I'm looking for a design for a keyhole cutting jig for a Dremel rotary tool. I want to be able to easily adjust the center-to-center distance of the keyhole slot. The jig should have a base with a guide for the Dremel's router attachment and registration pins to keep it aligned during cutting. I'd like the design to be parametric, so I can specify the slot length, and that parameter should be clearly labeled on the physical part.

Specifically, I envision the jig to have these features:

*   A main body with a circular or semi-circular shape to accommodate the Dremel router attachment's base.
*   A central slot or channel that guides the router bit for the keyhole slot.
*   Two registration pins that will fit snuggly into pre-drilled holes to keep the jig steady and in the correct position during cuts. These pins would need to be set at a specific distance from the center of the keyhole slot. The pins should also include a "mirrored" set of pins on the opposite side of the central guide channel.
*   The slot length (center-to-center) should be adjustable via a parameter, let's call it `slot_length`.
*   The value of `slot_length` should be clearly and legibly printed (perhaps using `text()`) on the jig itself after the model is rendered.
*   The design should be able to be customized in OpenSCAD using the customizer feature.
*   I'd like to use the hull() function for the bodies to get smoother, rounded edges, as I saw in another example that used this technique.

Could you generate an OpenSCAD file or files for this jig? I'm not expecting you to use any particular external libraries, but if you do, please let me know which ones you've used.

I'd like to design a parametric clamp, something I can 3D print. The core of it is a circle with a cutout, and then some kind of gripping feature within the cutout. I'd also like to be able to control the thickness and the overall diameter of the circle.

Here's the breakdown:

*   **Core Shape:** The main body should be a cylinder, essentially a thick ring.
*   **Circular Diameter:** I need a parameter, let's call it `d1`, that sets the outer diameter of the ring.
*   **Thickness:** Another parameter, `t`, should control the thickness of the ring. So a smaller `t` means a thinner ring, making the clamp less rigid. This should also influence the depth of the cutout.
*   **Cutout:** The ring will have a rectangular cutout to allow it to flex and grip.
*   **Gripping Shape:** Inside the rectangular cutout, I need different gripping shapes to choose from, selectable with a parameter I'll call `shape`:
    *   `shape = 0`: A simple flat bar, the width of which is controlled by the `clerance` parameter.
    *   `shape = 1`: A rounded shape, with a small circle on each side of the bar that is controlled by the `clerance` parameter.
    *   `shape = 2`: A toothed shape, essentially two overlapping squares rotated. The size is controlled by `t` parameter with a small shift controlled by the `clerance` parameter.
*   **Clearance:** This parameter, `clerance`, should influence the width of the flat bar and the gap in other `shape` options.
*   **Cut Out**: I also want two cuts running perpendicular to the main cut out along the diameter of the part which are based on the t parameter.

I'd like to make sure it's easy to modify these using the OpenSCAD customizer. I'd really appreciate it if you could generate an OpenSCAD file for this. I'm not using any special libraries.

I'd like to create a cock ring design in OpenSCAD. The basic idea is a torus with some spheres on it.

I need two parameters: `d1` which should control the inner diameter of the ring, and `d2` which sets the thickness of the ring.

The ring itself should be made with a `rotate_extrude` of a circle, offset from the center of rotation to create the toroid shape. The circle that is being extruded should have a diameter equal to `d2`, and the offset from the center of rotation should be `d1/2 + d2/4`.

Then, I need a number of spheres placed around the ring. They should have a diameter equal to `2/3 * d2`. I'm thinking they should be spaced out evenly around the circumference. I'd like the center of each sphere to be positioned at a radius of `d1/2` from the center of the ring.

For now, I think twelve spheres is sufficient.

Hey, I'm looking to get some custom license plates designed for some toy trucks I'm 3D printing. I've seen a design that works well, but I'd like to have a parametric version so I can easily customize them with different text and dimensions. The design should include a base plate with rounded edges and a text extrusion on top. The text should be centered, but I want to be able to control the font size, text, horizontal spacing, and vertical positioning of the text.

