caSCADe lazy man library

thingiverse

My goal is to stop squandering time on silly mistakes like forgetting to write cylinder([L,W,H]) and improperly positioning items. I'll admit it: this library is designed to replace the cube() function entirely; it treats all basic solids (cubes and prismatic cylinder variations) with the same logic when it comes to placement (the cylinder is enclosed in the box defined by a cube of the same parameters). Elliptical cylinders are available, as well as "clavette" and hollow prisms. PARAMETERS fn - number of faces; 0 is a special case for the cube that defaults to this base "box" that encloses the solid. Same parameters as the cube() function. center - whether or not to center the solid on each axis; defaults to [true,true,false], which is the default behavior of the cylinder, while [false,false,false] mimics the behavior of the cube() function. oblong - do we treat an elongated cylinder like an ellipse (false) or as a hull() of two smaller cylinders (true, defaults)? zrot - makes sense only if "oblong" is on; the rotation for each of the two hull cylinders on their own z-axis allows you to create cool shapes and fix some issues. shell - defaults to 0, which means a full (non-hollow) solid; higher values will create an extruded tube. LIMITATIONS/FEATURES prism(5,[20,40,10],shell=5) != rotate([0,0,90]) prism([40,20,10],shell=5) the shell thickness is not always constant along the perimeter - patches welcome. rounded corners would be a great addition too.
