Hi, I'd like to design a customizable cable organizer, something that can hold various types of cables like USB cables, test leads, or power cords. I already have a design in mind, and I'd like you to generate the OpenSCAD files for it.

Here's what I'm looking for:

The organizer will have a flat back plate with arms extending forward, forming slots to hold the cables. It needs to be fully parametric so I can easily adjust things like the overall size, number of slots, etc.

Here are the key features and parameters I want to control:

*   **Back Plate:**
    *   `Height`:  The height of the back plate.
    *   `BackThickness`: The thickness of the back plate.
    *   `Depth`:  The total distance from the back plate to the tip of the arms.
    *   `FilletRadius`: The radius of the fillets connecting the arms to the back plate for added strength.
*   **Arms/Prongs:**
    *   `ArmThickness`: The vertical thickness of the arms.
    *   `ArmWidth`: The width of each arm.
    *   `AngleDegrees`: The angle of the arm tips above the horizontal.
    *   `AngledLength`: The length of the angled portion of the arm tips.
    *   `SlotWidth`: The gap between the arms (the width of the cable slot).
    *  `SlotCount`:  The number of slots/arms for holding cables.
*   **Mounting Options:**
    *   `HoleStyle`: An option to select between different mounting methods, such as no holes (for adhesive mounting), circular screw holes, or keyhole slots. This should be an enum or integer that lets me specify which one I want.
        *   `0`: No holes.
        *   `1`: Circular screw holes.
        *   `2`: Keyhole slots.
    *   `BoltDiameter`: The outer diameter for the bolt/screw holes.
    *   `BoltHeadDiameter`: (Only used if `HoleStyle` is set to 2) The diameter of the bolt head for the keyhole slots.
    *   `BoltCount`: The number of mounting holes (should be at least 2, preferably more).
*   **Detail:**
    *   `$fn` (for controlling curvature of circles, etc.)

I'm going to need a module for keyhole shapes, a module for creating inside fillets, and a module for creating outside fillets. I will also need a main module that creates the complete cable organizer using these other modules.

I would like to be able to easily modify each of these parameters at the top of my file. Can you generate this as an OpenSCAD file (or multiple files if that makes sense)?

Hey, I'm looking to design a Halloween decoration in OpenSCAD, and I'd like to make it parametric so I can play around with different sizes. I basically want to create a pumpkin wearing a witch's hat.

For the pumpkin, it should be a somewhat standard round pumpkin shape, maybe made of several lobe-like pieces joined together. I'd like it to be hollow, with a face carved into it - eyes and a mouth, and maybe a single tooth in the mouth. I'd want the eyes to be changeable between square and circular, and have the option to remove the tooth, too. And if possible, include a short stem at the bottom.

The witch's hat should have a distinct bend or kink in the conical shape, not just a straight cone, and a bit of a brim. I'd also want to add a small decorative mini-pumpkin ornament to the hat. I'm not using any specific libraries at this time.

Ideally, I'd like the final model to have the hat sitting on top of the pumpkin, but also want the option to print the hat and pumpkin as separate parts for easier printing and painting. I would like to have a single file to control whether to generate all parts, or each individual part separately with a variable.

I need a parametric adapter plate for connecting different sized cage rods. I have a couple of cage systems, and the rod diameters and spacing are different, so I need something that lets me connect them.

The plate should be circular, and I want to be able to set the outer diameter and have an optional inner diameter; if set to zero, it should be a solid disk. The plate thickness should also be configurable.

There will be two sets of holes, one for each cage system’s rods. I need to configure the rod diameters, rod spacing, and whether each set of holes are thru holes or counterbored. For the counterbores, assume they're for M3 or 4-40 screws. The two sets of rod holes need to be able to be positioned at a relative angle to each other, which should be a user-defined parameter.

I am using OpenSCAD to make the designs.