Specifically, the license plate should have a main rectangular body with a thickness, length, and width that I can set. The edges of this rectangle should be rounded. There should also be some rectangular "legs" that extend from the back of the license plate body. These legs should be able to be set with their own width, length, and height parameters, with a small gap between the legs and the license plate body. Finally, I need a text extrusion on the top surface of the plate. This text should be centered both horizontally and vertically on the base.

I’d like to be able to control the following parameters:

*   **plate\_length**: The length of the main license plate body.
*   **plate\_width**: The width of the main license plate body.
*   **plate\_thickness**: The thickness of the main license plate body.
*   **edge\_radius**: The radius of the rounded corners of the license plate body.
*   **leg\_width**: The width of the rectangular "legs".
*   **leg\_length**: The length of the rectangular "legs".
*   **leg\_height**: The height of the rectangular "legs".
*   **leg\_gap**: The gap between the license plate body and the "legs".
*   **text\_string**: The text to be displayed on the license plate.
*   **font\_size**: The size of the text.
*  **font**: The font family used for the text
*   **text\_spacing**: The horizontal spacing of the text.
*   **text\_vertical\_offset**: The vertical offset of the text from the center of the license plate body.
*   **text\_thickness**: The thickness of the text extrusion

Could you generate an OpenSCAD file that I can use to create this kind of parametric license plate? I don't need to use any external libraries - just the base OpenSCAD functions should be enough.

Hey there, I'm looking to create a parametric sifting tray using OpenSCAD, and I've got a basic idea but need help turning it into a functioning design. I want a system where the sifting grate is separate from the box, so I can swap out different grates with varying gap sizes.

Specifically, I want two main parts: a box that holds the grate and the grate itself.

**For the Box:**

*   I need a rectangular box with adjustable width and length.
*   The depth of the box should also be adjustable.
*   The box should have a solid base and walls with a configurable thickness.
*   I need some tolerance built in so that the grate can slide in and out without being too tight (also configurable).

**For the Grate:**

*   The grate should also be rectangular, designed to fit inside the box.
*   I want the grate to have a series of long, parallel "wires" separated by gaps, rather than a square grid.
*   The width of the gaps between the wires should be adjustable.
*   The thickness of the wires themselves needs to be configurable, and they should be slightly rounded, perhaps like a hexagonal rod, to guide objects through the gaps.
*   The grate should be supported by the sides of the frame (the box) and a central support beam.

I want to be able to adjust all of these dimensions parametrically: the width and length of the box and grate, the depth of the box, the thickness of the walls and the base of the box, the tolerance for the grate to fit, the gap width between the wires, the thickness of the wires, and the thickness of the outer frame and central support for the grate.

Could you generate OpenSCAD files for this? I'm not picky about the precise structure of how you organize the parameters, as long as they're easy to adjust. I'm looking for a solution that is all original code, without relying on code from the attached examples. I don't need to get every feature of the original design, just the core parametric functionality.

Oh, and by the way, I don't want to use any external libraries for this.

Hey, I'm looking to create some custom enclosures for electronics projects, and I'd really appreciate some help designing the OpenSCAD files for them. I need to be able to make boxes with rounded corners, internal mounting points for PCBs, and the ability to add cutouts for things like displays, buttons, and connectors. I've got a few examples to illustrate what I'm going for, but I'm hoping we can build something more flexible from scratch.

First, the basics: I need to be able to specify the overall width, depth, and height of the box. I also need to be able to specify the wall thickness and the radius of the rounded corners. It would be great if the generated box and lid didn't require supports to print, and didn't require screws to assemble. The lid should have some kind of integrated 'dent' feature, so it will lock onto the main box.

For mounting a PCB inside, I need to be able to define the x and y coordinates of the mounting points, the height of those mounting points (how far above the floor of the enclosure they will be), and the spacing in x and y between the mounting holes, as well as the hole diameter for the mounting screws. These mounting points would be like a small cylindrical peg, with the screw hole going right through the center.

Finally, I need to be able to create custom holes on the surface of the box. These should be defined by their x, y, and z coordinates. I'd like to be able to make rectangular cutouts and also rounded droplet-shaped cutouts.

I'd like to have the box and the lid as separate modules so they can be scaled differently to accommodate any tight tolerances.
The code should be parametric, and use standard modules, as I'm not proficient at all with OpenSCAD and I'd like to avoid having to write complex code.

