So I guess thanks to #openscad, #inkscape and my #3dprinter....now only like a bunch more to go!

Crap, have to design and print a custom enclosure now... I start to understand why a clean desk policy is saving you time. In a drawer I had never seen those tags 🤣

Well, time to start I guess!

Ein neues 3D-Modell, “Magnetic Outlet Hose Holder For Tumble Dryers”, wurde gerade veröffentlicht!

#OpenScad

@suetanvil as a proud #OpenSCAD user, I find it funny, when big commercial CAD software makes such a big deal out of their new revolutionary parametric design capabilities

OverLoadedBoxes

#Genuary2026 #Genuary #WCCC #WCCChallenge #Genuary1 #Genuary12 #boxes #shape

Blog\Images\Code: blog.illestpreacha.com/genuary

OverLoadedBoxes takes Prompt 1: “1 Color 1 Shape”, , and Prompt 12: Only boxes of Genuary2026. Coded in #Openscad and added filter

#Poetry

Entities
made of Boxes
Wandering around acting as this Stage
Is theirs
Within their tiers
Ignoring the others that are there
For this is their space
For their paths in their pace
For the Boxes are of one shade
For the Boxes are only Boxes

Also creating this curved parametric telephone stand in #OpenSCAD. I got the idea from a model I found on Printables but I wanted more control over the design.

CrystalizedFloats is coded in #Openscad & #HydraVideoSynth which uses Transparency (23rd Prompt of Genuary2026) in many ways

As they wanted to feed their mind

if you work with #openSCAD on the mac... get the nightly build from 2026(!) instead of 2021(!) here:

openscad.org/downloads.html#sn

you will experience *much* faster rendering on your mac.

Anybody who wants to can get the SCAD and the STL files for printing their own stretching cat.

I'd love to hear back from anybody who does.

Satisfying #Caturday

First print of stretching cat in black PLA (2 inch test size).

Maybe I used the wrong search terms or didn't scroll the search results for too long, but I didn't find any good D-shaft knobs on Printables/Thingiverse. Either the geometry of the shaft part was all wrong and non-compliant, or the knob was pointing in the wrong direction, or I didn't like the shape for some other reason.
Since I had to model anyway, I just made a replica of the original thing I was trying to replace in #OpenSCAD. It's based on pictures of the original knob, so it's not perfect, but close enough.

@TheADHDM it’s great fun. There is an #OpenSCAD script to generate anything for Brio.

CAD-as-code (and maybe CAD people in general) people, newbie question for you:

Where do you typically put the origin of simple parts such that will be combined into larger assemblies?

Geometric centre? Pick a corner and grow everything in positive x, y, z? Something else?

I ask because the centre seems to me like the most general approach, but then you're having to constantly be moving parts around, typically by doing a lot of floating point division (which is terribly imprecise), like halving dimensions all the time to keep them centred. And then when centred, you have to shuffle them again by a bunch of half-as-muches to build them into assemblies.

But OTOH, having the origin off in some random corner seems somewhat pyrrhic also.

Thoughts? Feelings? Comments?

@poleguy I love freecad, but lots of that type of experience has driven me over to #openscad. It’s pretty basic and my user interface is VI at this point but all the operations work and you get instantaneous feedback

Has someone used some #3DPrinting bricks/walling/interlocking planks of some description to make a substantial shed/storage unit using a standard 200mm printer? Not looking for google answers please - looking for someone who's done :-)

FYI I Have my own @SnapCloud -> #OpenSCAD x4 scale LEGO type bricks but wondering if there is anything better / uses less plastic

Project overview: Stackable Playing Cards and parametric Slick Box!

The base card and the parametric box were designed on @FreeCAD using a spreadsheet for dynamic parameters. Then, I used #OpenSCAD with a couple bash scripts to render all cards from a regular deck ☺️ check the video for more details!
