manifold VS dactyl-generator-demo

Small in a relative sense compared to some larger codebase.

Here's a bit on Manifold:

https://github.com/elalish/manifold/wiki/Manifold-Library

and the author's blog is interesting:

For cad kernels I highly recommend manifold https://github.com/elalish/manifold

Our project https://github.com/elalish/manifold made use of this to speed up mesh processing algorithms a lot.

Wondering why no BRep support means it is not a CAD. It seems that OpenVSP doesn't use BRep but uses parametric surface [1]. I wonder if mesh-based modeling + some constraints solving will get you a CAD, or are there other requirements that I don't know? I only work on mesh processing library on my free-time and I don't know much about BRep.

Unhealthy relationship with keyboards? Comparing with the r/MechanicalKeyboards or r/ErgoMechKeyboards people this relationship is more like divorced...

I added python binding and ended up being on of the devs for https://github.com/elalish/manifold because OpenSCAD is too slow for my modeling (I am quite impatient). Optimizing my keyboard for months with more than 5 complete rebuilds to optimize my design (looks like this: https://i.redd.it/xtf0f54mt7ya1.jpg), and is afraid of open sourcing it because my code looks too bad :(

Now much faster and more stable thanks to the Manifold engine (https://github.com/elalish/manifold): in fact it is often faster than the last stable desktop release from https://openscad.org/.

Also much better code completion, and ships with a few examples from the various bundled libraries to get you started.

At the end, they gonna replace it with ( elalish manifold.

Thank you! This is a great resource if you need an explanation for the settings: https://github.com/yejianfengblue/dactyl-generator-demo. I was hoping to incorporate these into the site... but I haven't figured out what the best way of doing that is yet.

And there is an online 3D model generator for Dactyl Manuform which you can use to create models and see. Here is a repo that demonstrates the variables with example pictures.

https://github.com/yejianfengblue/dactyl-generator-demo show how parameters work

On the main page, you can see there is a little disclaimer which has a full GitHub repo where all the parameters are explained with screenshots.

Check the demo repo: https://github.com/yejianfengblue/dactyl-generator-demo

I use Ibnu D. Ski’s online generator to visualize and play around with options. Definitely worth trying.
