16:15 <Guest39> How do I report that the download link on the web site seems to be broken?

16:18 <teepee> which one?

16:20 <Guest39> Any of the Windows installers

16:20 <teepee> then you have javascript disabled?

16:21 <Guest39> No.  Nothing on the internet would work without Javascript

16:21 <Guest39> https://files.openscad.org/OpenSCAD-2021.01-x86-64-Installer.exe

16:21 <Guest39> It says "This site can't be reached"

16:21 <teepee> works fine from here

16:22 <teepee> 2024-08-11 18:22:00 (19,1 MB/s) - ‘OpenSCAD-2021.01-x86-64-Installer.exe’ saved [21876824/21876824]

16:22 <teepee> can you open just https://files.openscad.org/ ?

16:23 <Guest39> No.  Same thing.

16:24 <Guest39> It's not blocked by region is it?  I'm in the US.

16:24 <teepee> not that I'm aware of, the server is located in germany as far as I know

16:24 <teepee> but there's no other reports of blockage I have heard so far

16:25 <teepee> so more likely some local stuff. running some sort of company VPN maybe?

16:25 <teepee> or antivirus blocking downloads by domain?

16:26 <Guest70> (I was Guest 39 a minute ago.  Just had to reconnect)

16:26 <InPhase> Or just any antivirus blocking download of an exe.

16:27 <teepee> you can see the last messages via https://bit.ly/32MfbH5

16:27 <Guest70> I tried us Nord VPN to route the request through a server in Germany and same issue.

16:27 <Guest70> You might be right about anti virus.  New PC so I'm having to reinstall everything.

16:27 <teepee> strange, if it would be just *.exe at least the folder view should work

16:28 <InPhase> Guest70: You should be able to keep your antivirus on to run it (a reasonable idea for Windows when downloading things, even though OpenSCAD should be perfectly safe, coming from our github build process). But you might have to check your antivirus settings to see if it blocks downloads of exe files.

16:31 <Guest70> OK, definitely something on my PC.  I logged into a Linux machine and was able to get it just fine

16:33 <Guest70> Odd.  The only anti virus I have is the built-in Windows defender.  It's like it's blocking that IP address specifically

16:33 <teepee> blocking the whole domain seems concerning, I *could* sort-of understand the exe download, even though I'm sure it's safe

16:33 <teepee> I had to fight microsoft 2 times receiving mails from a server hosted in the same datacenter

16:34 <teepee> even though it did have all the security stuff and validation setup correctly

16:34 <teepee> this really gets out of control as there's nobody who you can complain about this

16:34 <teepee> like 3 huge companies deciding what the world is allowed to see or not

16:35 <teepee> at least for the mail issue there is a form to get it fixed, although that is hugely annoying too as you have to create a microsoft account to complain :/

16:37 <orlando> hello, good afternoon. Somebody available for a question?

16:38 <teepee> hmm, I can only find posted telling how to add more ip addresses to the block list, but not how to find out if a specific one is blocked by default or some list of default blocks :(

16:39 <teepee> orlando: just ask, if someone can answer, we'll find out :-)

16:40 <orlando> I have a cylinder defined with a primitive 3d order, and a volume defined by a 2d surface extruded. When make the difference, and in a preview, all is fine... but when render, cilinder keeps the same. This is the code:

16:40 <orlando> module recorte() {

16:40 <orlando>     linear_extrude(height = 10.501, convexity = 10, twist = 0, $fn = 50) {

16:40 <orlando>         polygon([[0,0], [5,0], [5,4.92]]);

16:40 <orlando>         rotate(a = [0, 0, 120])

16:40 <orlando>             polygon([[0,0], [5,0], [5,4.92]]);

16:40 <orlando>         rotate(a = [0, 0, 240])

16:40 <orlando>             polygon([[0,0], [5,0], [5,4.92]]);

16:40 <orlando>     }

16:40 <orlando> }

16:40 <orlando> difference() {

16:40 <orlando>     // Volumen principal (ligeramente más alto)

16:40 <orlando>     cylinder(h = 9.6, r1 = 2.75, r2 = 2.75, $fn = 100);

16:40 <orlando>     // Recorte (módulo extruido, ligeramente más bajo)

16:40 <orlando>     translate([0, 0, -0.5])

16:40 <orlando>         recorte();

16:41 <orlando> thanks teepee

16:42 <teepee> pasting more than 3 or 4 lines does not work well on IRC, try putting that into a paste service and post the link

16:42 <teepee> paste?

16:42 <othx> paste is https://bpa.st for .scad files and other text like long error reports, https://pasteboard.co/ or https://imgur.com/ for images

16:45 <teepee> oh, that recorte() module has 3 things touching in a single point in the center

16:46 <teepee> that's a problematic case. I think it could work with the new geometry engine available in the development snapshots

16:48 <orlando> Do I transform those base triangles touching eachother  in separated figures?

16:48 <orlando> should, sorry

16:49 <teepee> if it's not a problem for the design, you could add a tiny circle in the middle maybe

16:49 <teepee> so it's not just touching anymore

16:49 <orlando> not a problem. I'll try. Thanks.

16:51 <orlando> It worked... thanks a lot!

16:52 <teepee> aha, nice

16:53 <orlando> I'll keep in mind this flaw... Are there other to keep in mind? or just try and check?

16:53 <orlando> Just to not bother people with begginer`s questions...

16:53 <teepee> touching faces can create issues, so the recommendation is to avoid those

16:53 <teepee> so if you join things, have a bit of overlap

16:54 <teepee> if you difference, cut a bit more, so it's really punching through, just like in the real world :-)

16:55 <teepee> people have wished to make that automatic, but it's way more difficult as it seems, so there's no general solution

16:56 <orlando> Again, thank you.

17:30 <J24k27> orlando using offset(0.001) can also help creating an overlap

22:05 <stealth_> is there going to be a new release anytime soon? looks like hasn't been on in few years. looking forward to faster rendering

22:59 <J24k27> just use the nightlies

23:00 <stealth_> J24k27, whats that?

23:01 <J24k27> https://openscad.org/downloads.html#snapshots

23:04 <stealth_> J24k27, thanks, will try it out

23:05 <J24k27> stealth_ you will need to activate manifold under preferences↦features for faster rendering

23:05 <stealth_> ok

23:35 <stealth_> default CGAL has different color rendering than fast-csg/manifold

23:37 <stealth_> i am just rendering `logo.scad` and flushing cache to try out

23:40 <stealth_> Also I would like to use sublimetext to code and have it render only preview on `build`, is there a way to do this? I have tried `/usr/bin/openscad --preview ./scad/test.scad` with no luck, it opens the whole openscad softrware

23:56 <teepee> https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSCAD_User_Manual/FAQ#I_don't_like_the_editor,_can_I_use_my_favourite_editor_instead?

23:57 <teepee> leave fast-csg disabled, it might interfere with manifold

23:57 <teepee> stealth_: ^

23:58 <stealth_> teepee, ok
