#bosl2 — Public Fediverse posts

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 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 😎
