I'd like to design a watch holder using OpenSCAD. It should have a cylindrical base with a hole going through the center to hold the watch. The cylinder should be customizable for both its radius and height. I also need two supports, one on each side, to prevent it from rolling over. These supports will be attached to the cylinder base and will have a cylindrical standoff for additional stability, and the standoff will also have a through hole for design consistency with the central hole.

The base should have a radius and height as parameters. The central hole should also have its own radius, height and tolerance as parameters. The supports should be located at a parameterized distance from the base, they should be a certain parameterized width, they should have a parameterized thickness, and the supporting cylinder standoffs should have their own parameterized radii and height, as well as the through hole having a configurable radius and height.

The supports should be constructed from a flat rectangular piece (cuboid) that extends away from the base, and a cylindrical stand-off. The rectangular piece should be joined to the base with a smooth fillet curve. The cylindrical standoff should be above this base piece and also be joined by the same fillet curve. All of these should be parameterized, including the height of the supports.

Could you generate the OpenSCAD code for this? I expect I'll want to adjust the various dimensions, so please make all the dimensions parametric, with good default values. I'm not expecting it to be perfectly optimized for printing, but I'd like to print it with a 0.2 mm layer height and 30% infill when it's ready. Please make it a single SCAD file.

Hey, I'm looking to create a minimalist construction toy in OpenSCAD, kind of like a simplified, Japanese-style Lego. The basic idea is a single building block made of two planks joined at a 60-degree angle, forming a "V". Each plank will have a matching 60-degree notch cut out of its bottom edge. I'm hoping to make this parametric, so I can adjust sizes easily.

Here's the breakdown of what I'm imagining:

**Core Component: The Building Block**

*   **Planks:** Two rectangular prisms that form the "V".
    *   I'd like to be able to control the length, width, and thickness of these planks.
    *   The planks should be joined at a 60-degree angle relative to each other.
*   **Notch:** A cutout on the bottom edge of each plank that matches the 60-degree angle, allowing the blocks to connect.
    *   I'd want the depth of the notch to be a parameter.

**Overall Design Goals:**

1.  **Parametric Design:** Everything should be defined with variables so I can tweak the size easily. For example, plank length, width, thickness, notch depth, etc.
2.  **Single Block and Arrays:** I'd like to generate a single block, but also easily create an array of them in various configurations. I'm envisioning a few specific configurations, but also a method to easily specify the pattern with some parameters. I'm thinking a "linear array", a "circular array", and a "grid array".
    *   Linear array: A straight line of blocks with some variable spacing
    *   Circular array: Blocks arranged around a circle of a specified radius, again with a spacing variable.
    *   Grid Array: A grid of blocks, also with variable spacing.
3.  **Customization:** I want to be able to easily scale the entire model, in case I need to make it bigger or smaller for a specific application.
4.  **Ease of Use:** I'd like the code to be as readable and maintainable as possible. I'm still pretty new to OpenSCAD.
5. **Libraries** I'm not really sure what libraries would be useful for this. I guess if there are any standard ones for making arrays that might help, but I don't know what those are.

Could you create the .scad files for this? Let me know if you need any additional information.

Okay, I'm looking to have an OpenSCAD design created for a pepper grinder holder. My wife has a pepper grinder that leaks a bit, and she wants a little tray or container to set it in to catch the stray pepper flakes for easier cleaning.

The basic idea is a cube with a cylindrical indentation in the top center, where the grinder will sit. The indentation needs to be sized to fit the base of the grinder, with a little extra room so it’s easy to get in and out. The cube should be wide enough to provide stability and have a lip around the base of the grinder, so the errant pepper has somewhere to land. The whole thing should have a flat bottom.

Here's what I think the parameters should be:

*   **`cylinderDiameter`**: The diameter of the cylindrical indentation. This will need to be a bit larger than the diameter of the pepper grinder's base, maybe 2-5mm larger.
*   **`cylinderHeight`**: The depth of the indentation.  Probably want this to be around 10mm.
*   **`extraWidth`**: How much wider the cube is than the indentation. This should be a small amount, maybe 3mm.
*   **`cubeFloorHeight`**: The thickness of the cube under the indentation. This should provide structural support, I'd guess at least 3mm.

The resulting design would be a cube with the specified `cubeWidth` and `cubeHeight`. The cylinder indentation should be centered within the top face of the cube. I want to make it easy to print, so maybe some "mouse ears" on the corners? Those would be thin cylinders along the z-axis, with radius 10mm, height 1mm,  sitting on the corners of the cube, to improve the adherence to the build plate. It'd be good if they were optional, controlled by a boolean flag, so the user can choose if they want to print them or not. I think the user should also have the option to choose between cylindrical mouse ears and rounded cube mouse ears.

Could you please create an OpenSCAD file that uses these parameters and includes the boolean mouse ears and the option between the cylindrical and rounded cube mouse ears? I think the code should have a main module that is the actual model. I don’t need the ability to import a 3D model or anything complicated like that. I'm not using any libraries like MCAD or BOSL, so no need to import them.

This will be printed in ABS, and I'm looking for something reasonably fast to print, so the walls don't need to be super thick. I’m estimating that it'll be roughly 8 meters of filament and about an hour.

