Here's connected to the pipe in the actual location. Let's see if it works. If it does, I'll fix the little design flaw that makes it too loose on the #aircon's side (see the tape to keep it in place) and reprint it with a decent thickness.

Due to the #heatwave we decided to temporarily use an #airconditioner (we avoided until now due to environmental reasons). It does not make sense to buy one, so we borrowed a very old one from my dad. Unfortunately the adapters were lost, so I designed one in #openscad to connect the #aircon 's heat exaust pipe to a preexistent PVC pipe that was used to draw air from the kitchen and vent it out to the roof.

این @OpenSCAD چه جالب است! چرا نمیشناختمش؟ 

#OpenSCAD

Feeling very pleased with how my custom lighting controller came out. Each knob controls up to 6 parameters, which can be selected by pressing the buttons below. The left side controls color and the right side controls texture (motion and dynamics). This is for https://shade.city 's giant inflatable ring light, Halo.

It connects via ESPnow to a custom LED driver to drive addressable LEDs. You can save presets on NFC tags too.

(Yes the link on it doesn't go anywhere yet)

#openscad

Random 2AM find: The standard #openscad in your package manager is from 2021. The nightly has a new multithreaded renderer that is like 100x faster.
To print something onto a disc, I then place the disc onto the print bed and secure it in the center with a piece of tape. To prepare the gcode for the print job, I use #Inkscape, #OpenSCAD & #PrusaSlicer. I first create the label in Inkscape. All text needs to be converted to paths, so OpenSCAD uderstands it. I then load the exported SVG into OpenSCAD and extrude it slightly with linear_extrude, so it is exactly the height of a printing layer. The result is then sliced and sent to the printer.

I forgot how much fun designing this project was... 3D Printed Component Holder:

@dbauer #SolveSpace feels a bit like something between #OpenSCAD (ultra solid workhorse, approachable in an interesting way, though limited in annoying places) and #FreeCAD (ridiculously powerful, but complex, thus massive learning curve, also crash-prone).
TIL:
#openSCAD umí udělat projekci, vyexportovat ji do DXF a přes třeba LibreCAD se dá pak okótovat a udělat z ní výkres 👀
🤔 Ah, yes, because nothing screams #innovation like using a $500 3D printer to replace the age-old skill of #handwriting postcards! ✍️😂 Who knew the future would be full of pen-stabbed printer beds and the clunky charm of OpenSCAD? 🖨️📬

Writing Postcards With a 3D Printer

I read Amy Goodchild’s blog post about digitizing her handwriting in JavaScript a while ago and couldn’t stop thinking about it. I didn’t end up digitizing my own handwriting, but it pushed me toward a smaller idea: clamp a ballpoint pen to my 3D printer and let it write postcards for me. This post is the story of getting there, including the part where my printer almost drove the pen straight through the bed.
