00:54 <InPhase> Yeah.

00:54 <InPhase> And sure, I'll look at a pastebin of it if you want to share.

00:55 <InPhase> I can't promise advice or not until I see it. But might have some. :)

06:43 <J1A84> probably doesn't get much faster then this https://pasteboard.co/NwhHLURMaZrG.png

06:51 <J1A84> but seems something in SCAD doesn't like the way i build the polyhedron https://pasteboard.co/jzIzf2tbVzfY.png

06:53 <J1A84> but why is that mesh not closed?

09:04 <Scopeuk> To borrow a cheap trick from the photography guys, a mechanical egg timer makes for a good rotating table for getting multiple angles

09:04 <Scopeuk> Wrong channel, appologies

14:09 <J1A84> Total rendering time: 0:00:00.682   https://pasteboard.co/jmmzmOM45ySB.png

14:13 <buZz> J1A84: writing braille? :D

14:14 <J1A84> yes, as polyheadron letter boxes   .. as  lauraaa asked for speed up the render

14:14 <buZz> nice :)

14:14 <buZz> could use it for stamping

14:15 <J1A84> you mean like this https://www.printables.com/model/233328-braille-embosser

14:15 <buZz> yes!

14:16 <J1A84> if i understood this right lauraaa made a process to convert texts (not just a few letter) into braile for 3D print

14:16 <buZz> nice :)

14:25 <J1A84> rendered 200 character in under 1sec

14:26 <J1A84> with overlap its 27sec

14:35 <J1A84> looks like an old tron movie https://pasteboard.co/s7YYte5wiKta.png

14:54 <InPhase> J1A84: For comparison, how long is it taking with your old rotate_extrude braille trick?

14:56 <InPhase> We could also devise a method to get large numbers of smooth braille dots out of a single polyhedron, but first prove it's computationally needed. :) Second step would be to figure out what is a sensible way to specify the input. Then that would drive the design of how to think about it.

15:08 <J1A84> preview was just 1.225 sec

15:08 <J1A84> render  33.6 sec  for separated

15:12 <J1A84> connected 37sec  and resolution is above printable

15:15 <J1A84> InPhase so the union is taking the time - assume ONE polyhedron with all characters would also render under 1sec - maybe need 2sec for generation.

15:20 <J1A84> oh lazyunion was on .. ok connected takes a bit longer

15:24 <J1A84> much longer Ü

15:25 <J1A84> 5min 40sec

15:27 <J1A84> not sure if 200character is a mark  as most board/signs will have under 20

15:46 <teepee> InPhase: can you check if you see an approve button for https://github.com/openscad/openscad-lists/pull/16 ?

15:46 <InPhase> 200 is 2-3 lines of text, which one could put on a wall sign marking certain information.

15:46 <teepee> testing the approval + auto-merge feature

15:47 <InPhase> teepee: Sure.

15:47 <teepee> thanks, J1A84 has put the first 2 eyes on it, there's 2 approvers configured but I can't approve my own PR :)

15:49 <teepee> hmm, looks like it only makes the merge button green :(

15:49 <InPhase> Standard corruption recipe: Change the rules, do what you want, and change them back. ;)

15:49 <InPhase> But yeah, I had a pending review there with approval button.

15:49 <teepee> not even needed, admins have a checkbox to "merge anyway", you should have that too

15:50 <InPhase> Yeah, I saw a red button for that.

15:50 <InPhase> So did that not work the way you wanted?

15:51 <teepee> only partially, the "need 2 approvals" is fine, but it looks like the auto-merge needs some more setup

15:52 <teepee> if that works we could setup more people for approval who do not need access to the repo itself, e.g. for gallery pages, library lists whatever ends up in that repo
