Okay, I'm looking to design a dart cone, like for a Nerf dart, in OpenSCAD. I've got a basic design in mind, but I'd like it to be fully parametric so I can easily adjust dimensions later. Here's what I need:

The design has two main parts: a cone and a bolt cup.

**Cone:**
*   The cone should be a hollow frustum.
*   It has a large diameter at its base, a smaller diameter at its top, and a defined height and wall thickness.
*   The top diameter of the frustum will be the same as the outside diameter of the bolt cup.

**Bolt Cup:**
*   The bolt cup sits on top of the cone.
*   It's a hollow cylinder with a defined height and wall thickness.
*   The bolt cup will have several vertical "spine" features around its circumference for increased rigidity. These spines will be rectangular in cross section, evenly spaced, and will have a consistent thickness that should be independently adjustable.

**Overall Design and Parameterization:**
*   I need all of these dimensions as parameters that are easily modifiable. These parameters should include:
    *   `cone_caliber` (the radius at the base of the cone)
    *   `cone_thickness` (wall thickness of the cone)
    *   `cone_height` (height of the cone)
    *   `bolt_radius` (inside radius of the bolt cup)
    *   `cup_height` (height of the bolt cup)
    *   `cup_thickness` (wall thickness of the bolt cup)
    *   `spine_thickness` (thickness of each spine)
    *   `spine_count` (number of spines)
*   I also want the code to be clean and well commented, and be designed to work smoothly with the customizer. I need a pad variable to be included so that small differences in position to prevent z-fighting. Please ensure it is at least `0.01`.
*   I would like the finished model to be constructed by using the `cone()` module and the `bolt_cup()` module such that the model is built from two simple objects using those modules. The bolt_cup module will need to be translated to the top of the cone.
*  The model should be constructed using a series of `difference()` and `translate()` operations to ensure clean boolean operations.
* I'd like to use `$fn` for generating smooth circles for the cylinders so the model renders well. Please set the initial value of `$fn` to `100`.

Can you create an OpenSCAD file that implements this design with all the specified parameters?

//bolt cup params

spine_count=10;

//cone
module cone() {
	difference() {
		cylinder( h = cone_height, r1=cone_caliber, r2=bolt_radius+cup_thickness);
		translate([0,0,0-pad]){
			cylinder( h = cone_height-cone_thickness, r1=cone_caliber-cone_thickness, r2=bolt_radius+cup_thickness-cone_thickness);
		}
	};
};

//bolt cup
module bolt_cup() {
	//cup
	difference() {
		cylinder( h = cup_height, r = bolt_radius+cup_thickness);
		translate([0,0,2]){
			cylinder( h = cup_height-cup_thickness+pad, r = bolt_radius);
		}
	};

	//cup spines
	for (i=[0:spine_count-1]) {
		rotate( i*360/spine_count, [0,0,1] ) {
			translate([bolt_radius-spine_thickness,-(spine_thickness/2),0]){
				cube([spine_thickness,spine_thickness,cup_height]);
			}
		}
	};
};

cone();
translate([0,0,cone_height]){
	bolt_cup();
}

Okay, I'm looking to generate some knobs with a captive nut, and I've been using this SCAD file I found (levelKnobs.scad), but it's a bit clunky, and I'd like something more flexible. I need it to be parametric so I can easily change dimensions.

Here's what I need:

**General Design:**

I want a knob with a knurled or slotted outer surface. Inside, it should have a space to capture a nut, and also a space for a washer and some sort of spring (optional). I need to be able to define the dimensions of all of these features.

**Specific Features and Parameters:**

1.  **Knurl/Slotting:**
    *   I need to be able to choose between a knurled surface and a slotted surface. For the slotted surface, I need to specify the number of slots. If knurled, I need to specify the knurl pattern as in the existing code.
    *   The knurled surface should be customizable using the parameters from the existing `knurl()` module, allowing for height (`k_cyl_hg`), outer diameter (`k_cyl_od`), knurl width (`knurl_wd`), knurl height (`knurl_hg`), knurl depth (`knurl_dp`), bevel height (`e_smooth`), and surface smoothing percentage (`s_smooth`).
    *   For slots, I need to specify the number of slots and the size (depth, width and height) of each slot, as well as their spacing.

2.  **Knob Body:**
    *   The overall height of the knob (`Knob_Height`).
    *   The diameter of the knurled/slotted section (`knurl_Diameter`).
    *   A solid bottom thickness at the base of the knob (`Bottom_Thickness`).

3.  **Bolt/Nut Capture:**
    *   Diameter of the bolt that will thread into the nut (`Bolt_Diameter`).
    *   The across flats dimension of the nut (`Across_Flats`).
    *   The thickness or height of the nut (`Nut_Thickness`).
    *   A tolerance for the nut fit.

4.  **Washer Space:**
    *   The outer diameter of the washer space (`Spring_Outer_Diameter`, but I would use it for the washer) and tolerance (`Washer_Tolerance`) so the washer is not snug.
    *   The thickness of the washer (`Washer_Thickness`).

5.  **Spring Space** (Optional):
    *   An optional space above the nut for a spring, with parameters for spring outer diameter, height, etc (I could use the `Spring_Outer_Diameter` for the spring as well)

6.  **Faceting/Resolution:**
    *   A resolution parameter (`Resolution`) to control the smoothness of cylindrical shapes.

7.  **Library Requirements:**
    *   I would like to use the Knurled Surface Library v2 that's included in the existing code for knurled surfaces.
    * I need to use the parametric design capabilities of OpenSCAD itself to achieve the desired modularity.

**Output:**

The output should be a single, parametric OpenSCAD file that I can use to generate the knobs. It should be easy to change the dimensions using customizer.

Could you generate the code for this?

Okay, I'm looking to create a custom nameplate for my 3D printer that will hang off the top center bolt. I've got some basic requirements in mind, and I'd like to make it parametric so I can easily adjust it later.

Here's what I'm envisioning:

*   **Basic Shape:** It should be a rectangular plate.
*   **Text:** I want to add some text to the top of the plate. The text will be extruded or raised above the base plate.
*   **Mounting Hole:**  It needs a hole for mounting it on the printer's top bolt.
*   **Two-Color Capability:** I'd like to make this with a two-color print. The base plate would be one color, and the raised text another. The mounting hole should be cut through both colors.