One of the examples I've got adds ventilation holes on the sides of the enclosure. So if possible, I'd also like to add an option for adding those, defined by their width and height. It would be nice to have a single venting hole module, that is then instanced in the appropriate sides. It should consist of little rounded rectangles, spaced to create a grill.

If it's helpful, I can share the .scad files I've been using as a starting point. Let me know what you think and if you have questions.

I need a parametric cable clamp generator in OpenSCAD. I'd like to be able to control the following:

*   **`Width`:** The overall width of the clamp, along the axis of the cable.
*   **`Hole`:** The diameter of the screw hole for mounting the clamp.
*   **`Diameter`:** The inner diameter of the clamp, where the cable will sit.
*   **`Flap`:** The length of the side "arms" that wrap around the cable.
*   **`Wall`:** The thickness of the clamp material.
*   **`Space`:** The size of the gap between the two flaps when closed.

It's important that these parameters are easily adjustable, perhaps using the customizer. And the design should be like the description provided. The hole should not be bigger than the width minus 2, and the flaps should be greater or equal to the wall thickness plus the diameter, and the opening space should not be greater than the diameter.

I'd prefer it if you did not use any libraries if possible.

Thanks!

I'd like to design a custom d20 die for a magic 8-ball, and I'm looking for an OpenSCAD design that allows for easy text customization on each face. I'm planning to print this in two halves to avoid supports, so I'll need a way to split the design, and I would like to be able to control which half is rendered. I'd also like the text to be multi-line and relatively customizable.

Here are the specific requirements:

1.  **D20 Geometry:** I need a standard icosahedron shape for the die.
2.  **Text Customization:** Each of the 20 faces should have a customizable text block, with multiple lines if needed. I should be able to specify the text for each face.
3.  **Text Rotation:** Each text block should be able to be rotated 0 or 180 degrees to fit on the die face correctly. I don't want to rotate the face itself.
4.  **Text Size and Depth:** I need to be able to control the text size and depth so that it's visible but not too intrusive.
5.  **Splitting for Printing:** The design needs to be split into two halves, using a flat plane. I'd like to control the height of this plane.
6.  **Top/Bottom Selection:** I need to be able to choose whether to render the top half or the bottom half of the design separately for printing.
7.  **Parameters:** I'd like to be able to change the edge length of the d20, the text size, and the text depth through parameters.

I don't have a specific OpenSCAD file that I'm trying to modify, so I need the whole thing built from scratch. I'm not sure if this is possible, but it would be great if you could generate the necessary code. I'm comfortable with standard OpenSCAD and don't require any libraries.

Hey, I'm looking for some help creating an OpenSCAD design. I want to make custom cases for board game tokens, and I'd like it to be parametric so I can easily adjust it for different token sizes. The cases should have a top and bottom part that fit together.

Here are the specific things I need:

**Token Shape Options:** I'd like to be able to make cases for rectangular, circular/oval, hexagonal, and triangular tokens.

**Token Dimensions:**
*   **wToken:**  The width of the token or the side length for hexagons/triangles (in mm).
*   **lToken:** The length of the token (in mm), ignored for hexagons and triangles.
*   **hToken:**  The height or thickness of the token (in mm).

**Case Parameters:**
*   **rimWidth:**  The width of the rim on the top part of the case that holds the token in place (in mm).
*   **innerTolerance:** The distance between the token and the inside wall of the case on each side (in mm). This should allow for a snug fit.
*   **outerTolerance:** The distance between the top and bottom case when joined.
*   **rimThickness**: Thickness of the rim on the top case.
*  **gWallWidth:** Thickness of the walls of the case.
*  **gNotchWidth**: The width of the notch feature on the top case.
*   **gSeparator**: Distance between the two parts horizontally, to prevent overlap.

**Features:**
*   The top part of the case should have a rim to hold the token and a notch on one side to help with opening it.
*   The bottom part should fit snugly with the top part.
*   The design should be parametric, so changing the parameters will automatically update the generated case.

I'm thinking that the top piece should be slightly shorter, with the walls not going all the way to the height of the token, plus a rim and the bottom piece slightly taller. There should be a small tolerance where the parts meet and a small amount of vertical separation.