I need a parametric OpenSCAD design for a spiral print used to calibrate a delta 3D printer, based on the existing `calibration_spiral.scad`. The design should consist of a series of concentric spirals, moving outwards from a starting radius to an outer bed radius. Each spiral should be composed of segments, with each segment being a short rectangular prism representing a single pass of the extruder nozzle. This is not meant to be a single spiral, but rather a series of concentric spirals which are each made of segments.

Here's how I envision the parameters:

*   **`nozzle`**:  The width of the extruder nozzle (e.g., 0.4, 0.5). This determines the thickness of the printed lines.
*   **`start_radius`**: The radius of the innermost spiral.
*   **`bed_radius`**: The radius of the outermost spiral, roughly corresponding to the printable area.
*   **`segments`**: The number of segments that make up each full 360° rotation of the spiral. This affects the density of points in the calibration spiral.

I'd also like the following features:
*   The spiral should move outwards from the start radius in steps of 4x the nozzle width as in the original file, to allow for adequate spacing between spirals.
*   Each segment should be slightly longer than calculated to form a perfect circle, as in the existing file (diameter / segments + 0.1) to ensure proper connection
*   The segments should be small rectangular prisms (cubes, with different x, y, and z dimensions)

Essentially, I need a more generic and flexible version of the provided `calibration_spiral.scad`, fully parametric. Please do not use any third-party libraries; all code needs to be plain OpenSCAD. Thanks.

I'm looking to create a parametric honeycomb lamp shade, similar to the one I saw online. It should be designed for 3D printing, so needs to consider things like nozzle width and thin walls.

Here's what I need:

*   **Overall Shape:** A cylindrical vase shape with a honeycomb pattern making up the walls.
*   **Parametric Dimensions:**
    *   `inner_diameter`: The inside diameter of the lamp shade (where the light source goes). I'll want to be able to specify this. Default should be 52mm to fit a glass tea light holder.
    *   `height`: The overall height of the lampshade. I'll want to be able to change this. Default should be 107mm.
    *   `inner_width`:  The width of the inner, translucent wall. This should default to 0.5mm, suitable for a 0.5mm nozzle, and I'll want to be able to change this for different nozzle widths.
    *   `comb_width`: The width of the honeycomb section. Default this to 10mm but I'd like to adjust this.
    *   `wall_width`: The thickness of the honeycomb walls themselves. Default to 1mm.
    *   `comb_cells`: The number of honeycomb cells around the circumference. Default should be 17. I'd like to adjust this for different styles.
*   **Honeycomb Structure:**
    *   It should use a repeating hexagonal pattern for the honeycomb.
    *   The honeycomb should have a defined thickness and a space in between the inner translucent wall and the outer wall.
    *   The honeycomb pattern should be extruded along the Z-axis.
    *   There needs to be a small amount of overlap to ensure connectivity and solid printing.

*   **Considerations for 3D printing:**
    *   The thin inner wall (`inner_width`) is important for translucency and should be printable.
    *   The base and top should be fully connected for structural integrity and ease of printing.
    *   I am using a Fused Filament Fabrication printer so the generated code should be aware of the nature of this printing process.

I want to be able to customize all of these parameters easily, so a clean, parametric OpenSCAD design would be ideal. I don't have any SCAD libraries I want to include, but I want to avoid hardcoding any specific values unless it is absolutely necessary.

Can you generate the necessary OpenSCAD code for this?

I'm looking to create a customizable ring for a combination safe, specifically the "Combination Safe 00" by SavageRodent on Thingiverse (thing:586169). I want to be able to put custom text or numbers on the side of the ring. The basic ring is a simple cylinder with a smaller cylinder cut out of it. I've included the code I have but it only adds a single piece of text, and I need to add more, and it needs to be customizable. The ring dimensions are: outer diameter 46.5mm, height 10mm, and inner diameter 44mm, with the inner cylinder extending 2mm past the height of the outer cylinder. I want to be able to specify the text for each position, and ideally the font size. I'd like to be able to set 10 different pieces of text around the ring.

I would like the final file to be parametric so I can easily adjust the diameters, ring height, inner cylinder depth, and the text for each of the ten positions. Please be sure to include comments in the code so I can understand how it works.

I would like to have it all in one file, unless a library is recommended for one or more parts, in which case I am okay with having multiple files. I haven't really used any libraries before. I think the MCAD library has a text function I could use.

Hi there, I'd like to design a small, customizable 3D-printable plant pot, and I'd like to use OpenSCAD. It should have a few key features.

First, the basic shape should be like a vase, with a base, a main body, and a rim. The pot should have a drainage hole in the center of the base.

I want to be able to control these parameters: the overall radius of the pot, the radius of the drainage hole, the number of sides (to make it rounder or more polygonal), the thickness of the walls, the height of the main body, the height of the base, the height of the rim, the amount of twist applied to the body, and how much the body flares out.

Specifically, I want to be able to:

*   Adjust the radius of the pot itself, affecting the size of the pot.
*   Control the size of the drainage hole.
*   Choose the number of sides for the polygon used to generate the base, body and rim, to control how smooth the curve is.
*   Set the thickness of the walls for printing.
*   Independently control the heights of the base, the main body and the rim.
*   Add a twist to the main body of the vase as it is extruded vertically.
*   Add a flare to the body as it extrudes.