Hey, I'm looking to create some parametric OpenSCAD files for generating hex bolts and nuts, basically the kind you'd use in mechanical assemblies. I need the design to be flexible enough to handle a range of metric sizes, and also want to be able to easily tweak things like bolt length and tolerances for printing.

Here's the gist of what I'm thinking:

*   **Bolt Sizes:** I need it to support standard metric sizes from M3 up to M48.  Ideally these would be defined somewhere in the code, probably an array or list structure to allow me to reference them.
*   **Bolt Geometry:** The design should include a standard hex head and a cylindrical shaft.
*   **Nut Geometry:** It should also include matching nuts for each bolt size.
*   **Parametric Length:** I'd like to be able to set the bolt length using a multiplier (e.g., bolt length = 2 * bolt diameter) *or* manually override this and specify a bolt length in mm.
*   **Tolerance:** There needs to be a global tolerance variable that adds a small amount to the bolt and nut dimensions - so that I can account for material shrinkage. I'm thinking a good starting point is 0.5mm, but it needs to be adjustable
*   **Display Options**: I need to be able to render just a bolt head, just the hex nut, a full bolt, and "through" bolts that have the threaded part sticking out both sides of the hex head.
*   **Customization:**  I need to be able to add some extra depth to the hex head, to allow for different screw head designs (e.g. for washer-head hex screws).
*   **Modules:** It'd be great if the code used modules to define the hex head, the cylindrical bolt/nut shaft, and the final assembly, for better organization.

For libraries, I'd prefer using the standard OpenSCAD library rather than relying on something like MCAD or BOLTS. I'm not sure how you'd best store the metric information; I'm thinking that it would be ideal to have this in a data structure for easy access.

Let me know if you have questions about this request, but I think it's fairly straight forward?

I'd like to design a 3D-printable earpiece that looks like a Babel fish from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." I want it to fit in the ear like a typical in-ear earphone with a rubber gasket, and have a sort of tail fin extending out.

Here are the specific requirements:

**Earphone Portion:**

*   It should have a base that fits inside the ear canal, intended to hold a standard rubber earphone gasket.
*   This base should have a cylindrical shape with a diameter and length that are adjustable parameters. I'm using Monoprice reflective in-ear earphones as a reference, but these should be modifiable via parameters.
*   There should be a slightly larger "catch" at the end of the base, again cylindrical, which keeps the gasket from sliding off, also parameterized by diameter and length.
*   Finally, there should be a cylindrical hole that goes through the center of the base and catch, also with adjustable diameter and length.

**Tail Fin:**

*   The tail fin should be a flat, rectangular shape with adjustable breadth, length, and thickness, and angle of rotation.
*   It should have ridges along its surface - a series of cylindrical extrusions. The number, size and spacing between these ridges should be adjustable parameters, including the thickness of the ridges. I would like them placed at two opposing angles and able to offset them from the center of the tail.
*   The fin should attach smoothly to the main body of the earpiece.

**Main Body:**

*   The main body should be a somewhat spherical shape that the tail fin attaches to. It should be parameterized by height and diameter.
*   The hole from the earphone portion should continue through the main body.
*   There should also be two additional sound holes going into the main body, these should be small cylinders that are angled slightly from horizontal and adjustable in placement.
*   I also need to be able to truncate the top of the sphere of the main body at any point along its Z axis to get the proper shape.

**General Requirements:**

*   Everything needs to be parametric, using variables for all dimensions.
*   I'd like the design to be relatively smooth, and configurable for print quality. I'm looking for a "quality" setting, affecting the number of facets used in cylinders and spheres.
*   I'd like to use the following libraries to aid in construction: `BOSL2`.

Can you generate a set of OpenSCAD files for me?

Hey, I'm looking to design a customizable spoon in OpenSCAD, and I'd really appreciate some help getting started. I've got a basic idea in mind, but I want to make it parametric so I can easily adjust the dimensions and features.