Here are the specific dimensions and variables I'm thinking of:

*   `width`:  The width of the rectangular base plate. I'd like to control this.
*   `height`: The height of the rectangular base plate. This also needs to be parametric.
*   `baseThick`:  The thickness of the base plate itself.
*  `letterThick`: The thickness of the raised text.
*   `text`: The text to be displayed on the plate (should be a variable).
*   `holeRadius`:  The radius of the mounting hole.
*   `holeX`:  The X-position of the mounting hole relative to the corner of the base plate.
*   `holeY`:  The Y-position of the mounting hole relative to the corner of the base plate.
*   `fontName`: I need the ability to select different fonts for the text using a .dxf file. It would be nice if the font file could be specified as a parameter. I'd be providing this .dxf file along with the main .scad file.

I need to be able to select whether to output the base plate or the raised text or both using a variable `part`. The accepted values should be `top`, `bottom`, or `both`.

The code I'm looking for should:

1.  Use the `write/Write.scad` library for text generation.
2.  Be fully parametric, with the variables I listed above.
3.  Include two modules for the different colors of the part.
4.  Make sure the hole goes through both colors.

Can you generate a parametric OpenSCAD file based on these requirements?

[Assistant]
Top_Banner.scad:
```
use <write/Write.scad>

// Which part for Two Color Prints?
part = "both"; // [top:top,bottom:bottom,both:both]

width=175;
height=40;
baseThick=3;
letterThick=4;
text="THOR 3D";
holeRadius=5.2;
holeX=85;
holeY=20;

	if (part == "top") {
		topcolor();
	} else if (part == "both") {
		maincolor();
		topcolor();
	} else if (part == "bottom") {
		maincolor();
	} else  {
		maincolor();
		topcolor();
	}

module maincolor(){
	difference(){
		cube([width, height, baseThick]);
		translate([holeX, holeY, 0]) cylinder(r=holeRadius, h = baseThick+letterThick-1);
		}
}

module topcolor(){
	difference(){
		translate([width/2,height/2,letterThick/2 + baseThick])write(text, t=letterThick, h=height-height/5,font=fontName, center=true);
		translate([holeX, holeY, 0]) cylinder(r=holeRadius, h = baseThick+letterThick-1);
		}
}

Okay, I'm looking to design a customizable birdhouse using OpenSCAD, and I'd like the design to be parametric so I can easily adjust it later. I've seen some examples that have pre-defined sizes for different kinds of birds, but I'd also like the ability to fully customize all the dimensions.

Specifically, I'd like the following features:

**Pre-built Birdhouse Options:**

*   I want to be able to select from a list of common bird types (Chickadee, Downy Woodpecker, Eastern Bluebird, House Wren, Nuthatch, Tree Swallow, and Tufted Titmouse).
*   When I choose a bird type, the birdhouse should automatically be sized to the recommended dimensions for that bird, with these dimensions:
    *   **Width**, **Length**, and **Height** of the main body.
    *   **Diameter** and **Height** of the entrance hole.
*   I want to be able to add a text label to the front of the birdhouse, and I should be able to control:
    *   The **Text** itself
    *   The **Font** (using fonts from the `write/` directory, specifically: Black Rose, Braille, Knewave, Letters, and Orbitron)
    *   The **Size** of the text
    *   The **Horizontal Position** (left/right) of the text
    *   The **Vertical Position** (up/down) of the text

**Custom Birdhouse Options:**

*   I need to be able to specify the **Width**, **Length**, and **Height** of the birdhouse body.
*   I also need to set the **Diameter** and **Height** of the entrance hole.
*   Similar to the pre-built option, I'd also like to add a custom **Text Label** with options for:
    *   The **Text** itself
    *   The **Font** (using fonts from the `write/` directory, specifically: Black Rose, Braille, Knewave, Letters, and Orbitron)
    *   The **Size** of the text
    *   The **Horizontal Position** (left/right) of the text
    *   The **Vertical Position** (up/down) of the text

**General Requirements:**

*   The birdhouse should have a roof that extends out over the front, and I need the ability to modify the roof dimensions so I can customize how far it extends.
*   I want to include some ventilation holes near the top of the main body.
*   I'd like the option to include a "build plate" display in the preview, that can be toggled between standard sizes or manual dimensions, for ease of visualization. The default build plate options should include Replicator 2/2X, Replicator, and Thingomatic, along with a custom option that allows me to specify the x and y dimensions of the build plate.
*   The design should use the `write/Write.scad` library for text rendering and `utils/build_plate.scad` for the build plate display.
*   I'd like a clean, functional design that would be suitable for 3D printing.
*  The overall design should be easily customizable using parameters.

Could you please generate a parametric OpenSCAD file based on this description?

Okay, I'd like to design a customizable rounded die in OpenSCAD. I want to be able to control the size of the die, the radius of the rounding on the edges, the depth and radius of the pips (the dots on the die faces), and the text labels that are displayed on each face. I'd like to be able to adjust the depth and height of the text as well.

Here's a breakdown of what I need:

**Core Shape:**

*   **Rounded Cube:** The base shape should be a cube with rounded edges.
*   **Die Size:** A parameter to define the overall size of the cube (e.g., `die_size`).
*   **Rounding Radius:** A parameter to control the radius of the rounded edges (e.g., `die_radius`).

**Pips (Dots):**

*   **Pip Depth:** A parameter to control how deep the pips are indented (e.g., `pip_depth`).
*   **Pip Radius:** A parameter to control the radius of each pip (e.g., `pip_radius`).
*   **Pip Placement:** The pips should be placed on each face to represent a standard six-sided die:
    *   One pip on the top face.
    *   Two pips on the front face.
    *   Three pips on the right face.
    *   Four pips on the back face.
    *   Five pips on the left face.
    *   Six pips on the bottom face.

**Text Labels:**

*   **Face Labels:** Parameters to define the text displayed on each face (e.g., `letter_top`, `letter_front`, etc.). I'd like to be able to set each of these to any string.
*   **Text Depth:** A parameter to define how deep the text is engraved into the die (e.g., `letter_depth`).
*   **Text Height:** A parameter to control the height of the text (e.g., `letter_height`).

**General Requirements:**

*   **Parametric:** All dimensions and properties should be controlled by parameters.
*   **Clear Structure:** The code should be well-structured and easy to understand.
*   **Use of Libraries:** I would like to use the `Write.scad` library to add text to the faces.

**Example Parameters:**

*   `die_size = 4;` (overall cube size of 4 units)
*   `die_radius = 0.25;` (rounding radius of 0.25 units)
*   `pip_depth = 0.25;` (pip indentation of 0.25 units)
*   `pip_radius = 0.3;` (pip radius of 0.3 units)
*   `letter_top = "1";`
*    `letter_front="2";`
*   `letter_right="3";`
*   `letter_back="4";`
*    `letter_left="5";`
*   `letter_bottom="6";`
*   `letter_depth = -0.3;` (text engraved 0.3 units deep)
*   `letter_height = 2;` (text height of 2 units)

Could you please provide me with an OpenSCAD file that implements this design? I'd like to be able to modify these parameters to adjust the die's size, rounding, pips, and text as needed.

Okay, I'd like to design a parametric adapter to fit a bearing into a larger hub. I have a basic OpenSCAD file that does something similar, but it's not quite as flexible as I'd like. I want a single module that will generate this bearing adapter/plug.

Here's what I need:

1.  **Parametric Bearing Dimensions:**  I need to be able to specify the outer diameter (`bearing_outer_diameter`), the width (`bearing_width`), and the inner hole diameter (`bearing_hole_diameter`) of the bearing.

2.  **Parametric Hub Diameter:** I need to be able to specify the outer diameter of the hub where the bearing will fit (`hub_diameter`).

3.  **Wedge/Taper:** I want to be able to make the adapter slightly tapered, so it's tighter on one side than the other and slides into place. I want a parameter (`wedge_difference`) to control the difference in radius between the wider and narrower ends of the plug where it interfaces with the hub. The middle of the plug should match the hub diameter specified.

4.  **Simple Design:** The adapter should be a simple cylindrical plug with an appropriate inner hole to fit the bearing and should have an outer shape that tapers on the *outer* diameter, and is designed to fit within the hub.