The base, body, and rim should all be constructed using linear extrusions of a polygon derived from the specified radius and number of sides. The base should be solid, and the body and rim should be hollow. The drainage hole should be a circle that is cut out of the center of the polygon before extrusion. I would like these to all be in a single scad file if possible.

Could you generate the OpenSCAD code for this, please? I'm not looking to modify existing code, so I would like all of the code to be generated by the system.

[Assistant]
Small_3D_Vase.scad:

//parameters
radius = 16;
drainRadius = 3.5;
sides = 16;
thickness = 1.5;

bodyHeight = 30;

drainHeight = baseHeight;
rimHeight = 3;
bodyTwist = -45;
bodyFlare = 2;

// extrude - body
//translate body to sit on top of base
translate([0,0,baseHeight])
linear_extrude(height = bodyHeight, twist = bodyTwist,
               scale = bodyFlare, slices = 2*bodyHeight)
    vase(solid = "no");

//extrude - base
linear_extrude(height = baseHeight, twist = bodyTwist,
               scale = 1, slices = 2*bodyHeight)
    vase(solid = "yes");

//extrude - rim
//translate rim to sit on top of body
translate([0,0,baseHeight+bodyHeight])
rotate(-bodyTwist)
scale(bodyFlare)
linear_extrude(height = rimHeight, twist = bodyTwist,
               slices = 2*bodyHeight)
    vase(solid = "no");

//modules
module vase() {
    difference () {
    //outside shape start
    offset()
        difference () {
            circle(r = radius, $fn=sides, center=true);
            //drainage Hole
            circle(r = drainRadius, $fn=sides, center=true);
        }
    //subtract inside
    if (solid=="no"){
            circle(r = radius, $fn=sides, center= true);
            //subtract drain Hole
            }
        }
    }

Hey, I'm looking to generate some terrain tiles procedurally in OpenSCAD. I've seen a few examples online that use "marching cubes" but they're a bit complicated. Basically, I want to create a tile that looks like rolling hills with some variation.

Here's the breakdown:

*   **Core Generation:** I'd like the terrain to be generated using a combination of noise functions, probably Perlin or similar, and a z-gradient that makes the ground slope downwards as it approaches a certain z-cutoff level.
*   **Marching Cubes:** The tile generation should use the concept of marching cubes to create the surface, but I'm hoping for a simplified version rather than a full implementation. I imagine each cube will be tested, and then joined together with a hull to create the surface.
*   **Octaves:** I need multiple octaves of noise to give the terrain a good amount of detail. I'm thinking maybe three octaves, with frequencies like half, one, and four times the base frequency.
*   **Color:** I would like the tiles to have a consistent color based on a noise function.
*   **Parametric Tile Size:** I'd like to be able to control the overall tile size with a `tilesize` parameter, clamped to powers of two. The tiles themselves should be generated at a specified `Resolution`.
*   **Subdivision:** I would also like to control how deep the algorithm subdivides cubes with a `MinSubdivisions` parameter.
*   **Threshold:** Of course, the marching cubes algorithm should have a `Threshold` to specify the iso-surface we're generating.
*    **Z Parameters:** I want parameters that affect the z-gradient. That includes `Zcutoff`, `Zfalloff`, and `Zoffset` to control the slope and height fall off.
*    **Seeding:** I'd like control over the `randseed` and `colorseed` for repeatable terrain generation.
*   **Diagnostic Mode:** It would be great to have a diagnostic mode that lets me see the actual cubes that are being processed as an option.
*   **No Libraries:** I don't want to rely on any external libraries, this should all be built from scratch using OpenSCAD's built in functions.

Can you generate an OpenSCAD file that achieves this? I'm expecting the main module to be called `DrawMetaballs` with parameters for  `Threshold`, `sx`, `sy`, `sz`, and `sSize` and the core logic to be in `DrawSubMetaballs`.

Hey, I'm looking for a design for a phone stand that's small and portable. I've got an existing design that I like, but it's not parametric, and I'd like to be able to adjust it for different phone sizes. I'm thinking of a simple stand that holds the phone horizontally for reading.

Here's the basic idea: It has a base, a tilted ramp that the phone rests on, and a small lip at the front to hold the phone in place. There's also a kind of hollowed-out cylinder in the back to save on material. The key parameters should be:

*   **phone\_thickness**: The total thickness of the phone *including* the case.
*   **stand\_width**: The width of the entire stand. A wider stand is more stable, but also bulkier.
*   **phone\_angle**: The angle at which the phone rests. This affects viewing angle.
*   **stand\_height**: How high the ramp rises from the base.
*   **wiggle**: A little extra space around the phone thickness to allow for minor variations
*   **hat\_overhang**: The length of the small lip at the front, which hooks around the front of the phone/case.
*   **hollow\_offset**: How far back from the front edge the hollow cylinder is placed.
*   **base\_height**: the thickness of the bottom layer of the stand
*   **front\_lip\_thickness**: the length of the lip that holds the front of the phone
*   **base\_length**: The length of the base part of the stand along the y-axis.

I'm also envisioning a "ghost" of a phone in the preview to help visualize the fit, with the following parameters to control it. These are for visual purposes only and don't affect the actual stand:

*   **phone\_width**: width of the ghost phone
*   **phone\_height**: height of the ghost phone

I think the design is pretty straightforward and shouldn't require any additional libraries other than the core OpenSCAD functionality.

