pathbuilder VS dotSCAD

https://github.com/dinther/pathbuilder this seems to accept svg data (open it up in something like notepad++)

pathBuilder for openSCAD implements an enhanced set of SVG path commands to create complex shapes easier. It has been around for a while but recently I have spent a lot of time on it. Fixing bugs and adding functionality. I thought it might be useful for some of you.

I just uploaded a 2D pathbuilder for openSCAD to github. It allows you to define 2D shapes using a syntax similar to the SVG path. It also does fillets and chamfers.

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.

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]

On October 11, 2022 dotSCAD v3.3 released — it was the last commit by JustinSDK on GitHub.[3]

https://github.com/JustinSDK/dotSCAD - as far as I can tell this is widely used

I synced your repo: https://github.com/JustinSDK/dotSCAD

// 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.

// 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]] ] );

path_extrude from https://github.com/JustinSDK/dotSCAD library. This kinda works.
