Easy Bolt
It's based on threadlib and makes it easier to create these objects than other tools. It has 950 threads to choose from. Pick one... and customize.

It's the simple functional prints that make this hobby so great... 30mins from idea to reality...
They have a list of them here, and I personally use BOSL, gears, threadlib, and tsmthread for NPT/ACME threads.

My first project with the BOSL2 library
The BOSL2 equivalent is https://github.com/BelfrySCAD/BOSL2/wiki/CheatSheet
- Polygon paths using logo like commands?
- Bend Lines (machining reference) - DXF.
- Is there a more efficient way to make rounded cubes and cylinders?

New Bypass Valve for My Old Water Softener.
I used the BOSL2 library for the threads. Much easier that way!

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

How to control decimal precision/places on text( str=($number) )
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

How to slightly bend object?
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).
What are some alternatives?
