path_extrude with scaling
thingiverse
I thoroughly enjoyed gringer's path_extrude function but I really needed a way to scale along the path. Fortunately, halfshavedyaks' remix provided some inspiration although I encountered problems when creating a full loop as the profile would flip so that it was oriented with the original profile again upon reversing direction. To resolve this issue, I found it more efficient to incorporate HSY's simple scalepoints2D function into gringer's original code rather than attempting to fix the flipping problem. 2019-01-27: Version 2 added scaling in both X and Y directions. 2019-05-16: Version 3 introduced a new safeCap argument which enables capping of your potentially non-planar, float-imprecise profile with triangles thereby ensuring safe compilation on older versions.