Here's what I'm thinking:

**Overall Structure:**

*   The spoon should have a "cup" or bowl section and a handle.
*   The cup should be a truncated cone shape, essentially a cylinder that widens from the bottom to the top.

**Cup Parameters:**

*   `UpperRadius`: The radius of the top of the cup.
*   `LowerRadius`: The radius of the bottom of the cup.
*   `Height`: The height of the cup.
*   `Thickness`: The thickness of the cup walls.
*   `CutToSee` (boolean) A way to cut the model for debugging or illustrative purposes; this should be easily toggle-able in the design (true/false). This is for development/visualization, not for actual use.

**Handle Parameters:**

*   `HandleSize`: The length of the handle.
*   `HandleHole`: The radius of a hole at the end of the handle (optional - 0 for no hole).
*   `HandleThickness`: The thickness of the handle.
*   `HandleInBottom` (boolean): Controls whether the handle attaches to the bottom or top of the cup.  This should allow the user to switch it to the bottom, to make printing easier.

**Text Parameters:**

*   `TextOffsetX`: Horizontal offset of the text on the handle.
*   `TextOffsetY`: Vertical offset of the text on the handle.
*  `TextOffsetZ`: Offset of the text relative to the handle.
*   `TextLowRelief` (boolean): If true, text should be "cut" into handle surface. If false, the text should protrude.
*   `Text`: The text string to be added to the handle.

**General:**

*   I want to be able to change all these parameters easily.
*   I'd like to set `$fn` to 75 for a reasonable smoothness in the curves.

So basically, I'm imagining the spoon being built from basic primitives (cylinders, cubes), and then joined together with `hull()` and `difference()` operations to create the shapes and cutouts. The text should be rendered using `text()` and `linear_extrude()`. I think I should be able to do this without any external libraries but please let me know if I should think about using any. I don't think I need any custom modules.

Could you generate the OpenSCAD code for this?

Okay, I'm looking to have a parametric adapter designed for behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids that will allow them to connect to various headphones. I have a specific hearing aid, a Phonak Bolero V, that I'm using right now, but I want to make the design more general and customizable.

The current design is a simple solid that is mirrored for the two ears, so ideally there would be an option to print a single left, a single right, or both. The dimensions of the adapter need to be adjustable based on the user's hearing aid, so here's a breakdown of the parameters I've identified:

*   **`Configuration`**: This should be a variable allowing users to specify if they want to print "Both" (left and right), "Left Only", or "Right Only" adapters. The current values are strings: "0" for "Both", "1" for "Left Only", and "2" for "Right Only".

*   **`Hearing_Aid_Height`**: This is the vertical height of the main body of the hearing aid, from the bottom inside to the top outside.

*   **`Hearing_Aid_Length`**: This is the depth (front-to-back) of the hearing aid body, from the bottom inside to the bottom outside.

*   **`Hearing_Aid_Width`**: This is the thickness of the hearing aid body, measured at the thickest point.

*   **`Microphone_Location`**: This measures the distance from the bottom inside of the hearing aid body to the microphone.  The microphone is not a part of the hearing aid - it is part of the headphone to be attached.

*   **`Headphone_Diameter`**:  This is the average diameter of the rubberized ear piece of the headphones, where it attaches to the adapter.

*   **`Shell_Distance`**: This controls the thickness of the adapter's shell, providing strength and creating a cavity for the hearing aid to sit in. This distance is consistent between all surfaces.

The design itself is basically a box with a cylindrical attachment for the headphones. There's a difference operation that creates the cavity for the hearing aid in the box, and another difference for the headphone port in the cylinder.

I'm envisioning a parametric OpenSCAD file, or maybe a few files, that uses these variables to generate the adapters. It should allow the user to easily adjust the dimensions to fit a variety of hearing aids and headphones, not just the ones I currently have.

I think that's everything. Let me know if you need any more clarification or have any questions!

Hey, I'm looking to design a cable bobbin, and I think I have a pretty good idea of what I want. I've seen some designs that are difficult to use one-handed, so I'm hoping to address that.

