OpenSCAD Stories - Fillet & Chamfer Part 1

[@kurtharlem]

It was nice the way the video included the mistake of using intersection() instead of difference(). Mistakes are realistic and make the journey more valuable.

that render looks beautiful too btw.

Rodney, I'm not sure you noticed the overhang of the chamfer at the outer edge of the box. I reduced the side of the chamfer by .3 to make it fit a little better. It should have stopped the curve inside of the box. rotate_extrude() translate([pipeRadius,0,0]) difference() { square([roundedRad - .3, roundedRad - .3]); translate([roundedRad - .3, roundedRad - .3]) circle(r = roundedRad-.3); }

Thank you, this was a big help! I wanted to add fillets without using a library. So that when someone downloads the file it works right out off the bat! I had issues where I was rotating the shape 90 degrees before rotate_extrude and the program didn't like that, wouldn't even generate. Once I figured that out it came together lol. Guess I miss understood how it worked, I thought you had to rotate the part onto x or y so that it could spin around the z axis but that's not the case. It seems to flip it for ya!

When is part 2 coming. This one is great

[@alienforce7688]

please make more openscad! tutorials please!

[@kevinstroud3472]

Long winded for that job, but good to know the long way round. I would have just done it with a rotate extrude in a difference out of a cylinder

[@VisorView]

I was thinking the same, I watched it all the way through in case I was missing something. $fs=100 difference union cube cylinder end union rotateextrude end difference Job done.

[@aritramukhopadhyay7163]

so... this is the easiest way to do that in scad! I thought there will be easier ways... like we do in solidworks/onshape etc...

[@VisorView]

There is a far easier way.

[@aritramukhopadhyay7163]

@@VisorView please enlighten me

[@magnuswootton7368]

i wish i did this programming first!!! but i spose i could have but i didnt think of it. coding structures is a cool idea but i didnt have them at first. (ideas)

would you increase the video and sound quality?