I'm not really familiar with libraries besides the basic OpenSCAD functionality. I'm hoping you can handle all the necessary geometry from scratch. I'm looking to get the SCAD file(s) for the parametric design. I can provide feedback as you go along. Thanks!

Hey, I'm looking to design a pepper grinder funnel, and I'd like some help creating the OpenSCAD files. I've been working with a previous version, but I'd like to start from scratch with a new parametric design.

The funnel needs to have a few adjustable parameters:

*   **Wall Thickness:** I need to be able to set the wall thickness, ideally as a multiple of the extrusion width, and I'd like to be able to specify a small value like 0.01 to prevent slicing errors.
*   **Tolerance:**  There should be a tolerance parameter for holes, which should be adjustable from 0 to 3 in increments of 0.1.
*   **Grinder Opening Diameter:** This should define the diameter of the base opening, where the funnel connects to the grinder. I need to have the option of setting the value without tolerance and then applying tolerance separately.
*   **Grinder Opening Height:** The height of the vertical portion of the base before the angled funnel begins.
*   **Grinder Screw Diameter:** The diameter of the screw in the grinder, which should also have a tolerance parameter.
*   **Funnel Top Interior Diameter:** The interior diameter of the top of the funnel.
*   **Funnel Angle:** The angle of the funnel from the horizontal, with a reasonable range from 15 to 75 degrees.
*   **Concentric Funnel Option:** I need a way to choose whether the top of the funnel is concentric with the base, which can save on material. This needs to be a simple yes/no choice.
*   **Shaft Guide Option:** The design needs to include an option for a shaft guide at the grinder base (again, a simple yes/no choice).

The design should consist of two main modules:

*   A base module for the grinder connection.
*   A module for the angled funnel.

The funnel should be created by taking the difference of two cones, to create the walls.
The base should also create the shaft guide when requested.

Could you generate the required OpenSCAD files with these parameters, please? Thanks!

I need a parametric OpenSCAD design for a radiator foot cover, and I'd like it to be flexible enough for different radiator setups.

The cover itself will be a rounded rectangle with a cut-out in the center for the radiator foot. I'd like to specify the following dimensions:

*   `cover_length`: The overall length of the cover.
*   `cover_width`: The overall width of the cover.
*   `height`: The height (thickness) of the cover.
*   `roundness`: The radius of the rounded corners of the cover.
*   `cutout_width`: The width of the cut-out for the foot.
*   `cutout_length`: The length of the cut-out for the foot.
*   `radius`: The radius of the rounded corners of the cut-out. I need this to be configurable, so that the cut-out can have square corners if this is set to 0.
*   `wall_thickness`: The thickness of the material around the cut-out.

Additionally, I'd like the option to generate a connector piece separately, which would attach to the side of the cover. If the connector is generated, then the main cover should include a rectangular cutout that the connector will fit into. The connector would have the following parameters:

*   `generate_connector`: A boolean (true/false) to control whether the connector piece is generated, and a connector cutout generated in the main cover.
*   `connector_length`: Length of the rectangular part of the connector.
*   `connector_width`: Width of the rectangular part of the connector.
*   `connector_diameter`: Diameter of the cylindrical parts of the connector.
*   `connector_thickness`: Thickness of the rectangular part of the connector.
*   `connector_height`: Height of the connector.
*   `fit`: A scaling factor for the connector, to allow for tolerances.

I'd also like the design to use the `minkowski()` operation for generating rounded rectangles, and `difference()` and `union()` for creating the final shapes. I'm hoping you can generate all the necessary SCAD files, without needing any external libraries.

Hi! I'm looking to create a 3D printable design that's kind of like a twisted, layered star pattern. I've been playing around with some code, but I think it would be easier if I could start from a fresh, well-organized parametric version.

Basically, I want a central shape composed of multiple rings, where each ring is made up of several polygons arranged in a circle. I’d like the rings to be extruded upwards, and the extrusion should have a twist to it. Further, I want to be able to create another extrusion that is twisted in the opposite direction. Finally, I want to cut a circular hole through the center of the whole shape.

