NopSCADlib VS BOSL2

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

The BOSL2 equivalent is https://github.com/BelfrySCAD/BOSL2/wiki/CheatSheet

I used the BOSL2 library for the threads. Much easier that way!

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

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

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).
