OpenSCAD Basic 3D Modelling Episode 030

Our redesigned PCB's need a new 3D printed enclosure. Today we explore OpenSCAD to design the terminal connector. This is the first of a three part set, beginning with the basics of primitive 2D shapes, code structure, and instructions like union, difference, translation and rotation. #3dprinting #cad #digitalelectronics 00:00 Objectives 03:11 OpenSCAD cheatsheet and Visual Studio Code Editor 04:32 Parameters vs variables 05:58 2D primitive: circle() 06:90 Extrusion: linear_extrude() 07:37 Translations and vectors: [x, y] 10:08 Lists: [0 – n] 12:47 Order of instructions 14:03 Instruction scope 14:30 $fn special variable 15:20 Subtracting solids using difference() 17:49 Combining solids using union() 19:40 Resolving overlapping faces 24:02 Rotating solids 26:29 Accommodating 3D printer limitations 29:24 $fa, $fs special variables 31:49 Parameter customizer Song: Koven - Looking For More [NCS10 Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://NCS.io/LookingForMore Watch: http://youtu.be/0dgMHYThYXw The BetterEnlightened journey; all episodes in order (YouTube playlist): https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8fx2PasT3iDHbZt3daNV69Nn2KMNSdC5 Arif K.