5.  **Clearance:** The bearing should fit *into* the plug, and the plug should fit *into* the hub. I'd like to have a small amount of default clearance; say a 0.1 mm clearance for the bearing and 0.2mm for the plug. I don't need to set these explicitly, but if you could build in some reasonable defaults, that would be great.

6.  **Single Module:** The whole thing should be in a single, reusable module (for instance, `bearing_adapter()`).

7.  **No dependencies:** This should be a standalone OpenSCAD file without any external library requirements.

Essentially, I want to define a parametric adapter that fills a hole so that the hole can take a bearing. The hub is always bigger, and the bearing is always smaller, and the goal is to create an adapter.

Okay, I'm looking to design some custom poker chips, and I'd like an OpenSCAD file to do it parametrically. I'd like to be able to generate chips in either a single color or with a dual-color effect.

Here's what I need:

**Overall Chip Shape:**

*   The chip should be a cylinder, with a slightly rounded edge at the top and bottom - basically a cylinder with a small, angled chamfer or fillet at the top and bottom edges.
*   The main parameters I need to control are the `Diameter` of the chip and its overall `Thickness`.

**Text Inscriptions:**

*   I need two separate text areas.
    *   A ring of text along the outer edge of the top face of the chip; this should be a parameter named `CasinoName`, and its vertical size (how tall the letters are) should be controlled by parameter `CasinoNameHeight`.  The font for this text should be parameterized, so I can specify it in a variable called `CasinofontName`. It should use the `writecylinder` module from the `write/Write.scad` library.
    *   The second text should be a centered number on the top face which will be the `ChipValue`, with a `ValueHeight` parameter to control the height of the number.  The font of this number needs to be a parameter as well, to be called `ValuefontName`. This should use the `write` module from the `write/Write.scad` library.
*   I need to be able to control the thickness of text.
    * The `CasinoName` text has a defined thickness parameter, and a `space` parameter.
    * The `ChipValue` text needs a parameter that represents its thickness, such as the `t` parameter in `write()`.

**Coloring:**

*   I want to be able to specify whether the chip is a single color or dual-color using a `part` parameter with options `single` or `dual`.
    *   If `part` is set to `single`, the whole chip is one color. The color can be modified but is otherwise static.
    *   If `part` is set to `dual`, then only the text area of the top of the chip will be colored differently, while the body of the chip will be a second color. Again, the colors should be easily modified, but will be static beyond that.

**Parameters Summary:**

*   `part`:  `"single"` or `"dual"` (string)
*   `CasinoName`: Text string for the ring.
*   `CasinoNameHeight`: Height of the `CasinoName` text.
*   `CasinofontName`: Path to the font file for the ring, from the `write/Write.scad` library,
*   `ChipValue`: The numerical value of the chip.
*   `ValueHeight`: Height of the `ChipValue` text.
*    `ValuefontName`: Path to the font file for the number from the `write/Write.scad` library.
*   `Diameter`: Diameter of the chip.
*   `Thickness`: Overall thickness of the chip.

**Functionality:**

*   I would like the design to be modular. For instance, the modules named `chip()`, `ringletters()` and `valueletters()` that already exist should be retained and used in the new design.

Could you generate the OpenSCAD file for this?

Okay, I'd like to create a custom ring with text on it, and I want it to be parametric so I can easily change the size, text, and style. I've been playing around with this code I found, but it's a bit much to wrap my head around, and I'd like to have more control over certain aspects.

Here's what I'm looking for:

**Core Functionality:**

*   **Text Ring:** The design should be a ring with text wrapped around the outside. The text should be raised or cut into the ring. I'd like control over whether it's raised or cut.
*   **Customizable Text:** I need to be able to change the text string easily.
*   **Font Choice:** I would like to be able to specify the font to use for the text. It should support using fonts from `.dxf` files, and I'd like a few built-in options. I know the `write/Write.scad` library has some, so we should assume the system has that (or can include it), and I'd like options like `Letters.dxf`, `orbitron.dxf`, `knewave.dxf`, and `Blackrose.dxf` at a minimum.
*   **Text Size Control:** I need to control the text's width relative to its height (aspect ratio), and the overall size of the text relative to the ring's height. It should also allow for variable letter spacing.
*   **Ring Sizing:** I need to specify the inner diameter, overall width, and height of the ring.
*   **Band Style:** I'd like to choose the style of the band, such as a tube, rounded, or sharp edge. I want this to affect how the edges look.
*   **Split Band Option:** I'd like the ability to create a split in the ring, and control the angle of that split. This would create a ring with a gap in it.
*   **Rounded Text Option:** I would like to be able to select whether the text itself is rounded or not.
*   **Letter Inside Cut Option:** I would also like to be able to select if the letters go all the way through to the inside of the ring, or not.

**Specific Parameters (as starting points):**

*   **Text:**  Initially, let's use the text "TEXT".
*   **Rounded Text:**  Set to "yes" as a starting point.
*   **Letters Inside:** Set to "no" to start with.
*   **Font:**  Use "write/Letters.dxf" initially.
*   **Font Width:**  Set to 3 as a starting point.
*   **Text Height Percent:** Set to 70% of the ring's height.
*   **Letter Spacing:** Use 22 as a starting point.
*   **Inner Diameter:**  20mm initially.
*   **Ring Width:**  5mm initially.
*   **Ring Height:** 10mm initially.
*  **Band Outer Diameter Percent**: 70%
* **Band Inner Diameter Percent**: 100%
*   **Band Type:** "rounded" as a starting point.
*   **Split Band:** "no" initially.
*   **Split Angle:** 70 degrees (though this only matters if 'split_band' is "yes").

I think I'd like to use the `write/Write.scad` library, as that seems to handle text well. I think that should be all the info needed. I'd like the resulting scad file to be parametric, so I can change the parameters at the top of the file.

Okay, I'd like to create a custom OpenSCAD module that will help me easily generate arrays of cylinders within a defined rectangular area. I have an existing script that does this, but I want a more robust and configurable version, preferably using a library for cleaner code.

Here's what I need:

**Core Functionality:**

1.  **Rectangular Area:** The module should accept the length and width of a rectangular area as parameters.
2.  **Cylinder Parameters:** I need to specify the cylinder diameter (or radius) and the cylinder height.
3.  **Spacing:** I want to define the *desired* spacing between cylinders in both the x and y directions. It's important that the actual spacing is adjusted so that the cylinders fill the area completely, with the same clearance from each edge, which is equal to the cylinder radius. There should be a gap around the perimeter of the area of one cylinder diameter.
4.  **Return Array of Cylinders:** It should return the cylinders, ready to subtract. There should be no extraneous transformations applied, like mirror operations.
5.  **Use of `linear_extrude`:** I would like that instead of creating a `cylinder()` the module returns `circle()` which can be transformed to cylinders with the `linear_extrude()` function.
6.  **Clean output:** There should be no `echo` statements or commented-out lines.

**Parametric Design:**
    All of the core functionality must be parameterized, including:
    * Area length (x-dimension)
    * Area width (y-dimension)
    * Cylinder diameter
    * Cylinder height
    * Desired X spacing
    * Desired Y spacing

**Library Considerations:**

I think this kind of thing would be perfect for a standard library, especially with functions that can calculate the optimal adjusted spacing, I'm sure there are functions already in some that can help with this. Could you please make sure to use the **BOSL2** library for this, specifically if it provides any helpful functions for grid generation or array layout calculation. If it doesn't provide functions for it, make sure to create functions to achieve this.

**Example Usage:**

Ideally, I'd like to be able to use the module like this:

