  • I use OpenSCAD extensively for production work. I picked it specifically for the ease of defining my own parameters (variables) and how quickly I can modify the values. I’m sure other tools do it as well, but being able to make lengthy calculations that include several other parameters which may themselves be based on additional parameters makes it’s perfect for my use. This allows me to make a single update for the thickness of each batch of material and have the entire multi part design updated and ready to be sent to production.

    Once you start thinking of it as a programming script (because it is) it becomes pretty easy to produce complex CAD models. Check out the cheat sheet, it’s a good resource that lists all the commands and structures at a glance.






  • The other branches are now controlled by the same far right groups who largely fall in line with what Trump (or his masters) demand. There are no checks and balances now. Congress will propose and pass any legislation he wants and the supreme court will find no fault with the legislation. The public does not have to go along with anything. They have now given full control to the far right who is in lock step with their plan to dismantle the US government and rebuild it to suit their own whims. The guardrails are gone, there is no protection now.
