Another quicky, this is a parametric cable comb generator, built in #replicad.

I like building more elaborate parametric projects, but it's great to have a convenient tool to knock out these easy ones as well.

An extremely simple, parametric standoff generator, build in #replicad

I nearly did not bother making/publish this, but I end up using them on a lot of projects, so it's nice to have the configuration in one place.

I needed a small tray for my bathroom - it took me a few minutes to model, but now it will take me even less time.

There is some really cool new features being worked on in #SolveSpace, bringing it a tad closer to #codeCAD like  #OpenSCAD: named parameters and equation constraints. This will make gearing logic and several other things feasible.

Oh and there is a CAD program called Antimony that looks an awful lot like #codeCAD but with graphical interaction:

🧵 A short thread of me looking at #AntimonyCAD and comparing it to #sdfCAD 👇

TIL that there's #ImplicitCAD, a sort of #OpenSCAD dialect that's based on #SDF's, written in #Haskell. It's similar to #sdfCAD in many ways and has the sdf approach's smoothing powers, but also the same shitty meshes as sdfCAD 😅

Oh for christ's sake what is #pyvista doing here? Randomly moving the axis origins around when switching between rendering modes? How is one supposed to do #CAD like this? 🙄

I'm using pyvista to view the generated #sdfCAD models but shifting axes around is a pretty severe no-go for a 3D viewer. pyvista also recently started spitting out some weird vue2/vue3 errors... Are there any other good #STL viewers for #Jupyter?

#Python #codeCAD

I tried approaching a small #3dDesign project first with graphical #SolveSpace, but quickly got annoyed by all the clicky-draggy bits and complicated constraints and switched to #sdfCAD. I love its new auto-chamfering capabilities, making the design of such a clamping ring with #3dPrinting in mind a bliss in eight lines of #Python code - including boilerplate.