Could you generate the necessary OpenSCAD file (or files, if you think it's better structured that way)?

[Assistant]

// Thickness of phone (incl. case) that will fit into clip.
phone_thickness = 11.8;
// Width of stand - wider will be more stable
stand_width = 15;
// Angle (in degrees) that phone will sit
phone_angle = 40;

/* [Advanced] */
// How high off the surface the stand should rise
stand_height = 30;
// How much leeway to allow around phone thickness
wiggle = 1.3;
// Overhang at the front of clip. Reduce if there is not a case to grab
hat_overhang = 2;
// How far back to place the hollow circle
hollow_offset = 32;

    hollow_radius= (stand_height - 2*base_height) / 3;
    translate([-extra, hollow_offset, base_height + hollow_radius])
    rotate([0, 90, 0])
    cylinder(r=hollow_radius, h=stand_width + extra * 2);

Okay, I'd like to design a parametric bottle holder for a child's bed, something that can be easily customized for different bottle sizes and bed frames. I've seen a design that uses a rubber band for mounting, but I'd prefer something a bit more secure, maybe with screw mounting or a clamp. The basic idea is a cylinder to hold the bottle, and some kind of mounting mechanism.

Here's what I'm envisioning:

**Core Features:**

*   **Bottle Holding Cylinder:**
    *   Should be a hollow cylinder, with adjustable inner diameter (`inner_diameter`) and height (`cylinder_height`). The cylinder should be oriented vertically.
    *   It should have a `wall_thickness` parameter to define the thickness of the material around the cylinder.
*   **Mounting Mechanism:**
    *   Instead of a rubber band, I'd like two options: screw mounting or a clamp, and I'd like to be able to switch between the two designs easily with a parameter.
    *   **Screw Mounting Option:**
        *   This would be a flat backplate with mounting holes. The backplate's width (`backplate_width`), height (`backplate_height`), and thickness (`backplate_thickness`) should all be customizable.
        *   It should have two screw holes with customizable radius (`screw_hole_radius`) and placement (`screw_hole_separation`). I'd like to choose the screw head diameter (`screw_head_diameter`) so that a counterbore can be added.
        *   The backplate should be integrated into the bottle holding cylinder (for example, by being a base from which the cylinder extends, and have an equal wall thickness to the bottle holder)
    *   **Clamp Mounting Option:**
         *   This would be a clamp designed to grip a bed rail. The clamp should be comprised of two parts, an upper and lower clamp with matching contours.
         *   The two clamp components should be offset with a gap (`clamp_gap`) that matches the width of a typical bed rail. The upper and lower clamp should be linked via a support (`clamp_support_width`).
         *   The clamp components and the support that links them should be parametric.
         *   The support should be attached to the main bottle holder.

*   **General Parameters:**
    *   I'd like to define a material thickness (`material_thickness`) parameter to control the general thickness of the entire object.
    *   I'd like a parameter called `mounting_type` that allows a user to choose either "screw" or "clamp" mounting.
    *   I'd like an overall height parameter, `overall_height`.
    *   I'd like a parameter for `resolution`, which is an alias for `$fn`.

**Specific Parameters:**

*   `inner_diameter` (default: 74)
*   `cylinder_height` (default: 50)
*   `wall_thickness` (default: 4)
*   `backplate_width` (default: 150)
*   `backplate_height` (default: 50)
*   `backplate_thickness` (default: 4)
*   `screw_hole_radius` (default: 2.5)
*   `screw_hole_separation` (default: 100)
*   `screw_head_diameter` (default: 6)
*   `clamp_gap` (default: 20)
*    `clamp_support_width` (default: 20)
*   `material_thickness` (default: 4)
*    `overall_height` (default: 100)
*    `mounting_type` (default: "screw")
*    `resolution` (default: 60)

**Implementation Details:**

*   Use `difference()` for creating the hollow cylinder and the screw holes/counterbores.
*   Use `union()` for combining the cylinder and the backplate/clamp.
*   Use translate and rotate for positioning the different parts of the object.
*   Please use comments in the code to explain the different parts of the design and the purpose of each parameter.
*   I'd like all variables to be easily customizable from the top of the file.

I'm not sure what libraries I would need here, but please ensure the code is organized and uses good practices. I'd appreciate your help in generating these files.

Hi! I'm looking for some help designing a parametric wine bottle spacer system. I've got a wine fridge, and the built-in spacing isn't quite right for some of the bottles I have, so I figured a custom 3D printed solution would be perfect.

Basically, I need two main components: a cradle that the bottle rests on, and a connector that joins the cradles together. The cradles should have a base plate and two wedge-shaped supports on top to keep the bottle from rolling. The connector will attach to slots on the sides of the cradle using pegs, bridging the gap between the two cradles. I want this all to be configurable, so I can adjust it for different bottle sizes.

Here are the key dimensions and parameters I'm thinking of:

*   **`bottle_spacing`**:  This is the distance between the centers of two cradled bottles. I need to be able to specify this in millimeters.

*   **`connector_cradle_tolerance`**:  There needs to be some tolerance between the connector pegs and the cradle slots, to allow for printing inaccuracies and smooth assembly. I think 0.5mm should be good, but this should also be adjustable.

*   **`base_height`**: The height or z-thickness of the base plate of each cradle. Around 2mm seems good to start with.

