OpenSCAD multi part render script

thingiverse

This is a straightforward method of defining multiple output files in an OpenSCAD script and a shell script to render them. Where this comes in handy: * The view you're working on is different than what you want to print * You want to draw in 2D but preview in 3D * You are building a model with several parts that should be exported separately * You want to render at a higher resolution than you preview How to do it: * Download render_scad.sh, make it executable, put it somewhere in your $PATH * Look at test.scad for reference and add the relevant if statements to your scad script. The custom names you check for must end in .stl or .dxf * Call render_scad.sh file.scad * Output files are always placed in the same directory as the scad file is in
