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

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.

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)?

@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!
