The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

I pointed my backyard telescope into deep space and took pictures of this tiny patch of sky for 32 hours to reveal galaxies at mind-boggling distances … millions to billions of light years away. [OC]
For anyone that wants to look at the details, the hardware and code on this one is all open source: https://github.com/OpenAstroTech/OpenAstroTracker
- SolidWorks or Fusion 360 assembly files available?

- Can you add male or female bolt threads in Prusa Slicer?
- I'm sure many around here already know about this gear generation library, but for those who don't, I'm sharing it here,
-
I just want to show you my parametric gear that I just finished. Since the code is a mess, I can't share it completely, but I'll improve it soon so you can use it easily.(sorry for my english)
I belive something like this?

Bosl1 or 2
Ah, never mind. I found it: https://github.com/revarbat/BOSL
- Creating a library for OpenSCAD
- Help with a threads module. I don't know where to start to add in the specs I want.

OpenSCAD help needed
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
- N-order Bezier curve function (Did I do this right?)

What is the best 3D modeling program to learn?
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)

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.
