Sometimes I wonder how so little can engage so much? Maybe I have a wrong mental model from Reddit or subject lines at all. The message/question seems precise and the author guides his audience and responders with easy to understand commands, like "yes" or "no" or "I just want [single word]". So in total he's using Reddit just like an AI prompt. I am somewhere between fascinated and disgusted. #Reddit #OpenSCAD #prompt
Now that I have my cylinder and arc basics, I can create and print all the SKÅDIS hooks I can imagine or just the plain ones. I needed those small ones that simulate a screw head #openscad #3dprinting #ikea #skadis #bambulab
Just ran my old @SnapCloud #OpenScad .scad file generator to make a #GridFinity bin to hold glue gun sticks
Didn't work in Snap V10 but worked fine when I ran it from Snap V9 - will have to investigate it and bring up to date
A parametric, stackable 30 Pin SIMM storage tray. Tell #openscad how tall you want it and how many SIMMs you want and it generates a tray.
I also have a 72 Pin SIMM version. Public soon, perhaps?
The #USPS offers a relatively inexpensive destructive test service that finds all the under engineered sections of your #3dprint designs. They likely have an office near you. Ask about rates … i’m thinking the next iteration of this device should have space for a built-in accelerometer. Designed with #openscad. Smashed by the postal service.
Posted 3d models for a couple different lengths and styles of straps and a new clasp mechanism I modeled in fusion. The straps were made with the OpenSCAD script that @kauzerei originally created. I've been tweaking and experimenting with it, making a "notched" version along the way.

More weaving patterns. Adding customizer parameters to the model. #OpenSCAD #3Dprinting #chainHull #basket #weave #plaited
I did a little #OpenSCAD animation showing the assembly of a printable mouse I've been working on.
The objects in red are non-printable parts (scroll wheel encoder, microswitches, optical mouse sensor, microcontroller, battery pack). The gray pieces are 3D printable.

A few tweaks needed still, but I think this works pretty well for holding up Ultra-Pro One-Touch card shells. Nice way to make a little display for rare cards.
Tweaking my sign handle design because the wind yesterday was not kind...
I used my over-engineered, mouse/trackball/whatever generating #OpenSCAD code to make a Bluetooth scroll wheel because why not?
What is a straightforward offline way to convert a STEP (.stp) file to either stl or openscad?
preferably FOSS and cross-platform, but either linux or mac is OK. Win only not useful.
I made a small tool called SpecSCAD to help write unit tests for #OpenSCAD functions using a #BDD-style syntax (describe, it, expect), inspired by Mocha/Jest. #UnitTesting
It runs @OpenSCAD in headless mode via Bash and outputs simple pass/fail results. No external dependencies beyond OpenSCAD + Bash.
It’s very lightweight, but can help to catch issues early in function-heavy code. Maybe it’s useful to others too — feedback welcome!
My work on making #OpenSCAD control #OrcaSlicer is progressing. I'm moving from bash to real software.
I don't have huge needs: parsing JSON & XML un/zipping, and writing files. And I want this to be buildable into a single binary (no VMs or external runtimes).
I initially reached for #golang, but I'm second guessing that. Switching between Go and OpenSCAD is very jarring.
What general purpose, #FunctionalProgramming language is broadly similar to OpenSCAD (and fits my criteria)?
The #openscad playground is amazing. It's openSCAD compiled to wasm and runs in your browser. I wonder if we could make a preview generator out of it
> It defaults to the Manifold backend so it's **super** fast!
@OpenSCAD I'm trying to track down the change log in the latest development release 2025.06.21 - I'm super excited but don't see a tag, release, news, etc
Thanks to all you do, you've opened the world of modeling and 3dprinting to me!
*update* You figured out the snapshots are just that, snapshots not releases! No worries thanks!
Reminder! Enable "Manifold" in OpenSCAD... for some reason one of my computers did not have it turned on. I was wondering why rendering was so slow.
(And by "slow" I mean a progress bar appeared for a 10 seconds.)