*   **`cradle_length`**: The length, along the x-axis, of the cradle base plate. It's also the length of each wedge-shaped part. Something around 100mm seems good.

*   **`wedge_height`**:  The height of each wedge above the base plate. Maybe about 5.8mm?

*  **`wedge_width`**: The horizontal width, along the y-axis, of each wedge. Let's say 11mm for now.

*   **`wedge_separation`**: The y-axis distance between the inner tips of the two wedges. Something around 18mm.

*  **`connector_peg_width`**:  The x-axis width of the connector pegs that go into the cradle slots. I'm thinking 12mm, but it should be less than the `cradle_length`.

*   **`connector_peg_depth`**: The y-axis depth of the connector pegs. About 3mm, and it needs to be less than `wedge_width`.

*   **`connector_peg_xs`**: The x-axis locations of the connector pegs' centers. I think we'll want a list of these, because I want them on both ends of the cradle's base. Let's make the default [20, cradle_length - 20].

*   **`connector_bridge_height`**: The z-axis height of the connecting bridge on the connector. It should be less than the height of the connector pegs. Around 3mm.

A few more details:
*   The connector bridge will have its inner portion removed to save material.
*   Overhangs shouldn't be more than 45 degrees, so it should print okay on a regular FDM printer.
*   For ease of printing, the connector should sit slightly apart from the cradle to start with. We'll need a `connector_cradle_spacing` parameter for this, maybe 30mm, so they don't get tangled up in each other while printed as separate pieces.

I'd really appreciate it if you could generate one or more OpenSCAD files for this. No fancy libraries needed, I'm happy with just the basic OpenSCAD functions. Thanks!

I'm looking to create a parametric throat plate for my bandsaw, similar to the one I've seen online for a Powermatic 14" model. I want to be able to adjust all the key dimensions, so it can be easily adapted to different bandsaws. I'd like the design to include the main circular plate, the pins that hold it in place, and the central slot for the blade.

Specifically, the parameters I need to control are:

*   **`plate_diameter`**: The overall diameter of the circular plate.
*   **`plate_height`**: The thickness of the plate.
*   **`throat_width`**: The width of the blade slot.
*   **`throat_length`**: The length of the blade slot.
*   **`pin_diameter`**: The diameter of the alignment pins.
*   **`pin_spacing`**: The distance between the centers of the alignment pins.
*  **`pin_height`**: The height of the pins.
*   **`with_holes`**: A boolean flag to enable or disable the presence of the various small holes around the throat. If enabled, this should be a non-zero value. If disabled, this should be zero.
*   **`hole_diameter`**: The diameter of the small holes.
*   **`hole_spacing`**: The spacing between the small holes.

I also need to account for print shrinkage. I plan to use ABS, which shrinks by around 0.5%, so I'd like to have a scaling factor included in the design.

It's important to use `facets()` for the cylinders to avoid having jagged edges, and also an epsilon value where necessary to avoid weird errors in the difference operations.

Could you generate the OpenSCAD files for this? I'm looking for a single scad file that includes everything. It would be great if it used functions and modules where appropriate to keep the code clean and readable. I would also like it to generate all of the small holes around the throat with a single module, not a bunch of repeated translate/cylinder modules.

Hey, I'm looking to get a parametric z-clamp design in OpenSCAD. I've been making these in 123D Design and it's tedious, so I want to move to something more scriptable. I basically need a hook that can grip onto an object of variable height.

Here's what I'm thinking, and I've even mocked up a basic version in OpenSCAD, which I can share if it helps you visualize:

I need:

*   A vertical "back" piece, this will rest against the object to be clamped.
*   A horizontal "clamp" piece that extends forward and grips the top of the object. This is offset vertically from the back piece.
*   The clamp piece should be a little wider than the back piece and needs to have a rounded end where it makes contact.
*   The two pieces connect with a solid piece.

Here are the parameters I'd like to control:

*   `hook_height`: The vertical distance from the base of the back to the top of the clamp. This determines the height of the object the clamp can grip.
*   `hook_length`: The horizontal length of the clamp.
*   `clamp_width`: The width of the clamp (should probably default to a bit more than the back width).
*   `back_width`: The width of the back piece.

I also want the connection between the vertical and horizontal parts to be a rounded corner - ideally, this would be a quarter-cylinder. Also, the end of the clamp needs to be rounded, I achieved this by making it a half-cylinder that extends downwards and covers the clamp's end face.

I'd prefer to keep everything in a single .scad file if possible. No need to get fancy with includes or anything for this. I don't have any specific library dependencies, so you shouldn't have to use any for this design. Oh, and could you make sure the parameters are easy to change at the top of the file? Thanks!