Here's the basic idea: It should be a two-part bobbin that snaps together. The bottom part will have the main winding area and some finger holes. The top part will have a kind of "bite" that fits into the bottom part, as well as holes for keychain attachments. I think I can do it with OpenSCAD.

Here are the specific parameters I'm thinking of:

*   **rMbobbin:** The outer radius of the bobbin (e.g., 18mm).
*   **rmbobbin:** The inner radius of the bobbin, for the central hub (e.g., 8mm).
*   **zBobbin:** The height of the main bobbin section (e.g., 15mm).
*  **rCable:** The radius of the cable that will be wound (e.g., 1mm)
*   **precission:**  The number of segments used for circles and cylinders for smoothing (e.g., 80).
*   **depth:** A small value used for the bite feature that connects the top and bottom (e.g. 1.5mm).
*   **rMink:** A value for smoothing the edges of the top using minkowski sum (e.g. 2mm)

The bottom part should have:
*   A main circular body with the given outer and inner radii and height.
*   A channel for the cable to pass through, sort of like a slot, at the base.
*   Two finger holes on opposite sides, a bit off from the center of the radius.
*   "teeth" at the top, which act as guide, so that top and bottom snap together. These are placed using hull.
*   A torus-shaped feature on top of the main body. This is meant to be a kind of ring around a center post.
*   Holes for a key chain, also placed near the top on two different directions.

The top part should have:

*   A main circular body to match the bottom part, with the same outer radius and height.
*  A small 'bite' on the botton that fits inside the bottom part, this is created using minkowski sum.
*   A small lip around the bottom edge that is designed to lock onto the bottom part's edge (should use minkowski sum for this).
*   A central hole through it.
*   Two small holes at the base that should act as guides to snap together with the teeth on the bottom.

I think I'll need a way to select which part to print, either just the "top" or the "bottom", but it should default to both.

Can you generate the OpenSCAD code for this? Let me know if you need more info. I don't think I need any special libraries here.

Hey, I'm looking to design a parabolic microphone reflector in OpenSCAD, and I've got some specific ideas for how I want it to work. I'd really like your help building a parametric model.

The basic idea is a bowl-shaped reflector that focuses sound onto a small cylindrical microphone. Here's a breakdown of the features and parameters I'd like:

*   **Overall Structure:** The reflector should have a parabolic interior and a cylindrical outer shape. The base of the reflector is flat and has a defined thickness.
*   **Key Parameters:**
    *   `TotalHeight`: The total height of the entire structure, including the base.
    *   `OverallThickness`: The thickness of the material used in the reflector walls.
    *   `BaseThickness`: The thickness of the flat base.
    *   `MicHeight`: The height of the cylindrical microphone.
    *   `MicDiameter`: The diameter of the microphone.
    *   `Precision`: Controls the fineness of the curves (number of segments for circles/curves).
*   **Parabola:** The interior of the bowl should be a paraboloid. I want the focal point of the parabola to be located exactly at the top edge of the microphone when the mic is inserted fully. This means the focal point will also be a bit above the top of the flat base.
*   **Microphone Holder:** There should be a cylindrical cutout in the reflector to allow the microphone to be inserted. It should match the mic's diameter, with an additional `MicHolderThickness` which would be like a small tolerance.
*   **Orientation:** The parabola should be oriented so that the microphone points outwards.
*   **Cutout:** I want a through hole for the mic to be inserted, meaning that if the mic is inserted it can be pushed through the other side.

Here's what I'd like to be able to configure through parameters:

*   The overall size of the reflector (`TotalHeight`).
*   The wall thickness of the reflector and the base (`OverallThickness`, `BaseThickness`).
*   The microphone dimensions (`MicHeight`, `MicDiameter`).
*   The precision used for the curves (`Precision`).
*   The thickness of the mic holder material `MicHolderThickness`.