```openscad
include <BOSL2/std.scad>

module my_object() {
    difference() {
       cube([60, 40, 10], center=true);
       array_of_circles(lengthx = 50, lengthy = 30, cyldiam = 4, height = 6, spacingx = 6, spacingy = 6);
   }
}
my_object();

```

The code should return the array of circles so the code can be implemented this way:

```openscad
linear_extrude(height = height) children();
```

Please provide the OpenSCAD code for the module that accomplishes all of this.

[Assistant]
array_of_cylinders.scad:
```
/* This customizable algorithm will fill an area with
   a number of cylinders of a desired height. This is
   handy for subtracting from a solid, thus creating
   vent holes. The spacing in x and y direction is not
   necessarily equal as the algorithm will fill with
   cylinders right to the very edges. A space of one cylinder
   diameter is maintained around the edges of the area.
   For instance if you make a lid say 40 x 60, then if diameter is 4,
   an area of 32 x 52 is exactly filled. 40 - 2*4, 60 - 2*4.
*/

//---------------------------------------------------------------------
// User inputs

   lengthx=40;    //x direction of area
   lengthy=60;    //y direction of area
   cyldiam=4;     //diameter of the cylinders
   height=6;      //height of the cylinders
   spacingx=6.0;  //desired spacing x direction
   spacingy=6.0;  //desired spacing y direction

// End of user input
//---------------------------------------------------------------------

//program start, change anything below this at your own peril!

r=cyldiam / 2;         //radius equals half diameter
a=lengthx - 3*cyldiam; //calculate the space around perimeter
b=lengthy - 3*cyldiam; //calculate the space around perimeter
// used 3 diameters because of the cylinder at the center
sx=spacingx;
sy=spacingy;

module array() {

  qa = floor(a/2/sx);  //number of x direction rows + and -
  echo("qa=",qa);
  qb = floor(b/2/sy);  //number of y direction rows + and -
  echo("qb=",qb);
  //now adjust spacing so space is exactly filled
  sx = (a/2/qa);
  echo("sx=", sx);
  sy = (b/2/qb);
  echo("sy=", sy);
  //build the array
    for (x=[-qa:qa])
      for (y=[-qb:qb])
        translate([x*sx,y*sy,r/2])
          cylinder(h=height, r=r, ,center=true);
} // end of module array()

array();

Okay, I'd like to create a parametric OpenSCAD design for coin magnet holders, building off some existing code I have, but making it more flexible and robust.

Essentially, I want to be able to take a list of coin dimensions and generate a grid of coin holders, each with a magnet cavity and a base for gluing. The current script does this, but it has some limitations, like the awkward way it determines the grid size and the fact it needs the largest coin first in the list. Also, the magnet hole is a simple cube, and I think a more tailored shape might be better. The existing code also has some hardcoded values I’d like to make parameters.