Here are the parameters that I think I need to control:

*   **`PolygonSides`**: The number of sides for each polygon in a ring (e.g., 3 for a triangle, 4 for a square, etc.).
*   **`Cwidth`**: The diameter of each polygon (and the effective diameter of the ring) in millimeters.
*   **`Coff`**: The offset distance of each polygon from the center of the ring. I think this should be equal to `Cwidth/2`.
*  **`Cheight`**: The height of the extruded shape in millimeters.
*   **`NumOfRings`**: The number of rings in the overall shape.
*   **`Twistiness`**: The amount of twist applied to the extrusion, in degrees. This parameter should be able to control both a positive and negative twist.
*   **`CutoutD`**: The diameter of the central cutout in millimeters.
*   **`Linewidth`**: The width of the line forming the top surface of the ring.
*  **`Growth`**: A scaling factor applied to the extruded rings which controls its rate of growth from bottom to top.
*  **`fn`**: A variable that controls the resolution of curved shapes.

I think I'd like the design to be done using modules, so that each aspect of the shape is separated out. The main module called "shape" should do the difference with the center cutout and union of the twisted extrudes. There should be an "extrude" module that extrudes the pattern with the twist, scale, and height. The "pattern" module will generate the ring pattern, and the ring module should generate a single ring.
The final render should be rotated 180 degrees on the x axis and translated by the negative value of the `Cheight` parameter along the z axis.

Could you generate the OpenSCAD code for this? I'd prefer to keep it self-contained if possible, so please don't rely on any external libraries like MCAD or BOSL.

I need an OpenSCAD design for a bracket that will let me mount a Viltrox L116T or L132T LED photo light onto an existing workbench lamp. I have the original bracket, but I want to attach this to the existing lamp using a clamp mechanism that will grip onto a round bolt.

The design should include:
*   A central portion that the existing photo light bracket attaches to. This needs to be able to accommodate the two screw holes and the two locator pins used on the photo light. I can get the exact dimensions if needed, or you can make it parametric. Let's call this the "light mount".
*   A "clamp" structure that wraps around a round bolt on the existing lamp and grips it tightly. This "clamp" structure will be separate from the light mount and be connected by a couple of bars, and it should clamp onto a circular rod with a variable diameter -- I'd like to be able to specify the bolt diameter parametrically.
* The "clamp" should also have a way to be tightened. Let's have that be two screws, one on each side, that pull the halves of the clamp together. The screws should be countersunk.
*   The clamp needs to be very strong. I plan to print in PLA so I'd like it to be designed with relatively thick sections.

Specifically:

*   The diameter of the bolt that the clamp attaches to, needs to be a variable (`mount_dia`). Default should be 11.1mm.
*   The thickness of the main structure is controlled by a variable `slice` with a default of 2.0 mm.
*   The space between the layers that make the main structure is controlled by a `space` variable with a default of 2.2 mm.
*   The length of the bars that connect the light mount to the clamp is controlled by the variable `tlen` with a default of 11.0 mm.
*   The clamp itself should be of variable width to support a large bolt diameters and the `extra` variable controls this extra width, which depends on the `mount_dia` variable. The `extra` variable should be the maximum of 15.0 and `mount_dia` less 15.0.
*   The main body that attaches to the photo light should have layers created with the `slice` and `space` values to provide depth and rigidity.  The center of the light mount needs to be able to mount to the original bracket, so those holes need to be accounted for, and the original bracket does not have a cylindrical part.
*  The clamp needs a hole for mounting onto the bolt, and there are also four screw holes - two for mounting the screw of the light mount and two for the two screws in the clamp.
* The main body is built by layering of two cylinders and a rectangle shape to achieve the light mount and a cylindrical part is used for the tightening holes.
*   Use M3 countersunk screws for the light mount and clamp.
*   Use M4 nuts for the clamp tightening screws.

I'd prefer if you didn't use any external libraries, but if it is essential I'd be okay with the `BOSL2` library.

Could you generate an OpenSCAD file for me?

Hi, I'm looking to generate some custom sprockets for a project, and I'd like an OpenSCAD file or set of files to do it. I'm familiar with the Sprocket Generator V2.1, but I'd like something more generalized.

