Very happy with the print. I generated STLs for sleeves to hold a Singer 100ml oil bottle and a mini screwdriver set my daughter got me for Father's Day. They'd been sitting on a shelf on my #Multiboard, and I would knock them off (or knock something else off retrieving them) all the time. Now they've got their own little homes. ❤️ #3DPrinting #CAD

All that work, and MakerWorld's Parametric Model Maker doesn't properly apply the fix point cut so the bin can slide onto a Multiboard panel. Thingiverse is even worse -- they don't even support BOSL2, so it's a hard-cornered mess. I'll at least rest easy knowing I will get plenty of mileage out of the OpenSCAD script myself, and those who are so inclined can download the script and run it locally. MakerWorld's PMM is showing the fix point slot die as missing its back face, so it's a non-manifold object in their version of OpenSCAD. I've tried regenerating the polygons using an online converter multiple different ways (and again, it runs locally), but it's not panning out. Locally, the geometry looks pretty weird in preview, (the cut opens a hole into a hollow shell of the main body?) but the render turns out fine.

Well, I'll be damned. It took a few hours of messing around with masks, but I finally got there. That's a lot of labor for such a simple model; I can only imagine how complex it can get if you're making something more involved. Regardless, this should work just fine for parametric generation on #3DPrinting websites.

Seems like I'll be diving into this library tomorrow. It advertises what I need, and it's bundled in the MakerWorld parametric model maker, which is what I was hoping for. https://github.com/BelfrySCAD/BOSL2

For posterity, here are the fillets (first image) and chamfers (second image) I made in #FreeCAD.

I mean, I *sort of* get it... I would normally target edges or faces, but there isn't access to those in OpenSCAD. The offset hack I read about only works for 2D shapes that you extrude, which doesn't work for any of the fillets or chamfers I want to make in this model. Other solutions I've found cannot be steered (they target *everything* on the top or the bottom), they are janky (they attempt to automatically target where tool shapes meet), or they cause the render to take an hour.

Finished rebuilding a #FreeCAD model in #OpenSCAD to learn the ins and outs, only to find out that I can't fillet or chamfer my resulting object without some absolutely *ridiculous* tomfoolery involving offset hacks and other nonsense. Very disappointing.

Just tried for like 3 hours to get Honeykrisp working on Asahi and made *very* little progress. Ready to slam my face through drywall right about now. What's worse is the internet can't seem to agree as to whether or not it's already included in the installation... all I know is that (at least some) apps aren't seeing the Vulkan driver.

@drgroftehauge@sigmoid.social @lisamelton@mastodon.social @karlhigley@recsys.social Yes, I understand what most people think of when it comes to the capital A Algorithm. I also understand it's possible to do myself by fastidiously selecting and maintaining lists like a second job, and that software can do things. To my knowledge, no such feature exists in any client that I am aware of. Phanpy gets close, but not quite (and it's a very clunky experimental feature).

Well, my tenure at my current job ends at 9 AM tomorrow; I'm being laid off along with most of my company after an acquisition.

I'm a Staff Software Engineer. I've been working with CDK/TypeScript, FastAPI/Python, Docker, etc. but have a fair bit of experience in Kotlin and C# and I pick things up pretty fast. I have been running Linux at home on my daily driver since ~1998 as well as in my home lab since ~2002 or so. I am very passionate about system design, continuous integration/delivery pipelines, developer tooling, and smoothing the onboarding process for projects.

I live in the rural United States of America and I have no interest in relocating for an employer (or for any other reason, really). Let me know if you hear about anything or if your company is hiring; I would greatly appreciate it! 🙇
