Reverse-engineering in action

thingiverse

This Mantis replica in OpenScad is a 'picture-based' creation, serving as the user's first advanced project. It offers parametric sizing options and adjustable x,y,z movements at the top of the file, along with limits. Notably, it won't break even if pushed beyond its limits. Although commented out for visibility purposes, the left side remains unseen. This venture has given the user a better understanding of OpenScad operations, with entertainment costs precisely met and a heartfelt thanks to OpenScad for three days of challenges and enjoyment. Future corrections may be made, but for now, it's back to physical objects. For those without OpenScad, it is readily available as a free download, accompanied by examples that serve as an introductory guide to programming objects.
