NopSCADlib VS BOSL

They don't seem to be aware of https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib which has been around for an age.

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.

As for now there is no library of parts for SolveSpace similar to NopSCADLib for r/OpenSCAD or FreeCAD library for r/FreeCAD.

This is exciting news. And I enjoyed to learn that some investigation on adding parallelism has been done. OpenSCAD is my main design driver, so when I hit these performance corners, it'd drive me nuts.

OpenSCAD and https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib is a winning combo.

It's going to take you more than a few days. There are a bunch of libraries out there: https://github.com/topics/openscad-library is a whole list of them plus https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib has tons of prebuild parts you can modify.

I cnc'ed the front panel of the box, but it would be interesting to have a tool for panels specifically. Best thing I could find that goes in the same direction is this project https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4947863 based on the ultimate box maker and NopSCADlib https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib/

All the designs we're drawing for https://wiki.replimat.org/wiki/Main_Page are done using our branch of https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib which contains some work yet to be upstreamed here: https://github.com/timschmidt/replimat

I've spent a lot of time improving the CAD situation around the system. All our core parts are now a part of https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib which automatically generates assembly instructions, bills of material, 2D and 3D CAD files for cutting and printing, etc. Eventually it will generate machine control commands directly.

Here's the code.

I suppose something like this might help too.. https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib#pcb

I belive something like this?

Ah, never mind. I found it: https://github.com/revarbat/BOSL

OpenSCAD provides the primitives for constructive geometry. Anything beyond that requires libraries. BOSL is quite popular (although I use BOSL rather than BOSL2 because BOSL2 is not finalized). https://github.com/revarbat/BOSL

If you have any programming experience then OpenSCAD might be worth a look. Up until very recently I have used it exclusively for the past few years. It takes a bit to build yourself up a personal library of common shapes but once you do you can code up a design pretty quickly. And if you use any type of good programming experience your designs are parametric by default. There are also existing libraries out there that can help out quite a bit (e.g. https://github.com/revarbat/BOSL and https://github.com/JustinSDK/dotSCAD)

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.