Here’s what I'm looking for:

**Core Functionality:**

1.  **`coinHolder(coinDiameter, coinThickness, magnetX, magnetY, magnetZ, baseThickness, border, magnetOversize)`:** This module should generate a single coin holder.
    *   `coinDiameter` and `coinThickness` define the coin's size.
    *   `magnetX`, `magnetY`, `magnetZ` define the magnet dimensions.
    *   `baseThickness` sets the thickness of the glue base.
    *   `border` adds a border around the coin.
    *   `magnetOversize` allows for some fudge factor for magnet fit
    *   It should have a cylindrical cutout for the coin with a small amount of tolerance.
    *   The magnet cavity should be a rectangular prism with rounded corners, instead of just a cube. (I’m thinking maybe using a `hull()` to make the corners nice?)
    *   The module should include a few small, shallow grooves for better glue adhesion.
2.  **`nonRoundCoinHolder(coinDiameter, coinThickness, numSides, magnetX, magnetY, magnetZ, baseThickness, magnetOversize)`:** This will be for non-round coins.
    *   `coinDiameter` and `coinThickness` define the coin's size.
    *   `numSides` determines how many sides the coin has for the circular approximation (e.g. 5 for a pentagon, 7 for a heptagon, etc.)
    *   `magnetX`, `magnetY`, `magnetZ` define the magnet dimensions.
    *  `baseThickness` sets the thickness of the glue base.
    *  `magnetOversize` allows for some fudge factor for magnet fit
    *  It should make the shape of the coin based on the number of sides and then make a cutout inside of that.
    *   The magnet cavity should be a rectangular prism with rounded corners, instead of just a cube.
    *   The module should include a few small, shallow grooves for better glue adhesion.
3.  **`layoutGrid(coinDataList, separation)`:** This module should lay out the coin holders in a grid.
    *   `coinDataList` will be a list of lists, where each inner list contains the parameters for each coin. For round coins, it'll be `[coinDiameter, coinThickness, magnetX, magnetY, magnetZ, baseThickness, border, magnetOversize]` and `[coinDiameter, coinThickness, numSides, magnetX, magnetY, magnetZ, baseThickness, magnetOversize]` for non-round coins.
    *   `separation` defines the distance between each coin holder.
    *   The grid should automatically determine how many rows and columns to use for the coins.
    *   I'd like it to automatically center the grid in the origin.
    *   It should be able to handle a mix of round and non-round coins.

**Parameters:**

*   I’d like to define default values for magnet sizes, base thickness, border size, separation and magnet oversize at the top of the file, as well as making them overridable for the specific modules.

**Additional Requests:**

*   Please use the `hull()` function to round the magnet cavity corners as well as possible.
*   The grid layout should be as efficient as possible and automatically adjust its dimensions.
*   Add comments to the code to make it clear what each section does.
*   I'd like to use the `BOSL` library for hull functions and any other relevant functions it provides. I think `BOSL2` is the latest version.

**Example Usage:**

I should be able to call something like this to generate a grid of holders:

```openscad
include <BOSL2/std.scad>
coinData = [
    [24.5, 1.9, 20, 10, 3, 1.2, 2, 1.03],  // Round Coin Example 1
    [26, 2.1, 20, 10, 3, 1.2, 2, 1.03], // Round Coin Example 2
    [30.5, 2.5, 7, 20, 10, 3, 1.2, 1.03], // Non-round coin example
    [24, 1.7, 20, 10, 3, 1.2, 2, 1.03]  //Round Coin Example 3
];

layoutGrid(coinData, 5);
```

And something like this to just generate a single round coin:
```openscad
include <BOSL2/std.scad>
coinHolder(24.5, 1.9, 20, 10, 3, 1.2, 2, 1.03);
```

or this to generate a single non-round coin:
```openscad
include <BOSL2/std.scad>
nonRoundCoinHolder(30.5, 2.5, 7, 20, 10, 3, 1.2, 1.03);
```

I believe this covers everything. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Coin Magnet Holder
Version 3 - 26 July 2015

This SCAD can produce a plate with many coins.  See the example at the bottom.

Many coins are already available; add more using this format:
//ISO4217_name<value>=[Diameter, Thickness]

Check the examples below.

To draw a single coin holder call (the function expects a list of lists)
  drawCoinHolder([[coinDiameter, coinThickness]]);

To draw a plate of several holders call:
  drawCoinHolder([coinvar1, coinvar2, coinvar3]);

!!!NOTE!!! the largest coin must be the first item in the list!

Adjust the magnet variables for your particlar magnet.  If your magnet does not
quite fit after printing, adjust the 'ovr' variable in the Tweaks section.

Okay, I'm looking to get a parametric OpenSCAD file created for a pipe or rod mounting flange. I've got a basic idea of what I want, but need the ability to easily adjust various dimensions. Basically, it should be something you can use to attach a rod or pipe to a flat surface, like a wall or piece of wood. Here's a breakdown of the parameters I'd like to control:

**Core Dimensions:**

*   **`min_thick`**: The minimum thickness of the material used for the flange. I'd like to be able to adjust this, maybe starting at 5mm. This helps ensure that there's enough material to keep the flange structurally sound.
*   **`pipe_d`**: The diameter of the pipe or rod that the flange will be holding. I would need to be able to adjust this, something like 25mm starting point.
*   **`flange_d`**: The overall diameter of the circular flange itself. Something like 60mm starting point.
*   **`height`**: The total height of the entire mount (the height of the cylinder) , something like 25mm starting point.

**Bolt Holes:**

*   **`num_bolts`**: The number of bolts used to attach the flange to a surface. I need to be able to change this, starting at 3. The bolts will be distributed evenly around the base of the flange.
*   **`bolt_d`**: The diameter of the bolt holes. I will need to set this based on my bolts, starting at 5mm.
*   **`bolthead_d`**: The diameter of the recessed bolthead. I'll need this to countersink the bolt heads. Something like 10mm to start.

**Setscrew Holes:**

*   **`num_setscrews`**: The number of setscrews that will tighten down on the pipe or rod itself. I need to be able to adjust this, starting at 3. The setscrews will be placed radially on the side of the pipe cylinder of the mount, not the flange.
*  **`setscrew_d`**: The diameter of the setscrew hole. I'll need to be able to specify this, starting at 5mm.
*  **`setscrewhead_d`**: The diameter of the recess for the setscrew head. Something like 10mm to start.

**Additional considerations:**

*   The setscrew holes need to be cut in a way so that they intersect with the central cylinder of the mount and push the screw into the pipe or rod.
*   I'd like a chamfer or a similar angled cut on the side of the flange to give it a more polished look.
* The bolt holes and setscrew holes should be countersunk or have a recessed area.
* I do not need to use any libraries, but please do not be afraid to do so if you think it will make things easier (such as MCAD or BOSL).