[Assistant]
hook_module.scad:
```

// height of the object you want to clamp
hook_height = 20; // [1:100]
// length of the clamp/grip
hook_length = 20; // [5:50]

translate([-3,3,0]) hook(hook_height,hook_length);

module hook (height, length)
{
    color("red") translate([3,height-3,0]) cube([length,3,15]);

    color("green") cube([3,height,15]);

    translate([-15,-3,0]) difference()
    {
        translate([7.5,1.5,7.5])        rounded();
        translate([7.5,0,7.5]) rotate ([90,0,0]) cylinder (h=8, r=1.75, center = true, $fn=100);
    }

I'm looking for an OpenSCAD design for a parametric rubber tip, like the kind you'd see on a door stop. I'd like to be able to customize the overall size, the size of the mounting hole, and the grip texture.

Here's a breakdown of the features:

*   **Overall Shape:** It should be a truncated cone, so wider at the base and narrowing towards the top.
*   **Dimensions:** I need to control:
    *   `total_height`: The total height of the rubber tip.
    *   `base_diameter`: The diameter of the wide, bottom end.
    *   `top_diameter`: The diameter of the narrow, top end.
*   **Mounting Hole:** There needs to be a cylindrical hole going most of the way through the tip for mounting on a post or bolt. I need to control:
    *   `base_thicknes`: The depth of the hole, from the base, the remaining bottom part will be solid.
    *   `hole_diameter`: The diameter of the hole.
*  **Skidproof/Grip:** The base of the rubber tip should have some kind of ridged texture to provide grip. This could be done with small rings protruding outwards or any other technique that creates the same effect. I need to control:
    *    `rugosity`: The width of these protruding elements.
*   **Resolution:** It would be great if there was a variable for the rendering resolution of the cylinders to control smoothness (e.g. `$fn`).

I'm not sure how to best implement the grip texture, but I'd like to be able to adjust how prominent it is.

Could you generate an OpenSCAD file (or files, if necessary) with these parameters? It doesn't need any particular library.

I'd like to create a customizable charm for Pandora bracelets, and I need an OpenSCAD file to do it. The charm should be a sphere, but with the top and bottom flattened, so it looks kind of like a rounded disc.

Here are the parameters I'd like to control:

*   **Sphere Diameter:** The overall diameter of the sphere before flattening (in mm). I need to be able to set this from 8mm to 20mm in 0.1mm increments.
*   **Hole Diameter:** There should be a hole through the center for the bracelet to pass through. I need to set the diameter of this hole. The range should be from 0 to 12mm, also in 0.1mm increments.
*   **Hole Ridge:** I want an option to add a small ridge around the hole, on both sides of the charm. I need a boolean toggle for this.
*   **Text:** I'll need to be able to add text to the surface of the charm.
*   **Font:** I'd like to use custom fonts for the text. This should use the "Write" library to do so, and ideally allow me to choose from a few preset fonts - something basic, something futuristic, and something fancy. I'm fine with needing to provide the actual DXF font files, just specify which library to use in the code.
*   **Text Spacing:** I need control over the space between letters. This value will be in mm, from 0.5mm to 5mm, in 0.1mm steps.
*   **Text Height:** I need to set the height of the text in mm, with a range of 2mm to 5mm in 0.1mm steps.
*   **Text Depth:** This will control how much the text is raised/cut into the sphere, ranging from 0.5mm to 1.5mm in 0.1mm steps.
*   **Recessed:** This is a boolean toggle. If true, the text should be cut into the surface (recessed). If false, the text should be raised above the surface.
*   **Text Rotation:** I need to be able to rotate the text around the center of the charm. I'd like this to be from 0 to 90 degrees.
*   **Flatten Amount:** Finally, I need to set the amount of material to remove from the top and bottom to flatten it into a disk shape. This should go from 0.5mm to 5mm in 0.1mm increments.

For the ridge around the hole, I'd like its thickness to be configurable from 0mm to 1mm in 0.1mm increments. The ridge should also have a configurable diameter, which should start at a little more than the cylinder diameter. I think cylinder radius + .4 would work well as a starting point.

I'm looking for a single .scad file that includes all the parameters and features described above. Please make sure to use the "Write" library for text as specified. And please, don't include any hardcoded values; everything should be adjustable by those parameters at the top of the file.

Hi, I'd like to design a customizable pegboard holder generator in OpenSCAD. I've used something similar before and want to make my own version from scratch. It needs to be parametric so I can easily change the size of the holder, the number of holders, the spacing of the pegboard holes, and even things like wall thickness.

Specifically, I want to be able to set the following:

*   **Holder Dimensions:**
    *   `holder_x_size`: The width of the opening of the holder.
    *   `holder_y_size`: The depth of the opening of the holder.
    *   `holder_height`: The height of the holder.
    *   `wall_thickness`: How thick the walls of the holder should be.
*   **Holder Array:**
    *   `holder_x_count`: How many times to repeat the holder horizontally.
    *   `holder_y_count`: How many times to repeat the holder vertically.
*   **Appearance:**
    *   `corner_radius`: The radius of the rounded corners of the holder opening. It should be limited to half the size of the smallest of x and y.
    *   `taper_ratio`: A value less than 1.0 to make the bottom of the holder narrower.
*   **Pegboard Compatibility:**
    *   `hole_spacing`: The distance between pegboard holes.
    *   `hole_size`: The diameter of the pegboard holes.
    *   `board_thickness`: The thickness of the pegboard.
*   **Optional Features:**
    *   `show_logo`: A toggle to show or hide a logo.
    *    `holder_offset`: An offset for the holder from the pegboard.
    *   `strength_factor`: Ratio for how much of the bottom of the holder is reinforced to the plate. Should be from 0.0 to 1.0
    *   `closed_bottom`: A ratio of the wall thickness to be used for closing the bottom of the holder (for making bins).
     *   `holder_cutout_side`: A percentage cut to remove material on one side of the holder.
    *   `holder_angle`: An angle to tilt the holder.