I would like the final output to be a single parametric OpenSCAD file. I don't want to use any specific libraries like MCAD or BOSL, just the core OpenSCAD functionality. I'd like the file to be well-commented so I can understand the design logic.

I need to create an adapter for a pillow block that fits a 16mm linear rail. The pillow block is based on this Thingiverse design: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:793397, but I don't need to model the pillow block itself, just the adapter that fits onto it.

The adapter needs to be a rectangular block with three vertical through-holes for screws. The block itself should be 10mm wide, 34mm deep, and 3mm thick. The holes need to have a diameter of 3mm and be spaced at the following Y-axis locations, measured from one edge of the block: 8mm, 17mm, and 26mm. All holes need to be centered in the X-axis (so 5mm from each side of the 10mm width), and extend completely through the 3mm thickness.

I'd also like each screw hole to have a countersink, with the countersink being 3mm diameter and extending about 2mm into the adapter thickness. Could you generate an OpenSCAD file that does this?

I'd like the design to be parametric, so I can easily change the overall dimensions, hole locations and diameters, and the countersink parameters. I’d also like to be able to control the number of holes and their spacing, although I'd like the default to be those three holes specified above. I think using the BOSL2 library would be helpful for creating the countersunk holes and maybe the array of holes.

I need a parametric OpenSCAD design for a holder that will attach a Keyes IR sensor to a small robot chassis. The design should have a vertical part that mounts to the robot chassis and a horizontal part that holds the IR sensor.

Here are the details:

**Vertical Part:**

*   Height: `h_vert`
*   Width: `w_vert`
*   Depth: `d_vert`

**Horizontal Part:**

*   Height: `h_horiz`
*   Width: `w_horiz`
*   Depth: `d_horiz`

**Mounting:**

*   The vertical part mounts to the chassis with two screws and nuts. The nuts should be recessed into the design.
*   Nut internal diameter: `id_nut`
*   Nut outer diameter: `od_nut`
*   Nut height: `h_nut`
*   Screw length: `len_screw`
*   Screw diameter: `dia_screw`
* Chassis width: `w_chassis`

**Vertical Hole:**
* This hole allows the screw to pass from the nut to the chassis
*   Height: `h_vhole` (calculated as `h_vert - 2*id_nut - (h_horiz - w_chassis)/2`)
*   Width: `w_vhole` (equal to `id_nut`)
*   Depth: `d_vhole`

**Horizontal Hole:**
* This is the mounting hole for the IR sensor on the horizontal part
*   Height: `h_hhole` (equal to `w_chassis`)
*   Width: `w_hhole` (equal to `w_horiz+1`)
*   Depth: `d_hhole` (equal to `d_horiz`)

**Nut Block:**
*   Height: `h_nut_hole` (calculated as `(h_horiz - w_chassis)/2 + 1`)
*   Width: `w_nut_hole` (equal to `w_horiz+1`)
*   Depth: `d_nut_hole` (equal to `od_nut`)

**Additional Details:**

*   The vertical part should be centered on the horizontal part.
*   The screw holes for the vertical mounting should be accessible from the top.
*   I'd like the final shape to be generated using a `difference()` between a solid part and a set of holes.
* The sensor should attach to the horizontal part with 2 screws, but I don't need a parametric design for this, just two small square cutouts as in the provided code at coordinates [0,w_vert/2,d_vert*2+4] and [0,-w_vert/2,d_vert*2+4].

Please generate the necessary OpenSCAD file with these parameters, making it fully parametric so I can adjust the dimensions later. Please do not rely on external libraries.

Hey, I've got a design I need help with. It's a stand for a cat tunnel, that kind of collapses into a ring. The tunnel itself is a wire hoop covered in fabric, so I need a stand that'll grip the wire. I've included my existing code for reference, but I'd prefer it if you generated a fresh version; it's a bit clunky.

