03:53 <t4nk_fn> https://postimg.cc/gallery/ZRHNyzF Scopeuk .... this one fit my print bed by the skin of my teeth, :)

08:10 <Scopeuk> nice, guitar stand?

09:32 <t4nk_fn> nono, those are 'ergonomic' thingies, so you don't need a foot stool

09:37 <t4nk_fn> I've had the original for many years, but it was quite dangerous and the metal damages the guitar

12:27 <J24k13> didn't anyone think it is super  annoying that something like this will freeze the system? https://bpa.st/HDTQ

12:28 <J24k13> (for 1 minute)

12:29 <J24k13> just to tell you that you missed a "s"  .. and this is harmless i have code that freezes much longer so you kill the process

12:30 <J24k13> teepee inphase there must be some better way to deal with those errors - can't the parser check for variables?

14:20 <pca006132> J24k13: which version are you using?

14:20 <pca006132> it prints a bunch of warnings in the log immediately with the current master

14:22 <pca006132> the parser can check for undefined variable, but iirc the default behavior is to continue... maybe it is possible to change the default behavior

15:15 <J24k13> pca006132 2024.6.25 guess i'll have to update then

15:16 <J24k13> thanks for checking!

15:59 <Guest27> Hey all, is there a way to show dimensions in OpenSCAD?

16:22 <J24k13> Guest27 OpenSCAD uses units - you decide what they are but when exporting 3mf or svg they will be mm

16:22 <J24k13> the nightly dev has a measurement tool to show .. else you have the axis gradiation

16:23 <J24k13> what is it exactly you looking for or trying to do?

16:38 <Guest27> Lets say I have a 3d bench and I center a 3d tool on the bench.   The tool has a protrusion and I want to show the distrance from the front of the bench to the protusion.

16:42 <Guest27> I'm guessing what I would like is to draw a line from the bench front to the protusion and have OpenSCAD display the number of units.

16:42 <Guest27> is there a way to draw a line from object to object?

16:44 <Guest27> Then display the length of that line?

18:17 <TylerTork> Is there a way to automatically copy all the current Parameter values from the Customizer into the code? Frequently I'll write some code with parameters and I tweak the values until it looks like what I want to default to be, then I want to be able to say OK here is the new default then.

18:20 <teepee> TylerTork: no, but that sound like an interesting feature

18:52 <InPhase> Yeah, that would raise the value of the customizer.

18:53 <InPhase> I flat out avoid it because I almost ALWAYS want to save the results of my fiddling around. :)

18:56 <InPhase> TylerTork: That would be worthy of opening an issue to record that idea, with "Type: Enhancement" and "Tag: Good First Issue".

18:57 <InPhase> Hmm. Maybe not "Tag: Good First Issue"... It might be a little nuanced to find the right code spot to edit.

21:03 <kintel> Speaking of "stop on the first warning": The Advanced tab in preferences is getting a bit out of hand, and doesn't really represent "Advanced" settings. It would be nice to rework preferences a bit now that we have enough material to work with. It might be a bit of a thankless job though as it doesn't really add any features, just improves usability. It's also tricky to come up with a good subdivision..

21:07 <teepee> yeah, plus the stop on first warning behavior is also not ideal