I'd also like to make sure that the pin that connects the holder to the pegboard is strong and secure, perhaps with a clip feature. I was looking at code someone else made and they had a "clip height" which looked like it was related to how the pin attaches to the board. Also, the peg should work with boards of different thicknesses. I'm not sure what's best here, but maybe a clip that extends down the board with a small nub or something that prevents it from coming out, or maybe two nubs that fit in adjacent holes.

I think that's all I need. Could you generate the OpenSCAD code for this? I don't need any libraries included for things like rounding or fillets, I can handle that on my own.

Hey, I need a custom vacuum adapter for my power tools. I’ve got a quick and dirty one I made, but it’s not very flexible. I want to make it parametric so I can easily tweak it for different tools in the future.

Basically, it’s a pipe reducer, connecting a larger diameter pipe to a smaller one, with a cylindrical section at each end. Here’s the breakdown of what I need:

*   **Reducer:** The core component is a frustum, transitioning from the larger to the smaller diameter. The length of this section should be adjustable.
*   **Large Pipe Section:** This is a cylindrical section at the start of the reducer (the larger diameter). This needs its own variable for length.
*   **Small Pipe Section:** This is the cylindrical section at the end of the reducer (smaller diameter). The length of this should also be adjustable.
*   **Wall Thickness:** The wall thickness should be consistent throughout and adjustable.

I'd also like to add an optional feature:
*   **Optional End Lip:** Each cylindrical section could optionally have an extended lip at the end. These would also have an adjustable length.  There should also be a parameter to enable/disable each end lip.

So to recap, I need to be able to control:
    *   Large pipe diameter (inner)
    *   Small pipe diameter (inner)
    *   Reducer length
    *   Large pipe length
    *   Small pipe length
    *   Wall thickness
    *   Large pipe end lip length (and enable/disable)
    *   Small pipe end lip length (and enable/disable)

Could you generate a parametric OpenSCAD file for this? I think this would be easier as a single file, but if it makes more sense to split it, I'm okay with that too. I don't need it to be overly complex, I don't have a lot of experience with libraries, so maybe stick to the basic OpenSCAD functions?

//midsection length

difference () {
    cylinder(midsection,d1=pipelarge+wall,d2=pipesmall+wall);
    cylinder(midsection,d1=pipelarge,d2=pipesmall);
}

Hi, I'm looking to design a parametric mount that allows me to attach a cylindrical flashlight (or similar object) to a camera tripod. I want to be able to easily adjust the design for different flashlight diameters and tripod widths.

Here are the basic features I'm imagining:

*   **Base Structure:** The mount should have a trapezoidal base that fits onto the tripod legs, angling in from the tripod width to a smaller top width. This will be the primary structure that contacts the tripod.
*   **Cylindrical Holder:** There should be two circular clamps or holders that will secure the cylindrical object. I need to control the diameter and position.
*   **Tripod Leg Grips:** I need two little triangular protrusions on either side of the base that will keep it from sliding off the tripod legs (it needs to clip to the tripod legs), angled slightly inwards to grip better. I would like these to be separate from the main body, as it makes it easier to adjust their position parametrically.
*   **Parametric Control:** I want to control the following parameters:
    *   `h`: Height of the trapezoid
    *   `wlow`: Bottom width of the trapezoid (where it contacts the tripod)
    *   `whigh`: Top width of the trapezoid
    *   `depth`: The depth (thickness) of the base
    *   `cylinder_diameter`: Diameter of the cylinder to be mounted
    *   `cylinder_separation`: Horizontal distance between the centers of the two cylindrical holders.
    *   `cylinder_mount_height`: Vertical height (z) of the center of the cylinder holder relative to the base.
    *   `tripod_clip_width`: length of the tripod clip
    *   `tripod_clip_angle`: angle of the tripod clip inward
    *   `tripod_clip_height`: vertical height of the tripod clip

I'd like all the dimensions to be easily adjustable via parameters at the beginning of the code. Please use OpenSCAD. I don't think any special libraries are required beyond the core OpenSCAD library, but if you feel like a library would drastically improve the quality of the code, please use it.

Hey, I'm trying to design a spool adapter and could really use some help creating a parametric OpenSCAD model. I've got some specific dimensions in mind, and I'd like to be able to easily adjust them later.

The adapter basically has three main parts. The base is a circular disc that's meant to fit into an external bushing, so let's call that the "External_Busing_Diameter". Then, there's a central cylindrical part that's meant to support the inner diameter of a spool, which I'll call the "Internal_Spool_Diameter". This part extends out from the base, forming a kind of core. And finally, there's a small lip or flange on top of the inner cylindrical core that will help retain the spool. I'd like that to be controlled by a "Lip_Diameter" value that defines how much it extends beyond the Internal_Spool_Diameter. Finally, there will be a cylindrical hole through the center which would be used for a support or tube running through the center of the adapter; let's call that the "Tube_Or_Support_Diameter".

Here's a breakdown of the dimensions I'm thinking of using initially:

*   **External_Busing_Diameter**: 40 mm
*   **Internal_Spool_Diameter**: 30 mm
*   **Tube_Or_Support_Diameter**: 19 mm
*   **Lip_Diameter**: 1.5 mm

The base disc should have a thickness of 5mm. The inner cylinder section extends up from the base by 10mm. The lip should extend up from the inner cylinder by 2mm. The cylindrical hole goes all the way from the base of the disc up through the top of the lip and should be 12mm.

Ideally, I'd like to use variables to define all these dimensions, so they're easy to tweak. Could you please create an OpenSCAD file that does this? I'm not too familiar with advanced techniques, so just basic linear extrudes and circles will be perfect. I'm not using any special libraries, so it should be doable with just the core OpenSCAD functionality.

Spool_adapeter.scad:
```

