Show HN: Atopile – Design circuit boards with code
Old issue, but annoying nonetheless. Less of a problem when outputting STL files (for printing) which only support polylines and not arcs/circles. Funnily enough, 3D printers nowadays support arcs natively in G-code, so some slicers support detecting rounded polylines and converting them back into circles or arcs.
Found a script[0] that does this for DXFs in a github issue[1].

Darwin cartesian robot bom needed
But the darwin was a pretty terrible design, why not Mendel90 or something?

Still needs more work and some tidying up (and install the hot end) but my Mendel90 was moving today. Ran a 45min gcode with no issues. Only issue so far - Bed is not getting hot enough. Maxed out at 65c. Either wiring too small or not enough voltage. Thinking about modding RAMPS and using 24v
For anyone interested in details, I suggest taking a look at the github repository https://github.com/nophead/Mendel90/

New to OpenScad: how to draw shapes?
I think one of the most amazing expressions I've seen of this so far is Nophead's Mendel90 - a 3D printer design that's fully parametric, to the point where you can not only select basically any size you want and get all the manufacturing files out, but even change everything from the whole style of the printer to what bolts you want to use, and then generate exploded diagrams of each sub-component.

MK4 Printable Parts are now available
If you're looking for examples of high quality openscad code, dotSCAD is pretty cool. nophead (old school reprap person and one of the openscad developers) has a parts library that I think is high quality.

RIP Lin Xinliang (Liang Gege) 1975~2022
Justin Lin passed away due to illness in 2022 at the age of 48.[0]
On December 22, 2022 OpenSCAD posted:
> Today's advent calendar door is a sad one. We'd like to commemorate Justin Lin, who passed away a while ago. In the OpenSCAD community he is best known for his #dotSCAD library. His designs always brought joy and amazement. Thank you, we will miss you.[1,2]

Does anyone know how I could join all the spheres together to create a single curve? I am trying to use the hull() function.
https://github.com/JustinSDK/dotSCAD - as far as I can tell this is widely used

"tria(_p1, _p2, _p3)" module implements "spherical triangle" on sphere, allows for sperical polygon as well
// require https://github.com/JustinSDK/dotSCAD use use use n = 5; radius = 10; thickness = 1; geom = geom_icosahedron(radius); points = geom[0]; faces = geom[1]; for(f = faces) { triangle = [for(i = f) points[i]]; // subdivide the triangle triangles = tri_subdivide(triangle, n); points1 = [ for(t = triangles, p = t) let(unit_vector = p / norm(p)) unit_vector * radius ]; points2 = [ for(t = triangles, p = t) let(unit_vector = p / norm(p)) unit_vector * (radius - thickness) ]; ff = [for(i = [0:3:len(points1) - 3]) [i, i + 1, i + 2]]; color(rands(0, 1, 3)) sf_solidifyT(points1, points2, ff); }

If you are into OpenSCAD, grab this chap's work - https://github.com/JustinSDK/dotSCAD/tree/master/src and use his modules, they are rather good.

Preferred way for rounding corners?
// use // a shape function from https://github.com/JustinSDK/dotSCAD // sq_outer = shape_square(size = 50, corner_r = 5); sq_outer = [[20, -25], [21.9471, -24.6053], [23.5868, -23.4835], [24.6602, -21.8118], [25, -20], [25, 20], [24.6053, 21.9471], [23.4835, 23.5868], [21.8118, 24.6602], [20, 25], [-20, 25], [-21.8118, 24.6602], [-23.4835, 23.5868], [-24.6053, 21.9471], [-25, 20], [-25, -20], [-24.6602, -21.8118], [-23.5868, -23.4835], [-21.9471, -24.6053], [-20, -25]]; // sq_inner = shape_square(size = 30, corner_r = 3); sq_inner = [[12, -15], [13.8551, -14.3577], [14.9158, -12.7057], [15, -12], [15, 12], [14.3577, 13.8551], [12.7057, 14.9158], [12, 15], [-12, 15], [-12.7057, 14.9158], [-14.3577, 13.8551], [-15, 12], [-15, -12], [-14.9158, -12.7057], [-13.8551, -14.3577], [-12, -15]]; polygon( points = concat(sq_outer, sq_inner), paths = [ [each [0:len(sq_outer) - 1]], [each [len(sq_outer):len(sq_outer)+ len(sq_inner) - 1]] ] );