Could you generate the OpenSCAD file with all these parameters? I'd really appreciate it.

Okay, I need a customizable handle that I can 3D print. It's meant to be attached with a countersunk screw from the bottom.

Here are the key features I'm looking for:

1.  **Shape:** The handle should be a sort of elongated cylinder with rounded ends, similar to a capsule shape but with flattened sides. It will be wider at the top than the bottom, creating a subtle taper.

2.  **Dimensions:** I need to be able to control these dimensions:
    *   `bottom_width`: The width (or diameter, effectively) at the bottom of the handle before the rounded end starts.
    *   `bottom_radius`: The radius of the rounded part at the bottom of the handle.
    *   `top_width`: The width at the top of the handle, again before the rounded end.
    *   `top_radius`: The radius of the rounded part at the top of the handle.
    *   `height`: The total height of the straight part of the handle, excluding the rounded ends.
    *   `screw_head`: The diameter of the countersunk screw head that will be used to attach the handle.
    *   `screw_shaft`: The diameter of the screw shaft.
    *  `screw_sink`: The depth of the countersink for the screw head.
    *  `resolution`: For controlling the smoothness of curves.

3.  **Screw Hole:**  The handle needs a through-hole for the screw. The hole should be countersunk from the bottom to accommodate a screw head. The screw should start below the bottom of the bottom rounded surface, so that it doesn't affect the bottom rounded surface.

4.  **Parametric Design:**  I need to be able to easily change all the dimensions above via variables in the OpenSCAD file.

Can you provide an OpenSCAD file that implements this? Please make sure it's easily adjustable and uses clear variable names. I do not need you to include any library files.

Okay, I need a custom insert for a tin, and I want it to be generated parametrically using OpenSCAD. I've got a few specific features I need, and I'd like to be able to control them easily.

Here's what I'm looking for:

**Overall Shape:** The insert should be a rectangular box with compartments inside.

**Dimensions:**
*   **Length:** I need to specify the overall length of the insert.
*   **Width:** I need to specify the overall width of the insert.
*   **Height:** I need to specify the overall height (depth) of the insert.
*   **Thickness:** I need to specify the thickness of the walls and dividers.

**Compartments:**
*   **X Compartments:** I need to specify how many compartments to have along the width.
*   **Y Compartments:** I need to specify how many compartments to have along the length.
    The compartments should be evenly spaced, accounting for the wall thickness.

**Features:**
*   **Corner Radius:** I'd like to optionally have rounded corners, with a configurable radius. If the radius is 0, then the corners should be sharp (right angles).
*   **Outer Wall:** I need a parameter to control whether the insert has an outer wall or not. This wall should be of specified thickness, matching the compartment dividers.
*   **End Tab:** I need the option of an extended tab on one end to help hold the insert in a tin.
    *   **Tab Width:** This parameter will control the width of the tab.
    *   **Tab Height:** This will control the height of the tab.
*   **Handle:** I need the option of a small handle at the end of the box, for easy removal of the insert.
    *   **Handle Width:** The width of the handle.
    *   **Handle Thickness:** The thickness of the handle (along the width of the box).
    *   **Handle Height:** The height of the handle. The handle should protrude from the top face.

**Other Requirements**
*   The code should be parametric so that I can easily modify the dimensions and the number of compartments.
*   I need to include the `build_plate.scad` library from the `utils` folder (but don't worry about including the file itself, I have that).

Can you generate the OpenSCAD code for this?

Okay, I'm looking to design a parametric wine glass holder, similar to the one I've been working on, but I want to make it more flexible and configurable. I'm not entirely satisfied with how it is right now.

My current design consists of a base rail with sinkholes for the wine glass stems, a shifter element to keep the glasses from tipping over, and some supporting cubes.

Here's a breakdown of what I'm thinking, and what I'd like to see in a new parametric design:

**Overall Structure:**

*   **Base Rail:**  A main, horizontally oriented rail with evenly spaced sinkholes for the wine glass stems. I need to be able to define the number of sinkholes and the spacing between them. The rail should have an overall height, width, and thickness, which I also need to be able to configure.
*   **Sinkholes:** The sinkholes should have a main cylindrical hole for the stem to rest in, and a countersunk section (wider at the top) to better guide the stem. Both the cylindrical hole and the countersunk section should be parametric: hole diameter, depth, and diameter of the countersunk portion and its depth.
*   **Shifter Elements:** I need a raised element or 'shifter' that runs along the base rail, providing a slight lean to the glasses, preventing them from toppling. This element should be parametric in terms of its height, width, length and distance from the rail. I'm not set on the shape here, so feel free to propose a different shape if you think there might be a better way to do it, as long as it prevents tipping. I also would like to add a second rail to secure the glasses from the back.
*   **Supporting Cubes:** The support cubes that sit below the 'shifter' element should also be parametrically configurable: height, width and length. I want these to connect from the base to the shifter. I need to define how many of these cubes and their distance to each other, which can be done through the parameter of how many sinkholes there are, as well.

**Specific Parameters I Need:**

*   `num_segments`: The number of wine glass positions along the rail (and hence the number of sinkholes, and supporting cubes).
*   `segment_length`: The center-to-center distance between sinkholes.
*   `rail_height`: The height of the main rail.
*   `rail_width`: The width of the main rail.
*   `rail_thickness`: the thickness of the main rail (Z axis).
*  `hole_diameter`: The diameter of the main sinkhole cylinder.
*   `hole_depth`: The depth of the main sinkhole cylinder.
*   `sink_diameter`: The diameter of the countersunk portion of the sinkhole.
*   `sink_depth`: The depth of the countersunk portion of the sinkhole.
*   `shifter_height`: The height of the shifter element from the top of the rail.
*   `shifter_width`: The width of the shifter element (including a possible back support).
*   `shifter_length`: The length of the shifter element.
*   `shifter_offset`: The horizontal distance between the center of the main rail and the center of the shifter element.
*   `support_cube_height`: The height of the support cubes.
*   `support_cube_width`: The width of the support cubes.
*  `support_cube_length`: The length of the support cubes
*   `support_cube_offset`: The offset of the support cubes from the center of the base rail.
*   `support_cube_z_offset`: The offset of the support cubes from the bottom of the base rail.