External_Busing_Diameter = 40; //External Bushing Diam
Internal_Spool_Diameter = 30; //Internal Diam of Spool to support
Tube_Or_Support_Diameter = 19; //Spool support Diam
Lip_Diameter = 1.5;
e_diam = External_Busing_Diameter;
i_diam = Internal_Spool_Diameter;
t_diam = Tube_Or_Support_Diameter;
l_diam = Lip_Diameter;

union(){translate([0,0,0])
    linear_extrude (5,$fn=80)
        circle(d=e_diam);

    linear_extrude (10,$fn=80)
        circle (d=i_diam);
    translate([0,0,10])
    linear_extrude (2,$fn=80)
        circle (d=i_diam+l_diam);
}
    translate([0,0,0])
        linear_extrude (12,$fn=80)
        circle (d=t_diam);
    }

Hey, I'm looking to get a parametric OpenSCAD model for a temperature calibration tower. I want it to be flexible so I can easily adjust the dimensions and temperature steps for different printers and filaments. I've got some basic requirements and a description that I'll paste in, but it sounds like you can generate the whole thing from scratch, so I just need to give you the details. I do like the idea of a single file, but I'd also be okay with separate files if that's easier.

Here's the design:

**Overall Shape:** It should be a rectangular prism (a cube that's been stretched) forming a tower.

**Parameters:**
   * `machine`: A string to store the printer and filament information (e.g., "Printrbot / Hatchbox").
   * `BottomTemperature`: The temperature for the bottom of the tower.
   * `TowerHeight`: The total height of the tower in mm.
   * `TowerSide`: The length of the base of the tower in mm (it's square, so it's the side length).
   * `HeightIncrement`: The height in mm for each temperature change step.
   * `TemperatureIncrement`: The amount to decrease the temperature for each step.
   * `EmbossHeight`: How far the text should stick out for the embossed lettering and temperature markers.
   * `Indent`: The depth of the indent for overhang testing in mm.

**Features:**

*   **Bridging Test Cutouts:** There should be rectangular cutouts on one side of the tower at each height increment, running parallel to the tower base. The cutouts should start with an indent from the edge of the tower. They should go along most of one side of the tower, at each `HeightIncrement`, and be of a fixed height.
*   **Embossed Printer/Filament Info:** There should be text on one side of the base of the tower, showing the machine and filament info (`machine`). The text should be rotated and embossed.
*   **Embossed Temperature Markers:** For every temperature change at the given `HeightIncrement`, there should be the temperature embossed near the tower. It should appear at the start of each temperature step, and be embossed on the side. It should be the temperature value for the current tower height. A small mark should also be added indicating that height by a small rectangular cube on a different side of the tower.
*   **Font:** Use "Liberation Sans" for the text.

I've attached a basic SCAD file I used for reference. I'd prefer that the final model be more parametric and organized so that it can be easily customized in the future. I am also planning to use this model with PrusaSlicer and the Post-Processing Script.

```
//Printer and Filament Maker
machine = "Printrbot / Hatchbox";
//Starting Temperature
BottomTemperature = 220;
// Tower height (mm)
TowerHeight = 110;
// Length of tower base (mm)
TowerSide = 20;
// Height change for temperature change (mm)
HeightIncrement = 10;
// Amount to decrease temperature
TemperatureIncrement = 4;
// Amount for lettering to stick out (mm)
EmbossHeight = 0.5;
// Indent for overhang testing (mm)
Indent = 2;

// Make the base cube, with cutouts for testing bridging.

difference()
{
    cube([TowerSide, TowerSide, TowerHeight]);
    for(currentHeight=[0:HeightIncrement:TowerHeight-HeightIncrement])
    {
        translate([TowerSide-Indent,TowerSide/8,currentHeight])
        cube([Indent,3*TowerSide/4,HeightIncrement/2]);
    }
}

// Emboss printer type and filament vendor, or whatever
// other info you think is relevant.  For example,
// Type A machines need 20C higher temps, and Makerbot
// filament needs 20C higher than regular PLA.

translate([0,TowerSide/4,0])
rotate([0,-90,0])
linear_extrude(EmbossHeight)
text(str(machine), font = "Liberation Sans", size = TowerSide/3);

// Make markings for temperatures.  Lines are centered on
// the temperature change point.

for(currentHeight=[0:HeightIncrement:TowerHeight-HeightIncrement])
{
    currentTemp = BottomTemperature-currentHeight/HeightIncrement*TemperatureIncrement;
    translate([0,0,currentHeight])
    rotate([90,0,0])
    linear_extrude(EmbossHeight)
    text(str(currentTemp), font = "Liberation Sans", size = 5);
    if(currentHeight != 0)
    {
        translate([7*TowerSide/8,0,currentHeight])
        cube([TowerSide/4,1,1],center=true);
    }
}
