06:13 <J1A8480> inPhase some eastern ago i made these https://pasteboard.co/j1gRIga2IkO4.png  which look similar but are mathematically different - not just variations but different constructions  one has circle segments the other parabolas the other is scaled etc ..

06:14 <J1A8480> the bottom row are similar and mosh eggs consisting of circle segments

06:15 <J1A8480> moss's egg

06:21 <J1A8480> did yours is based somehow on the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superformula

12:39 <Guest42> Hi, everyone!

12:42 <InPhase> J1A8480: I should have saved the link I based mine on, because now I can't find it again, but some page had written a bunch of different options, and I looked for the one that appeared most prone to algebraic rearrangement plus parameterization. And one said: x^1.5-a^1.5x+y^2=0 showing that a set the horizontal length of the sideways egg. I swapped x and y to make it vertical, fixed a to 1, and

12:42 <InPhase> recognized the real parameter was the deviation of the ^1.5 from 2, and started playing with that. I saw valid values ranged from 1 to infinity with 2 as symmetric, and therefore I introduced 1+exp(asym) so 0 on my asym would be symmetric.

12:43 <Guest42> I am making a DN10, 15,20, 25,32 ISO flange... and the real measurements are 17.7mm, 22mm, 27mm... (no math relation) I need to make conversions based on the DN selection to optimize code. what is the best way you can think of?

12:43 <InPhase> J1A8480: So basically made up, but with a hint from a bunch of options on some web page.

12:45 <InPhase> Guest42: "make conversions" as in what? You mean map 15 to 17.7, 20 to 22?

12:48 <InPhase> Guest42: If you're used to thinking in Python terms or similar, here's some code I whipped up one day to produce dictionaries in OpenSCAD, along with some usage examples: https://bpa.st/AW6A Feel free to steal it. Consider it public domain or CC0 if you need a formal license.

12:51 <InPhase> Guest42: For an alternative mindset, here is an approach I used for thread pitches: https://github.com/rcolyer/threads-scad/blob/master/threads.scad#L13

12:52 <InPhase> Guest42: Here I did lookup because it gives exact values for exact inputs, interpolates for intermediate values (out of standard), and I have it extrapolating based on the trailing relationship for past the end.

12:54 <InPhase> There's a similar lookup table below that for the hex drive widths, although on reflection the interpolation is probably sketchier there and I should have done a round. (Not sure what I was thinking.)

13:00 <InPhase> J1A8480: If you're interested, I morphed the equation a little more last night after sharing it to give a little more variability down in the saturated end. I thought it might be interesting to flatten out the ends a little more at the extreme that had stopped varying. I'm not sure if that corresponds to any real birds though, since I was finding good fits on the existing stuff, but I figured why not.

13:01 <InPhase> :) https://bpa.st/AVIA

13:08 <J1A8480> Guest42 use a lookup table

13:17 <J1A8480> normally there is some mathematical connection but with exceptions like  dn+7 if dn>10

15:57 <BD> hello

15:57 <BD> Is this message working? Just testing my useability

15:58 <peepsalot> hello BD

16:00 <BD> Thanks !

21:32 <linext__> anyone here use KISSlicer?

21:33 <teepee> tried it years ago, but never actually used it

21:41 <InPhase> I have only one question. Is it still simple?

21:42 <InPhase> I guess not... https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-8pxmefx8r5/product_images/uploaded_images/c8475fffb58e1d227c4e9373f1b8ee00.png

21:43 <InPhase> Looks like Keep It Like Cura.

21:53 <Friithian> or just use cura lmao

21:53 <linext__> i'm thinking of dumping the hung process to compare the differences

21:53 <linext__> i already have Cura,slic3r,PrusaSlicer working

21:53 <linext__> http://jbcse.com/3dpartpricelib2/

21:53 <linext__> 3d part price v2

21:54 <teepee> aww, no 3mf :P

21:55 <Friithian> I use cura for the ultimakers I use, then makerbot *barf* print for the makerbots

21:57 <teepee> why do I get php code?

21:58 <teepee> is that the intended output? e.g. dumping the data arrays?

22:01 <linext__> https://ideone.com/yunG0B

22:01 <linext__> i just want kisslicer to open, slice, then close

22:02 <linext__> maybe i'll try running in docker in a linux container

23:30 <linext__> eh, no luck on linux

23:31 <linext__> somewhere there's a setting preventing php from running proc_open
