The linear_extrude() module got an additional parameter "v" defining the direction of the extrusion (must be in positive Z direction).

linear_extrude(10 * sqrt(3)/2, v = [1, 1, 1], scale = 0.5) square(10);

Thanks @gsohler for the new feature https://github.com/openscad/openscad/pull/5080

The GUI just got some basic measurement tools for distances and angles.

For now, this needs the Manifold geometry engine enabled (see Preference -> Features) and a full mesh render (F6).

Have a look at the youtube video which gives a quick introduction.

@OpenSCAD I'm curious: Is there a plan to make Manifold on by default in the next stable release? I keep posting in various places how to enable the Manifold kernel. 😀

tinx,

@mcdanlj @OpenSCAD you guys are talking about development snapshots? As far as I can see, the last stable version is from 2021 😵‍💫

This years will start in a couple of hours. For a little bit of daily fun, head over to https://openscad.org/advent-calendar-2023/ where a new door will open at midnight UTC over the next 24 days.

A number of the designs have 3MF files for attached. If you find the time to print and post about those, please tag with .

Day 21 of , a Snub Dodecahedron, yes, that's the official name 😀 .

It's an Archimedean solid with 92 faces 12 of which are pentagons and the other 80 are equilateral triangles.

The 3MF file in the calender is probably not working well for FDM printers, we tried and failed. But maybe someone wants to accept the challenge.

New Book: "Make: Trigonometry".

The book is teaching concepts in trigonometry and basic analytic geometry using 3D printing and .

@OpenSCAD Pre-ordered! A substantial amount of my is math instructional aids for my favorite mathematician (to whom I am married 😁). I foresee more of that form of printing in my future!
