I like to go through and open it all up when they're live. :)

hello
<JimbobPrints>
I was looking on the openscad website in the About section and it said something about taking a 2d picture and being able to create a 3d model and I was curious about how to do that.

I think if you run openscad with the -o outputfile.png option, you get a 2d picture. apart from that , openscad has a File->Export->Export ad Image menu.

yeah, I printed a little test doodle with that BOSL2 threads.. with a very fast and coarse print profile too
<t4nk_fn>
can't say that it would win any elegancy awards, but it's surprisingly strong and grippy
<t4nk_fn>
as far as functionality goes, this is probably more than enough
<J24k>
for connecting to existing threads you sure need it to fit - but for pure 3D printed connection there are better suited profiles like a linear_extrude(50,twist=960,$fs=.4,$fa=1)scale([1..25])circle(10);
<othx>

I'm so sick and tired of these stl files.. you can never just edit them
<InPhase>
t4nk_fn: Well you can do an ascii stl output.
<t4nk_fn>
thought I'd print the tip, and then cut a piece of the pen body
<t4nk_fn>
to see if it fit
<t4nk_fn>

<InPhase>
t4nk_fn: I switched us from ascii to binary stl output because they are 4 times smaller. But we kept ascii as an option for backwards compatibility and script support.

t4nk_fn: Just it might be a little tricky to manually keep the manifold properties if you go hacking things out of the file. But certainly it's easier with ascii than binary.
<t4nk_fn>
mmm but how would that work; at current I just took that imported pen body and tried to take a difference with a cube
<t4nk_fn>
not closed.
<InPhase>
t4nk_fn: Oh, you mean 3rd party stl files.
<t4nk_fn>
tried to 'repair' it in freecad.. still not closed
<InPhase>
t4nk_fn: Yeah, some of those are just non-manifold junk.
<t4nk_fn>
most of them :(
<InPhase>
meshlab sometimes succeeds at repair.
<InPhase>
I usually just reimplement things from scratch, as it's faster...

lol.. I'm too stupid for that, at least it won't be fast ;)
<InPhase>
A pen is a good learning project. It's mostly cylinders. :)
<t4nk_fn>
nice going, meshlab.. overwriting the original file without asking ;)

<t4nk_fn>
.... I'm going to print it.. and abort the print after a little while :))
<t4nk_fn>
take THAT!
<InPhase>
t4nk_fn: For everything else, there are hacksaws, epoxy, and duct tape.

... yeah, I think this might work in the end.. just a few more boxes of trials to print ;)