Essentially, the design should be a sprocket with the following customizable parameters:

**Chain Parameters:**
*   **Roller Diameter:** The diameter of the chain's rollers.
*   **Sprocket Thickness:** The thickness of the sprocket plate.
*   **Roller Pitch:** The distance between the centers of two adjacent rollers in the chain.
*   **Tolerance:** An adjustment to slightly enlarge the roller spaces for smoother operation.

**Sprocket Teeth:**
*   **Number of Teeth:** The number of teeth on the sprocket.
*   **Shorten Teeth:**  A boolean option to remove the pointed tips of the teeth.

**Shaft/Hub:**
*   **Bottom Shaft Diameter:** Diameter of a cylinder on the back of the sprocket
*   **Bottom Shaft Height:** Height of the cylinder on the back of the sprocket, if it's zero then the cylinder isn't rendered.
*   **Top Shaft Diameter:** Diameter of a cylinder on the front of the sprocket
*   **Top Shaft Height:** Height of the cylinder on the front of the sprocket, if it's zero then the cylinder isn't rendered.
*   **Extra Top Shaft Diameter:** Diameter of a cylinder on top of the front cylinder
*  **Extra Top Shaft Height:** Height of the cylinder on top of the front cylinder, if it's zero then the cylinder isn't rendered.

**Bore:**
*   **Bore Diameter 1:** The diameter of the main bore hole.
*  **Bore Diameter 2:** The second diameter of the bore hole, used to create a non-circular bore. If set to the same as Bore Diameter 1, the bore will be circular.

**Mounting Holes:**
*   **Number of Holes:** The number of holes to add for mounting.
*   **Hole Diameter:** The diameter of the mounting holes.
*   **Hole Offset From Center:** The distance of the mounting holes from the center of the bore.

**Output:**
*   **Make Projection:** An option to output a 2D projection of the sprocket for laser cutting or similar.

**Rendering Quality:**
*   **Fragment Size:**  Minimum size of a fragment
*   **Fragment Angle:** Minimum angle for a fragment
*   **Fragment Number:** Number of fragments (overrides fs & fa if non zero)

I'd like the design to be flexible enough to work for different chain sizes, and the bore and mounting holes should be easily adjustable. The code should be well-commented and easy to understand, as I'm relatively new to OpenSCAD. I don't need any specific libraries or modules, I'm fine with plain OpenSCAD code.

I need a customizable barrel nut for furniture assembly, and I'd like it to be created using OpenSCAD.  I've lost a few of the original plastic ones, and I'd rather print replacements. I'm not interested in threading the inside of the barrel nut; I'll rely on the bolt threads to do that work.

Here are the key parameters I need to control:

*   **`length`**: The total length of the barrel nut.
*   **`diameter`**: The outer diameter of the barrel nut.
*  **`hole_position`**: The distance from the side with the slot to the center of the bolt hole.
*   **`hole_diameter`**: The diameter of the bolt hole (should be slightly smaller than the bolt threads).
*   **`slot_width`**: The width of the slot cut into the side.
*  **`slot_depth`**: The depth of the slot cut into the side.

The design should have a main cylindrical body with the slot cut along the length and the bolt hole going through it. I also need a flattened section on one side, which acts as a print support and allows it to print without overhangs, and gives a good base when printed.  The flattened side should cut a 45 degree angle along the length of the barrel.

I've included my OpenSCAD version of the design for your reference. However, please create it from scratch and use any necessary libraries. I'm not attached to the specific code layout, just that the final product looks like my attached design and is customizable through those parameters, and that it does the flattening cut properly. I want the file to be parametric and configurable for various furniture sizes.

Hey, I'm looking to design some custom height tiles for a Gravitrax set, and I'd like a parametric OpenSCAD design to do it. I've seen some designs online, but I want something that prints in one piece, upside down, without supports, and blends in well with the official Gravitrax tiles. I also want to be able to easily change the height of the stack.

