My first project with the BOSL2 library
The BOSL2 equivalent is https://github.com/BelfrySCAD/BOSL2/wiki/CheatSheet
- Polygon paths using logo like commands?
- Bend Lines (machining reference) - DXF.
- Is there a more efficient way to make rounded cubes and cylinders?

New Bypass Valve for My Old Water Softener.
I used the BOSL2 library for the threads. Much easier that way!

Squeeze Tube Organizer in one (long) line of OpenSCAD
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5905001 - Thanks to BOSL2, once I've defined a few constant, the entire source code is one (long) line:

How to control decimal precision/places on text( str=($number) )
I was heading down this path, but stumbled across this library that has a TON of really great functions: BOSL2. Lot's of useful stuff here and not just strings and math. I used format_fixed() to solve my problem. It doesn't seem to accept math functions in the call, but that is easily solved with an intermediate variable.

It won't be easy, but try using this: https://github.com/revarbat/BOSL2/wiki/beziers.scad

How to slightly bend object?
BOSL2 has a function for bending a polyhedron around a given radius but it's one of those functions that are super powerful but not very clear about how to use effectively (maybe that's just me).

How can I create a quarter cylinder?
In the vein of "lots of ways to do things", my personal favorite for rounding is Round Anything: https://github.com/Irev-Dev/Round-Anything
- Module to round individual corners of cubes in 2d
- Setting units and fillets?
- Preferred way for rounding corners?

OpenSCAD 3D rendering just got an order of magnitude faster
I was looking for this recently and found a great OpenSCAD library called RoundAnything. It looks very productive:

Try this,
Yes, The tip solves one of the most reoccurring questions about OpenSCAD, How to make chamfer and fillets on extrusions. As for description the code is both commented and names are assigned to indicate their purpose. In combination with the Round-Anything library a good chunk of usually hard modeling becomes real easy.

This how far I've gotten after 10 days through learning curve and iterative cycle of OpenSCAD > Cura Slicing > 3D Printing > Tweaking > Repeating...
Back to topic, you might find Round Anything to be useful -- I certainly have. I haven't used it yet, but the shell2d() out of the Belfry OpenScad Library also looks like it would be helpful for these sort of functional parts.

"offset" for 3D?
I submit my own library that supposed to help with fillets, can be used for chamfers too. https://github.com/Irev-Dev/Round-Anything