The key things are:

*   **Tunnel Diameter:** The wire hoop of the tunnel is 330mm diameter.
*   **Stand Size:**  The stand needs to fit diagonally on a 254mm square print bed.
*   **Wire Groove:**  There needs to be a groove to fit the wire hoop in; the wire itself is 3mm in diameter.
*   **Split for Flexibility:** The groove should have a split, like a C shape, so the wire can be pushed into the groove and sort of snap into place. I'd like the split to be rectangular in profile and extend a few mm beyond the circular groove itself.
*   **Base Platform:** I need a platform for stability at the bottom of the stand, and I want its corners to be rounded, but also with some edges that match the square shape of my build plate.
*   **Vertical Supports:** There should be a vertical supporting plate and two angled ribs that add extra stability for the tunnel and attach to the platform.
*   **Parameters:** I'd like all the dimensions to be configurable as variables at the top of the file.  Things like the tunnel diameter, stand width, thicknesses of the components, the size of the wire groove and split.  I would like a nice amount of detail for the curved surfaces too.

I'd like the design to be parametric and easy to adjust. I don't need any special modules or libraries beyond standard OpenSCAD functionality. Just something clean, configurable, and easy to print. Could you generate the OpenSCAD file for me?

I'd like to create a desk cable grommet, basically a cap to cover a hole in a desk that cables can pass through. The existing code I have is a bit clunky, and I'd like a fresh, parametric design.

Specifically, I need it to have the following features:

*   **Main Body:** The cap needs to fit into a circular hole in the desk. The hole diameter should be a parameter, and let's call this `holeDiameter`.
*   **Flange:** There needs to be a flange around the top of the cap that rests on the desk surface, preventing it from falling through. The width of this flange (distance from the edge of the hole to the outer edge of the flange) should also be a parameter, `flangeWidth`.
*   **Thickness:** Both the flange thickness, `flangeThickness`, and the thickness of the part that goes into the desk hole, `innerThickness`, should be configurable.
*   **Inner Section:** The portion that sits inside the hole should have a sort of hollow cylindrical shape and have an outside diameter of the `holeDiameter`, and an inside diameter that will define the hole that the cables will go through. Let's call the difference between the `holeDiameter` and the cable-hole diameter `cableHoleClearance`, with the cable-hole diameter as `cableHoleDiameter`.
*   **Optional plate**: A removable plate is needed to fill the center of the cable hole. This plate should have a clearance from the cable hole diameter, `plateClearance`, and should not be a full disk; instead, it should have a cutout like a D to allow a cable to be guided from the edge of the cable hole. The plate should have a thickness, `plateThickness`. The D-shaped cutout should have a width, `cutoutWidth`, and height, `cutoutHeight`, and should be centered on the diameter of the circle.
*   **Text:** There should be an option to include some text on the side of the plate. The text should be a parameter, `labelText`, as well as the size of the text `textSize`.

I'd like all of these dimensions to be easily adjustable through parameters. I need the design to be in OpenSCAD and I am aware that the `TextGenerator.scad` library will be necessary for the text feature.

Hey, I'm looking to generate a parametric OpenSCAD design for a tapered plant pot with a mesh of holes for drainage and a small brim at the top.

The basic idea is a pot that starts with a smaller diameter at the bottom and gets wider towards the top. I'd like to control the top diameter, overall height, the taper ratio (how much smaller the bottom diameter is), the thickness of the walls, the size of the mesh holes, and whether the holes are square or circular. I also want a brim that sticks out a bit at the top, and be able to control the girth of the brim and its thickness.