The main features should be:

*   **Stackable tiles:** The design should allow for stacking multiple tiles on top of each other, with interlocking connections, and I want to parameterize the number of tiles. I'm aiming for a design that looks like a single, solid stack.
*   **Gravitrax compatibility:** The tiles need to be compatible with standard Gravitrax track pieces. This means they need the same overall width, center hole size, and plug connection geometry on the bottom.
*   **No support printing:** I'd like the model to print upside down, without needing any supports.
*   **Parametric dimensions:** I'd need parameters for things like the number of tiles, tile height, base height, plug height, tile width, plug width, wall thicknesses (top, side, ribs), fillet radius (top, outer, inner, plug), and potentially a chamfer height. I'm trying to avoid having to manually edit the code each time I want a change.
*   **Optional Set configurations:** I'd also like to parameterize a print arrangement, where a single stack is printed or stacks with a pattern similar to the three- and seven-tile arrangements used by Gravitrax.
*   **Filleted Edges:** Fillets should be added to all appropriate edges, including both 2D and 3D fillets.
*   **Adjustable Chamfer:** The chamfer of the top tile needs to be parametrically adjustable.
*   **Upside-down Printing:** The default rendering should be the model flipped to allow for support-less printing.

I'm not particularly picky on library usage - I'd prefer to use established libraries, such as BOSL or BOSL2, where it makes sense.

This sounds like a lot, I know, but I'm hoping that someone can help me get started with a modular and easily modifiable design. Let me know if you need any clarification.

   Design is optimized for even wall widths and no need for supports (when printing up-side down).
   If stronger prints are desired increase SIDE_THICK in increments of nozzle width. Check your slicer output and adjust widths before printing, best results typically with full width extrusions (avoiding gap fills).

I'm looking to create a parametric bridge structure in OpenSCAD, kind of like an aqueduct. I'd like to be able to adjust the length of the bridge by defining a range for the spans, a step value for those spans, and also the thickness of the bridge itself, the height of the base, and the height difference between each span.

Here's the idea:

The bridge will be composed of multiple "spans," each supported by a pillar. The spans should start at a given length and increase incrementally, so, for example, I can say spans start at length 3, increment by 2, and end at length 15. Each bridge section will be a rectangular block. The pillars will be located at the end of the span, and will be a simple cuboid, extending up from the ground. The height of each pillar and corresponding bridge will increase with the span length. The height change will be linear, based on the thickness and a base height.

Each span will be based off the same dimensions, but have some additional scaling to it. The bridge section will have a width and thickness as I described before, and the length will correspond to the currently-chosen span. The pillars should be square, with the same width, and a height that matches the corresponding bridge section height.

To make it a little nicer, I want to include an initial cylindrical support structure at the base of each pillar. I want the whole thing to be mirrored across the x-axis for symmetry.

The units will be in 10mm increments. I'd like to use the hull() function to create a solid base connection between each of the pillars.

So, to summarize, the important parameters are:
*   `spans` - a range defining starting, stepping, and ending span lengths, for example `[3:2:15]`. These are in units of 10mm.
*   `thickness` - the thickness of the bridge spans, in units of 10mm.
*   `h_base` - the starting height of the structure at the first span, in units of 10mm.
*   `z_delta` - the difference in height of the spans, which is half the thickness, used to calculate the vertical displacement of the bridge.

I'm hoping you can generate a .scad file for this. I am not using any libraries at the moment and would prefer that the response do not use any external libraries.

