Hey all, if I want to create a bevel/fillet in these objects (basicaly we run a pensil in them for charting) https://i.imgur.com/1yTWKeV.png how would I do it? I current use an linear_extrude with a scale as a stop gap, but I wonder if there is an better way

<teepee>
rvt_: if you don't mind using experimental features, roof() might help, it's creating a 45° "roof" over a 2d shape
<rvt_>
I am perfectly fine with that.. I have 2021.01-RC5 , should I update?
<teepee>
what platform are you on?
<rvt_>
OSX
<teepee>
then I'd suggest to just have both 2021.01 release and the nightly snapshot around
<teepee>
for easy code sharing the release version to be safe :)
<teepee>
anything else the nightly build with some new stuff including the experimental features (to be enabled in preferences)
<rvt_>
ok, Ok will take a look at that! Thanks for the info
<teepee>
note that the nightly is also a universal build in case you have some fancy new M1
<rvt_>
he, back.. (was studying… exam on wednesday…)
<rvt_>
do I need include<ub.scad> ??
<J22>
rvt_ only if you want to use Roof() while roof() is a build in experimental feature
<rvt_>
gotcha...
<J22>
Roof(2,1.5) will give you a .5 linear_extruded vertical base with a 1.5 chamfer (and other option)
<J22>
Roof(2,[0.5,1]) will give you a bottom chamfer of 0.5 (which is against elephant foot when printing)
<rvt_>
The bottom one was really what I needed :) Lucky I do not have issues with the elephant foot…
<J22>
to have a distance for ink ? else it could change the size of the shape depending on the pen angle .. however the top bevel is better to print so just print it upside down
<rvt_>
I indeed need to bevel to compensate a bit for pensil chape, about 60degree’s would be okish..
<rvt_>
openscad does felel a lot more slugish… guess it uses a lot of memory?
<teepee>
the preview?
<J22>
Roof (deg=60) will give you a 60° chamfer
<teepee>
then with the nightly build, check all the *vbo* options
<J22>
that is a white image .. however try to change $fn=60 .. ( roof is experimental and can cause strange problems)
<rvt_>
It’s teh little circles I added… will see if I can do something else for that..
<rvt_>
yeaa, that is indeed a white image :D
<J22>
you can use linear_extrude(scale=[.6,.8]) for the rectangles and ellipses
<J22>
or LinEx(5,2,0,grad=[60,60],$d=[10,5])square($d,center=true); // with ub.scad

I kinda like the way how Roof worksm so I will play with that… I can also remove my little noches later with a boolean operation, then it would work...
