#bosl2 — Public Fediverse posts

@kauzerei ah, that’s not too far off from something I tried, but I don’t fully understand #BOSL2’s attachments and tags and separate Boolean operators. Thanks.

Is BOSL2 using AI now? If so, that’s super disappointing. It’s an amazing library and I’d hate to abandon it but if they embrace AI I might need to.

I designed a set of 10 Christmas ornaments that can be 3D printed in vase mode for Printables’ Winter Holidays Decorations contest.

I knew when I started my design process that I wanted to design something that could be printed in vase mode.

Dear #OpenSCAD users: is there any way to define a real #Bezier curve with OpenSCAD ?

My current understanding is that there are functions for some geometric figures (straight lines, circles…) but not for Bezier. #BOSL2 provides Bezier helpers but apparently, they only approximate a curve with 16 straight segments, right ?

Does this mean I should stick to #FreeCAD if I want smooth and parametric Bezier curves ?

I made a chamber heater for my #Voron 0 using an old toolhead with #OpenSCAD and #BOSL2. While it lacks the power of a commercial heater, it maintains a chamber temperature of about 40°C in my garage, which is ideal for printing with PHA, a biodegradable and heat-resistant material!

After adding an auxiliary fan and a servo for a retractable nozzle cleaner, I have run out of available pins on my Fysetc Catalyst v2 board 😅

@moozer #BOSL2 is a game changer. Mind you it’s like adding another dictionary of things to remember but takes away the experimentation/guess work on things you want to have just work.

I don't want to trash a dust bag every few times my robot vacuum cleans the house, so I designed and 3D printed a reusable dustbin using #BOSL2, the famous #OpenSCAD library. The model requires no assembly or support! 😎

#3dprint #maker

I've split out some non-core #OpenSCAD aspects of the 507 into their own release: openscad_annotations (https://github.com/jon-gilbert/openscad_annotations) has all the shape annotation, mechanical annotation, #BOSL2 geometry abstraction, and part-numbering and part expansion aspects in a standalone set of libfiles.

Yes that's right, now YOU TOO can spend far more time than necessary organizing your #OpenSCAD projects by adding labels and arrows and delineating shapes into discrete parts!

The famous #OpenSCAD library #BOSL2 features a fantastic module for generating a cylindrical 3D surface from a 2D grid of values. I used it to design a lampshade for my son's bedroom 🤩

The 2D grids of values were generated by a program that converts images from .h exported files from GIMP.

#3DPrint #Maker

I'm really impressed by #OpenSCAD and #BOSL2! Check out this lampshade I designed in just about 20 lines of code. You can find the production files and sources here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/210882. For those curious about the magic of `sweep()` in BOSL2, dive into part 2 of my presentation slides from JDLL 2023 (in French): https://pretalx.jdll.org/jdll2023/talk/C9XN8T/

I was eager to create this model in anticipation of Printables.com Holiday Decoration contest. This project also introduced me to #BOSL2 with #openscad. Please give me a boost if you like it and let me know what you think! Thank you and Happy Holidays Everyone!

Today, I combined into a single project my two favorite hobbies: #MechanicalKeyboard and #3Dprinting. I designed new cases for my Model 100 keyboard, using #OpenSCAD and #BOSL2, and then printed them using PLA- CF filament on a textured PEI plate with a Bambu Lab X1C. No post-processing was necessary.

I designed with #OpenSCAD and #BOSL2 a #lithophane that not only showcases its beauty with a backlight but also retains a satisfactory appearance even without one — unlike, in my opinion, the majority of lithophanes 😎

I salvaged the optical motion tracking system (IC, lens, and LED) from a mouse PCB and reassembled everything into a compact 3D-printed enclosure designed with #OpenSCAD and #BOSL2. Additionally, I developed a driver for the IC as there is no open-source driver for the MX8650A yet. I'll reveal more details about the purpose behind this hack, but for now, it remains a secret project 🤫