Specifically, I want to be able to generate:

1.  Just the pot itself (with the mesh holes)
2.  Just the brim
3.  Both the pot and the brim together

Here are some parameters I'd like to control:

*   `which`:  This should allow me to choose between "pot", "brim", or "both" to output.
*   `diameter`: The top diameter of the pot.
*   `height`: The overall height of the pot.
*   `ratio`: A ratio between 0 and 1 that determines the bottom diameter (bottom diameter = diameter * ratio).
*   `wall`: The thickness of the pot walls.
*   `size`: The size of the mesh holes.
*   `shape`: A string that can be either "cube" (for square holes) or "cylinder" (for circular holes).
*   `girth`: How far the brim sticks out from the pot's edge.
*   `thickness`: The thickness of the brim.
*   `$fn`: smoothing for the circles

Could you generate the necessary OpenSCAD file(s) for this? No libraries are required, all the code should be in one or more .scad files. I am expecting more than one file, so make sure to structure the project into separate files for modules.

I need a set of OpenSCAD files to generate trays for miniatures, specifically for Warmachine/Hordes but with the ability to customize for other games too. I'd like a modular system that allows for different base sizes within the same tray, and for trays to be easily linked together.

Here's the general layout: The core idea is a tray with multiple parallel lanes, each designed to hold a specific base size. The widths of each lane are customizable, and a user can specify the base size of each lane from a defined list, which should include 30mm, 40mm, and 50mm Privateer Press bases. There should also be an option to omit a lane altogether.

I'd like parameters to adjust each lane's width, along with small horizontal and vertical modifiers to fine-tune the cutouts. I need a parameter for the tray length and height, with the height being consistent across the whole design.

I want to include options for cutouts in the bottom of the tray to save on material - these would be hexagonal in shape. I also need an endstop parameter, which can be set to thick, thin, or none. Finally, I need the option to have small holes on one or both sides of the tray to allow joining multiple trays together. I need a parameter for the diameter of the jointhole, too.

The overall design should be parametric, allowing me to easily change any of these variables. I'm not planning on importing existing libraries (like MCAD or BOSL). All code should be written from scratch.

Hey, I'm looking to generate some customizable starburst-shaped boxes and lids using OpenSCAD, and I was hoping you could help me out.

Ideally, I'd like the design to be parametric, so I can easily tweak a few key dimensions. Specifically, I need to control:

*   **Number of Sides:** This determines how many points the starburst has. I'd want to be able to set this to any integer value between, say, 3 and 30.
*   **Overall Radius:** The overall size of the box, measured from the center to the tip of a point.
*   **Arm Length:** The length of each point, measured from the inner circle to the tip.
*   **Box Height:** The total height of the box itself.
*   **Wall Thickness:** The thickness of the walls of the box.
*   **Bottom Thickness:** The thickness of the bottom of the box.
*   **Roundness Factor:** An optional roundness value, maybe from 0 to 10, to slightly round the edges of the starburst (a Minkowski sum?). This should be optional, and when the value is zero, the corners should be sharp.
*   **Box/Lid Selector:** A toggle to choose whether the code generates a box or a lid.

The box should be composed of an extruded shape of the starburst with a bottom wall. The lid should be a similar extrusion, but slightly smaller with a matching lip to fit on top of the box.

I am aiming for it to print well with a 0.4mm nozzle, with 0.8mm wall thickness (2 shells), and a 1mm bottom wall thickness, so the code should be designed with this in mind.

I'm not familiar with any specific libraries, so just plain OpenSCAD primitives would be great. Can you help me generate the necessary .scad files? Thanks!

Hey, I'm looking to get an OpenSCAD model designed for a handle that I can attach to 20mm aluminum extrusion. I've been using a simple handle I designed myself, but it's not very parametric, and I'd like something more robust. I’d like to be able to adjust things like the overall length, height, width, and the bolt hole size. The current handle I'm using is based on the attached scad file.

Essentially, the handle is a long bar with a curved top, and it has two mounting points on the bottom, each with a bolt hole and counterbore. It uses two t-nuts and two M5 bolts for mounting (but that should be adjustable). The curved part should meet the sides smoothly, almost like it's filleted. I’d like to be able to control the fillet radius and the depth of the counterbores.

