Hallo all together,
I used the last weekend to hack an online library for OpenSCAD modules.
Why?
All my models are looking weired because i want to be fast so I simply use cubes and cylinders. No need for rounded edges or anything else. If i had a nice library, i could reuse all kind of stuff to make amazing models.
Examples for reusable stuff:
* rounded cubes
* fixation / clipping mechanics to stick multiple parts together
* making holes for mounting standarized parts
But thats not all :)
I made a precompiler application, that scans your scad models for functions with a certain pattern and automatically includes the corresponding sourcecode from the online library. You just need to specify your model directory once and the compiler watches out for changes.
Take a look: [seamless.invisibletower.de]
The sourcecode of the client (aka compiler) and the server is made in python and released under GPLv2. (plz fork and contribute :))
Compiler Code: [github.com]
Server Code: [github.com]
Currently, there are many issues, that prevents this programm from beeing "good". (see [seamless.invisibletower.de] issues chapter).
But I just wanted get opinions before investing too much time into this project.
Also it's biggest issue is: There is no content yet :D (except that arduino function)
What do you think?
Would you use it?
Try it! :)
Would you like to contribute? (see Issues)
Do you think this has a future?
If it don't work for you, please create an issue on [github.com] if your problem isn't there already
kind regards, Phaiax
