kintel: I think the two issues we have for now are: 1) non-determinism related to manifold; 2) triangulation issue?
<pca006132>
(related to manifold)
<pca006132>
one not directly related to manifold but is important to fix: make extrude return a manifold mesh, I think we can use manifold extrude algorithm and modify it a bit here

Anything ground breaking in the last 2 days?

UltimateCodeWarr depends on your scope .. i can now connect my printer via lan and have updated the firmware - Ü
<UltimateCodeWarr>
That's a game changer!
<J24k78>
Yes i think i will buy now some AMS as this is now much more usefully as they can synchronize
<J24k78>
But honestly it makes no sense that you need to connect via account just to calibrate or update the firmware
<J24k78>
and further it is telling me that i can't browse the SD card for models or time-lapse - so i am using an FTP client for that - ridiculous!
<UltimateCodeWarr>
Yes, there is some really wonky behavior. Seems like their software development budget was slashed, but not as much as their testing budget.

Woah, this chat looks populated! Hi people!
<SynthBirba>
I was wondering, how many professional does use OpenScad? For now is my best tool

Hey everyone. I wonder if it is not possible to make a Function that gets 5 inputs and makes a curve. 5 inputs being CurveAround(1X,1Y,2X,2Y,CurveAngle). Has anybody ever done something like this before?
<cart_man>
In terms of connecting two polygon points with a curve
<J24k78>
cart_man you can write functions with as many variables you like

<J24k78>
UltimateCodeWarr i don't think this is about stealing - this seems to be more a business strategy that you are bound to their ecosystem - always logged in - printer is bind to your account
<cart_man>
J24k78: I try and then I have to do other things and when I come back I am not rusty but certainly not Math Integration level
<cart_man>
BTW I havea feature reqeust that I think might work well if OpenSCad can not already dot it. Lone standing Preview windows that can be snapped and unsnapped from the coding window. Just a thought
<J24k78>
cart_man what is it that you want to accomplish?
<J24k78>
undocking works, you just need to activate it
<cart_man>
J24k78: A lot of the time I use polygons to build things. It is easier to do for me. BUT a lot of the times I need to manually TRIM the curve which just never works out well. So I was wondering if some really experienced guys haven't already written a function that does that sort of thing. Ill psate my code and you will see.

InPhase before i saw the shape i thought this is something for inPhase .. but then a saw it was simple

cart_man: A math take on the problem: rotate_extrude() polygon(points=[each [for (a=[0:90]) let(x=18*cos(a), y=20+sqrt(10^2-10^2*(x/18)^(2.3-sin(2*a)))) [x,y]], [0,0], [18,0]]);
<InPhase>
But alas, I know of no great shortcuts to thinking about functional forms in that sort of manner. Intuition from significant practice.
<cart_man>
InPhase: You created the "gear_generator.scad" library right?
<cart_man>
Anyway I am off. Ill be back on tomorrow incase of interactions, Thanks for the help!
<InPhase>
Nope, never made a gear generator library. Although I've made a few gears and gear like things from scratch.
<InPhase>
Gears didn't yet appear much in things I find myself wanting to make.
<cart_man>
InPhase: I just do them all the time! ANd I have some thoughts that would be really cool for the maintainer of that lib