The idea is to make this easily customizable for different extrusion types or even mounting to a flat surface. I would prefer for the bolt holes to be able to be adjusted independently, so I don't have to use 2 bolts if I don't want to. I guess you could say there are two sides that are mirror images of each other, and the center is a cylinder that is blended in at the bottom using the fillets.

So, to be clear, I'd like a parametric OpenSCAD model for a handle that can be mounted to 20mm extrusion using bolts and t-nuts. It should include parameters for:

*   `length`: Overall length of the handle.
*   `width`: Width of the handle (the distance that sticks out from the extrusion).
*   `height`: Overall height of the handle.
*   `boltHoleDiameter`: Diameter of the bolt holes.
*   `boltCounterboreDiameter`: Diameter of the counterbores.
*  `counterboreDepth`: Depth of the counterbore.
*   `bottomThickness`: Thickness of the bottom section where the bolt holes are.
*   `filletRadius`: Radius of the fillets connecting the curved top to the sides.
* `mountingHoleDistance`: Distance between the two mounting holes. This would allow me to mount on other things that aren't 20mm extrusion. If this was zero, I'd like for only one hole to be made.
* `mountingHoleYOffset`: Vertical offset of the mounting holes from the center line of the handle. This would allow for mounting on non-centered surfaces.
*   `$fn`: For circle and cylinder smoothness.

I'm using the `fillets.scad` file from jfhbrook's openscad-fillets (which I included), so please be sure to include that in the generated code. Also, make sure to use a good number of `$fn` for the curves to look smooth.

Okay, so I'm looking to create a parametric OpenSCAD design for a flat ribbon cable connector, similar to what I've seen for IDE cables and the like. I've got a decent grasp of how these things work, but I'm not great at OpenSCAD, so I need some help.

Basically, I want to design a two-part housing – a base and a top – that will clamp around a ribbon cable and connect to standard header pins.  I need it to be fully parametric, so I can easily adjust things like the number of pins, the height of the shell, the wall thickness, and the thickness of the plastic bar in the male header.  I also need to be able to adjust for cable thickness and have some fine-tuning parameters for the fit between the base and top parts (to account for printing tolerances).

Here's a breakdown of the main parameters I'm thinking about:

*   **`part`**:  A variable that lets me choose if I want to generate both parts, just the base, or just the top. Options should be "both", "base", and "top".

*   **`pins`**: The number of pins for the connector. This will determine the length of the connector along the ribbon cable.

*   **`height`**: The overall height of the main shell body.

*  **`wallThickness`**: The thickness of the walls of the shell.

*   **`header`**: The measured thickness of the plastic bar in the male header pins that will fit into this connector. This is usually a standard size.

*   **`cableThickness`**:  The thickness of the ribbon cable itself.

*   **`cutAdjustmentX`, `cutAdjustmentY`, `cutAdjustmentZ`**: Adjustment factors for tweaking the fit of the top and base, kind of like tolerance settings.  These should be small values that get added or subtracted from the dimensions of the parts.

For the design itself, I envision the base having a kind of channel that receives the header pins and has separators between the individual wires of the ribbon cable. The top part should act like a cover, clamping down on the cable. The whole assembly will need some sort of interlock/catch system so it can hold together.  I would also like to include some small 'strain relief' style features to help secure the cable more firmly.

I'd like the design to have some features for making it easier to print as well, and I’d prefer to avoid supports as much as possible. Also, it's really important that I can export the pieces individually, which is why having the `part` variable is important.

I’m imagining we'll need to break this down into separate modules, probably one for the base, one for the top, and potentially some reusable modules for things like the wire separators and the catch mechanisms. I also think it’s going to be really important that there are comments throughout the file that explain the intent behind different parts of the design, to make it easier for me to adjust later on if necessary.

I'm not super comfortable with complex math functions, so if there are any calculations, can you please include comments explaining them? I'm using this on a desktop 3D printer so the usual resolution settings are fine. Let's start there, and we can tweak things further as we go.  I think we're starting from a completely blank slate here, so any OpenSCAD library is okay.
