Made a simple mod with #3dPrinting to my kids toy train.

He was desperate to have Daniel Tiger ride in this train. 10 minutes with #OpenSCAD and 20 minutes printing: ow Daniel can ride around in style.

I made this satisfying #3dPrinting project a couple of weekends ago.

I have a pair of sleek Peugeot Isen salt/pepper grinders. They work great but definitely a frustration object trying to fill. The salt/pepper needs to go into the centre hole only and if anything gets into the outer channel, you have to pick it out.

So, I measured it up and spent 20 minutes in #OpenSCAD then 20 minutes on the printer for a perfect fit into the outer channel.

Low-Poly Triskele Window design, after a construction published by Joumana Medlej, artist-scholar — https://majnouna.com/artist/

This piece is a true mathematical construction, but I deliberately made the arcs jagged to emphasize that the tools I use can only draw straight lines.

This is why I needed to know about √⅓ earlier today ...

Just released my first npm package for #OpenSCAD and it feels like a milestone! Run "npx scadder install [url-or-model-id]" to pull the respective scad (like the gridfinity-rebuilt-baseplate) from GitHub onto your local machine.

I started playing guitar 20+ years ago, I always repaired and set up my instruments myself, fiddled with electronics, swapped parts, and even built one guitar from scratch (DIY neck, DIY bridge, custom pickup) and thought I knew everything.
It turns out being a bedroom guitarist I barely scratched the surface. Only last year playing in a band for 4-5 hours once a week showed me how much nuanced setting up an instrument could be.
I've made the nut for my 8-string (bought originally as defective, stock nut unusable) so long ago, that it was designed in a pirated CAD software on Windows, can't believe I used to do things like that :D
And only recently I found out how bad the design was. So I've made a good parametric #OpenSCAD model, fine tuned to my needs, and printed it in polycarbonate.

Chtěl jsem vám napsat, jak jsem se naučil v #OpenScad udělat jednoduchý model pro #3dtisk

Potřeboval jsem totiž podložku pod náš nový reolink zvonek, protože nepřekrývá instalační krabici. Tak jsem se do toho pustil a když jsem měl kousek hotový, tak mě napadlo: "Dyť ses nekoukl na printables, jestli tam něco není...".

Long story short, cca 10 vymakaných modelů, spousty variant... Tak třeba příště 😅

@nina_kali_nina also happened to #BOSL2, a great library adding a lot of fancy stuff to #OpenSCAD.
Now, I have no moral ground to criticize, I'm in no way smart enough to contribute; and even for the things LLM-generations seem to be used - code formatting and grammar - well, I didn't contribute that either, so who am I to judge people who contributed using LLM?
Still, I found myself not using this library in my latest project somehow, so I guess I do criticize deeply inside :D

#Cracked #Relics

For this week's Creative Code challenge by @sableraph : “Cracked“, BrokenRelicsPuzzle is coded with #OpenScad & #SonicPi. Where five cracked Intergalactic relics have been found and we are trying to find the right combination to "crack" the code and find out what is in store for us.

#Poem
Cracked, Chipped, Broken
With the right combo
A Truth, unspoken
Shall be found and pronto
Broken Relic Puzzle
Once considered Rubble
Has been opened
But needs the right Kinetic
As the Relic Puzzle is Broken
But the right code, Unleashes the Relic
