Serious printing Bernd Thu, 27 Feb 2025 11:20:34 GMT No. 25522303 [Kohl] [Report thread]
Help me, Bernds. I'm doing a silly one-off project for a fren, and I'm doing well. I'm waiting for the fren to do some final measurements and stuff, and I'm ready for the last stretch. In the meantime I started to pimp to purple part, cause it's simplicity was an eyesore. My second take is much better, but I'm still not satisfied. It's curvy, it's smooth, it's not a straight line, but I find it vulgar. Here's what I came up with. Chicken legs won't do, cause it's ugly, and I want to route some wires on the back-side. The convex hull of 2 circles is simple and functional. The 3rd I made by adding a 3rd circle that kisses the other two, and I switch orbits. That's the golden printed one, the vulgar. The 4th is done with polynomial interpolation, and it's C^1 smooth. The 5th is much like the 4th, but it's C^2 smooth. Onions? Should I abandon the circle-pillars angle, and do it with splices all the way? That's a lot of control points. Should I use one big-ass polynomial, or do it piece-wise? What do I miss? What would Tengri do?

Here's the code. My tools are awful. Openscad as a programming language is a joke. Tell me about your tools, Bernd. Can you do nice curves without diddling coordinates and fiddling control points?
