Geodesic dome, radius 30.00 mm, frequency 10

thingiverse

I run OpenSCAD 2016.03.10.nightly in Devuan Linux. I recommend using an earlier version of OpenSCAD, such as the 2015.03 release. The 2015 version introduced a font handling function called text(), which I utilized to generate 3D numbers in the letter_vertex() module as you see. module letter_vertex(s1=5, letter, p, p_offset=5, c1="black") { x = abs_add(p[0], p_offset); y = abs_add(p[1], p_offset); z = abs_add(p[2], p_offset); translate([x, y, z]) color(c1) rotate([90, 0, 45]) linear_extrude(height=0.5, center = true, convexity = 10, twist = 0) text(letter, size=s1, font="Courier"); } The main program is build_dome_parts.scad. Other scad files contain dome data. pydome_sorted.scad is for the frequency 10 dome. To create a frequency 2 dome, place dome_r30_f2_v38.scad in the directory and press F5. It will generate a simple dome. Naming convention of dome data file: r30 is radius 30.00 f2 is frequency 2 v38 is number of vertices is 38 dome_r30_f2_v38.scad I've been porting Geodome by Edward A. Falk, 2005 to Python 3.x and OpenSCAD. It is a sample dome generated by pydome. OpenSCAD handles the 3D graphics side to produce dome parts.