**Functionality:**

*   I need a top-level module (like my current `assemble` module) to combine all the components into a single, configurable assembly.
*   The design should be clean, relatively simple and easily modifiable.
*   It should be easy to adjust any parameter to create a rail for different wine glasses and placements.

**Additional Notes:**

*   I'm open to suggestions for improvements. Feel free to re-arrange certain components or change shapes as long as the functionality remains and if the new shape fits well within a parametric and configurable environment.

I'd like to see this implemented in OpenSCAD, keeping the structure modular as much as possible. I am not using any libraries yet but, If you think it can be improved with a library, feel free to add it.

Let me know if you have any questions, or when you're ready to provide some code!

Okay, I'm looking to create a customizable ruler using OpenSCAD, and I've got some specific ideas. I've seen some examples using the `write/Write.scad` library, which is great for text.

I'd like a parametric ruler design where I can easily adjust the following:

*   **Overall Length:** The ruler length in centimeters. I need to be able to set a variable, say `ruler_length_cm`, that controls the total length.

*   **Text Label:** I want to include a custom text label on the ruler, specified by a variable, for example, `ruler_text`.

*   **Text Label Size:** The size of the custom text label, controlled by a variable, say `text_size`.

*   **Text Label Position:** The x and y position for the custom text label, say `text_x` and `text_y` respectively.

*   **Text Label Height:** The extrusion height of the custom text label, say `text_height`.

*   **Number Size:** The size of the numbers indicating the centimeters, which should be set with `number_size`.

*   **Number Position Offset:** Allow an offset variable, `number_offset`, to fine tune the numbers position.

*   **Ruler Body Dimensions:** The body should be a rectangular prism with configurable thickness. So the body width and height, which could be set by variables `ruler_width` and `ruler_height`.

*  **Ruler Markings**: The ruler should have markings every centimeter, with longer marks every 10cm.

*   **Ruler Markings Height**: This should be configurable. A variable such as `ruler_marks_height` should control how tall these markings are.

*   **Unit Text:** The ruler should also have "CM" near the start of the ruler

It would be great if the design used the `write/Write.scad` library for writing text on the ruler.

Can you generate an OpenSCAD file based on this description? I'm particularly interested in ensuring that the design is parametric and easily adjustable via variables.

Okay, I need an OpenSCAD design for a basic ring, tube, or washer, whatever you want to call it. It's essentially a cylinder with a cylinder subtracted out of it to leave a hollow center. I need it to be fully parametric so I can change all the relevant dimensions easily.

Here's what I want to control through customizer variables:

*   **Inside Diameter:** The diameter of the hollow center.
*   **Outside Diameter:** The overall diameter of the ring.
*   **Ring Height:** The height of the ring.
*   **Number of Fragments for Inside Cylinder:** This controls the polygon count of the inner cylinder (for smoothness).
*   **Number of Fragments for Outside Cylinder:** This controls the polygon count of the outer cylinder.
* **Build Plate Selection:** I need a way to choose between a few different build plates or manually set the build plate dimensions, I plan on using a `build_plate` module from somewhere, I'm not sure exactly where its defined, but it handles the logic for this.

I want the OpenSCAD file to use include the `build_plate` module for selecting a print bed, but it should not be redefined as part of the file. The inside cylinder should be slightly taller than the ring and start at the same base as the outer cylinder. I would also like the build plate to be included in the model.

I would like all the variables to be easily modifiable in the customizer, and I would like the variables to have descriptive names. Please include descriptive comments in the code so it's easy to understand. The variables should have reasonable default values as well.

Can you generate the OpenSCAD file for this?

