scadlib - a library of OpenSCAD functions and modules

`scadlib` - A Collection of Useful OpenSCAD Functions and Modules. Don't Download from Here; Clone the Git Repository: https://circonflexe.cf/git/scadlib.git/ This is a library of OpenSCAD tricks. This is an ongoing project; the library will continue to evolve as new useful functions are added. The library currently contains the following files: | File | Description | | ----- | ------ | | `math.scad` | Functions and modules related to mathematics: complex numbers, geometry, hyperbolic trigonometry. (Heavily used in my [hyperbolic tiling library](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3548303)) | | `common.scad` | Basic functions used by a number of other modules: value tests, list functions, primitive regular-expression engine. | | `dim_arrows.scad` | Add labeled dimension arrows to objects. | | `modules.scad` | Operations on modules: fillet, contour, extrusion along various curves. | | `thread.scad` | Threads defined by a `rotate_extrude` operation. | The library also includes a few more specialized files: | File | Description | | ----- | ------ | | `articulate.scad` | Arbitrary articulated shapes. (Think Flexi-Rex, but now it is Flexi-Whatever.) | | `rails.scad` | Wooden train tracks (Brio/Lillabo compatible). | | `bricks.scad` | Construction bricks (Duplo compatible). | The images posted in this thing show some of the functions/modules included here: extrusion along a wavy shape, arbitrary object articulation, filleting, drawing of paths. Note that the specialized files (rails and bricks) are still quite incomplete. My long-term goal is to provide a “standard library” for OpenSCAD. I am not currently satisfied with MCAD, which I feel to be lacking in quality and in documentation in some places.