[Assistant]
bridge_test.scad:
```
// bridge spans, lenght unit in 10mm. [start:step:end]
spans = [3:2:15];
thickness = 1.2;
h_base = 1.5;
z_delta = thickness / 2;

module bridge(i, i0, step) {
  z = z_delta*(i-i0)+h_base;
  // bridge
  translate([0, 7*i/step, z]) cube([5*i+4, 4, thickness]);
  // pillar
  at(i, step) cube([4, 4, z]);
}

module at(i, step) {
  translate([5*i, 7*i/step, 0]) children();
}

module x_mirror() {
  children();
  mirror([1,0,0]) children();
}

module raft() {
  translate([4,2,0]) cylinder(d=10, h=1);
}

x_mirror() {
  for(i=spans)
    bridge(i, spans[0], spans[1]);
  hull()
    for(i=spans)
      at(i, spans[1]) raft();
}

I'd like to create a parametric furniture wedge using OpenSCAD, similar to the one described in the provided script, but with a few more features and flexibility.

Essentially, I need a wedge that can be customized in terms of length, width, start height, and end height, just like the current one. Additionally, I would like to specify the number of segments in the wedge and the thickness of the linkage between the segments, which acts as a breakpoint.

However, I also need to be able to define the *spacing* between the blocks, and I'd like the option to have a rounded profile for each segment, rather than being perfectly rectangular.

Finally, I would like to be able to optionally add screw holes to the wedge. These holes should be equally spaced along the length of the wedge, and their diameter and depth should be customizable.

I think that's about it - it would be great if the whole thing was parameterized in a way that makes it easy to modify. Could you generate the required .scad file or files for me? I don't need any libraries beyond the standard OpenSCAD ones.

[Assistant]
FurnitureWedge.scad:
```
//This script allows the generation
//of furniture wedges with different sizes.
//Length, width, start height, end height, number of blocks,
//and linkage thickness can freely be changed.
//However some parameters should stay in a certain
//range to be meaningfull.
//To change parameters you can either change them directly
//in this script or
//open the customizer (Menu View -> disable hide customizer)
//and change the parameters there.

//length of the wedge (x)
Length = 80;
//width of the wedge (y)
Width = 20;
//smallest height of the wedge (z)
StartHeight = 1;
//largest height of the wedge (z)
EndHeight = 8;
//how many separate wedge blocks
NumberOfBlocks = 8;
//thickness of the linkages between the wedge blocks
//the wedge blocks can be cut/broken off here
LinkageThickness = 0.4;

if (LinkageThickness < 0.2) {LinkageThickness = 0.2;}
xStart = Length / 2 * (-1);
xSteps = Length / NumberOfBlocks;
yStart = Width / 2 * (-1);

union(){
    difference(){
        rotate([90, 0, 0])
        linear_extrude(height = Width, center = true)
        polygon(points = [[xStart, 0], [Length + xStart, 0], [Length + xStart,      EndHeight], [xStart, StartHeight]]);

        for (x = [xStart + xSteps:xSteps:Length + xStart])
            translate([x, yStart, 0])
            cube(size = [1, Width, EndHeight]);
    }
    translate([xStart, yStart, 0])
    cube (size = [Length, Width, LinkageThickness]);

}

Hey there, I'm looking to design a replacement eyebrow trimmer attachment for my Philips nose hair trimmer. The original one broke pretty easily, so I'm hoping to make a more robust version. I've got an idea for the basic shape, and I'd like to make it parametric so I can adjust the trimming length.

Here's what I'm thinking:

The main body will be a sort of cylinder with a hollow core, which is where the trimmer head will slot in. I need the main shape to have a consistent overall height of 17mm. I think that a cylinder with 11mm diameter, then a cut out using a smaller 7.8mm diameter cylinder inside should work well for this base shape.

I want to add a couple of side guides that'll both act as structural support and will help guide the hair towards the cutting element. I think I can create these with a couple of hull operations. One would use a small vertical rectangle towards the front and a larger one at the side. The other guide uses two rectangles as well, one at the front, and a rectangle that will be moved forward and lower. The rectangles for both will have the same height.

To set the hair height, I want to create another cut that controls how much hair is left. I want that to be variable and driven by a `height` parameter. This is the distance between the two rectangles that form the second guiding rail. This will be cut with a very very long cylinder (80mm diameter) that’s placed on one side. The other cut will be done with a cylinder on the other side. And then finally I'll be cutting out some rectangle shapes that go through the body, that provide some protection. These rectangles should go all the way through the part. The final cuts would be two small rectangles to be added as a rail, that’ll ensure that it slots in properly. These will be on each side of the trimmer and go along its vertical axis.

For now, can we assume the trimmer is meant to be inserted by rotating the design by 90 degrees along the Y-axis? That is the top would be towards the user, not the front of the model.

I'd like all of this to be parametric, with a `height` variable that I can use to adjust how close the hair is trimmed. I can tweak the other dimensions later, but having the basic functionality in place first is important.

Could you create this as an OpenSCAD file? I don’t have any preferences for using particular libraries, so whatever is more natural for the given design.
