'm still getting this, and i have no idea what's it's even called, but i can see through the walls..by emaayan - OpenSCAD
thanks, couldn't there be a generic method with some form of scale and resize play here?by emaayan - OpenSCAD
this happens on preview when i try to subtract objects but after doing render it looks ok, i keep, have to play with offseting z or the height of object by a fraction of 0.001 or 0.0002 to make it look ok in preview as well..by emaayan - OpenSCAD
actually someone just mentioned this to me, i was looking or something like this, after i saw library which initially looked like doing a lof of this things i'm doing .. i knew it would make things simpler this way.. btw my recent changes seems to make scad behave ...weird, something i the rendering doesn't seem right. pressing F6 ,usually shows it ok after, but still... my original plan wasby emaayan - OpenSCAD
you mean hull each shape on it's own instead of the whole thing? how about doing it as a module, the hull would be created bu doing a hexagon, and subtract it from the real shapes: translate([0,0,holderActuallHeight]){ drawHoles(manArr){ translate([0,0,0]){ if (hullIt){by emaayan - OpenSCAD
hi.. the hull method did helped, but it also helped to know what i want, in terms of terminology, what i'm REALLY looking for is CONCAVE hull, i want the hull to be minimal , and not a Convex one, i've been trying to see if anyone wrote a library for it... but i'm not sure.. Quoteenif Quoteemaayan it certainly does , now if i could just offset, but i'm guessing i'm gonna have to re-do the fuby emaayan - OpenSCAD
so this is my new use of hull and projectionby emaayan - OpenSCAD
i have the cheet sheet bookmarked in my browser, doesn't mean i always understand it ... isn't the projection involves creating external files first?by emaayan - OpenSCAD
it certainly does , now if i could just offset, but i'm guessing i'm gonna have to re-do the function that creates the cells, to use circles and not cylinders so the hull would be 2d..by emaayan - OpenSCAD
consider the following file.. is there anyway i can somehow create a polygon based on the manArr variable, that would encompass all the cylinders, without cutting through them? so far the only way i think of is doing somehow a recursive function, but opensCad's restrictions on functions to be one line is driving me insane..by emaayan - OpenSCAD

because the shape itself is not a box, it's this, and it's shape is depdendent on the amounts of rows and colsby emaayan - OpenSCAD
hi.. i'm working on something that generates a holder for lithium battery packs, based on a number of parameters , (like number of rows, columns, cells, etc..) this is my first project in openscad, so go easy ... my question, how can i split the BODY part (the part between holders) .. the alternative is to print it larger, have it sandwitch between the covers which only they will be bolted..by emaayan - OpenSCAD