[Assistant]
Customizer_Ring.scad:
```
include <utils/build_plate.scad>

//CUSTOMIZER VARIABLES

// Inside Diameter of the ring
Diameter_Inside 		=  100;	 //[0:200]
// Outside Diameter of the ring
Diameter_Outside		=  110; 	//[0:200]
// Height of the ring
Ring_Height			=  10; 	//[0:200]
// Fragments for the cylinders
fragments_Inside			=  6;	//[3:360]
fragments_Outside		=  12;	//[3:360]

build_plate_selector = 1; //[0:Replicator 2,1: Replicator,2:Thingomatic]

//CUSTOMIZER VARIABLES END

build_plate(build_plate_selector,build_plate_manual_x,build_plate_manual_y);
difference() {
	cylinder(r=Diameter_Outside/2,h=Ring_Height,$fn=fragments_Outside);
	translate([0,0,-1])
	cylinder(r=Diameter_Inside/2,h=Ring_Height+2,$fn=fragments_Inside);

Okay, I'm looking to create a parametric OpenSCAD design for clip-on feet for a play yard fence, similar to the one I designed but more flexible. I’ve already made one version and have the SCAD code (attached) to use as a starting point. My goal is a design that can easily adapt to different fence rail dimensions and floor gaps.

Here's a breakdown of what I need:

**Core Functionality:**

*   The design should create a clip-on foot that attaches to the bottom rail of a fence.
*   It should securely grip the rail using a slot and a tight fit.
*   There should be a small gap beneath the rail, so that the foot is not also pressing directly into the floor (the vertical height of this gap can be considered a parameter).
*   The foot should be somewhat rounded and not just a plain rectangular box, for both looks and safety purposes.
*   There should be fillets/rounded edges on top and bottom of the main clip.

**Parameters:**

I'd like these parameters to be easily adjustable at the top of the SCAD file:

*   **`len`**: Overall length of the foot.
*   **`wid`**: Width of the foot (perpendicular to the rail).
*   **`thk`**: Thickness of the foot (vertical thickness).
*   **`gap`**: Vertical distance between the bottom of the rail and the floor.
*   **`w`**: Width of the fence rail.
*   **`h`**: Total height from floor to top of rail (including the gap).
*   **`h0`**: Vertical height of the rail itself.
*   **`clip_thk`**: Inset of the "clip" part that grips the rail (how much to narrow it on each side).
*   **`rad`**: Radius of the rounded top of the foot. This affects the shape of the clip and filleting as well, so it needs to be parameterized.
*   **`fillet_rad`**: Radius of the fillets on top and bottom of the foot.
*   **`bottom`**: A boolean flag to swap between two alternative styles (currently an experimental boolean in the attached file), to create either a foot that extends up the rail (false) or one that sits flush on the floor (true).
*   **`fn`**: The `$fn` variable for controlling the smoothness of curves (also exposed).

**Details and Considerations:**

*   I used trigonometry in the existing design for calculating the curve of the top. It would be great if you could keep the curve, but perhaps the code for creating it could be a little more clear and organized.
*   I used difference() to create the slot, rounded tops, fillets etc. It's essential that these operations are parametric and adjust when parameters like `wid`, `thk`, etc. change.
*   The top fillets currently have hardcoded offsets (see the comment "// Top fillet; TODO: parameterize 1.5/0.4 hardcoded offsets"). I would like the fillet code to be modified so the fillets are properly positioned without those hard-coded values (or, alternatively, expose the offset as a parameter).

**Other Requirements:**

*   The design shouldn't require any special OpenSCAD libraries and should be able to be copy-pasted and run as a self-contained file.
*   I'd prefer if the code was well-commented to explain each part of the process, as well as the reasoning for any more advanced geometry.

I have attached my existing OpenSCAD file as a starting point and for reference. Please do your best to provide a well-structured, parametric version based on the original design.  I am happy to answer questions if you need more information.

Okay, I need an OpenSCAD file to help me transfer liquids between bottles, specifically things like laundry detergent. I've got bottles with different sized openings, and it's a pain to hold them together and pour, often with spills. I'd like to design a parametric adapter that has a funnel built in, so everything flows neatly down into the lower bottle.

Here's what I need the adapter to do:

*   **Two Connection Tubes:** It should have a lower tube to fit inside the opening of the bottom bottle, and an upper tube to fit inside the opening of the top bottle.
*   **Integrated Funnel:** There needs to be a conical section inside the adapter that acts as a funnel, guiding the liquid down into the bottom bottle. The bottom of this funnel needs to have a small offset or inset so that it does not touch the bottle directly.
*   **Outer Conical Section:** There should be another conical section on the outside to help with stability and to keep anything dripping on the side to be captured by the adapter, in case the top bottle's neck is not perfectly straight.
*   **Parametric Design:** I need to be able to easily adjust all the critical dimensions using parameters. Here's what I'm thinking for parameters:
    *   `bottom_diameter`: Inner diameter of the lower connection tube.
    *   `top_diameter`: Inner diameter of the upper connection tube.
    *   `inset`: The gap between the bottom of the inner funnel and the lower bottle.
    *   `bottom_height`: Height of the lower connection tube.
    *   `top_height`: Height of the upper connection tube.
    *   `outer_conus_height`: Height of the outer conical section.
    *   `inner_conus_height`: Height of the inner conical funnel section.
    *   `thickness`: Wall thickness of the adapter.

I want the adapter to be created using `rotate_extrude` with a polygon so it's a solid, 3D object. I'd prefer to have the `$fn` be set to something like 200 to get a nice smooth curve.

I also think it should be rotated 180 degrees to be in the correct orientation with the bottom bottle at the bottom, if that makes sense.

Basically, I'm looking for a single .scad file that I can open up and easily change the parameters to fit different bottles. I also want it to use the standard OpenSCAD libraries, no custom external ones. I do not expect you to create any libraries of your own for this project, but I would like to use built in features like the `union` function. I'm ready when you are!

Adapter.scad:
```
/* [Important] */

// Inner diameter of lower hole
bottom_diameter = 40;

// Inner diameter of upper hole
top_diameter = 43;

// Inset of inner funnel (gap to lower tube)
inset = 5;

/* [Adjustments] */

// Height of lower connection tube
bottom_height = 9;

// Height of upper connection tube
top_height = 9;

// Height of outer conical section
outer_conus_height = 5;

// Height of inner conical section (funnel)
inner_conus_height = 8.4;

// Wall thickness
thickness = 1.6;

bottom_radius = bottom_diameter / 2;
top_radius = top_diameter / 2;
height = top_height+outer_conus_height+bottom_height;

rotate([180,0,0])union() {
  rotate_extrude($fn=200)polygon([[top_radius,0],[top_radius,top_height],[bottom_radius-inset,top_height+inner_conus_height],[bottom_radius-inset, height],[bottom_radius-inset+thickness,height],[bottom_radius-inset+thickness,top_height+inner_conus_height],[top_radius+thickness,top_height],[top_radius+thickness,0],[top_radius,0]]);

  rotate_extrude($fn=200)polygon([[top_radius,top_height],[bottom_radius,height-bottom_height],[bottom_radius,height],[bottom_radius+thickness,height],[bottom_radius+thickness, top_height+outer_conus_height],[top_radius+thickness,top_height],[top_radius,top_height]]);

Okay, I'm looking to create a parametric hopper extension for a 3D printer, and I've got a basic design in mind, but I need help making it more flexible. I'm having some trouble with OpenSCAD outputting the STL correctly based on an existing STL model, but I've at least got the basic idea down in code.

Essentially, I want a cylindrical extension that fits onto the existing hopper. The extension needs to have a lip that mates with the original hopper, and a hollow core that continues the hopper's funnel. Think of stacking multiple extensions on top of each other.

Here's what I'm thinking in terms of features and parameters:

*   **Core Functionality:** It needs to cut away the original funnel (imported from STL) to provide a clean path for materials into the printer.
*   **Coupling Diameter:** The extension should have an inner diameter where it joins with the original hopper. This needs to be adjustable, and my current design uses `coupling_inner_dimension`, which I have set to 34.5mm, but I'd like to make it a range from 30mm to 40mm.
*   **Extension Height:**  I need to be able to specify the height of the extension itself, so I can stack multiple extensions. This should be a variable I can adjust, let's call it `extension_height`. I think a good starting range would be from 10mm to 100mm.
*   **Lip Thickness:** I need a lip on the bottom to fit into the existing hopper, which has a similar lip that has the same inner diameter of `coupling_inner_dimension`. I also need the lip height to be parameterized, call it `lip_height`, and I think a range of 2mm to 10mm would be good.
*   **Outer Diameter:** The outer diameter of the cylindrical section of the extension needs to be parameterized, call this `outer_diameter`. This doesn't need to be too wide, but large enough to add structural integrity, maybe starting at 40mm and going up to 60mm.
*   **Imported STL:** I need to be able to define the STL path (e.g., `"Hopper-funnel-v2.stl"`) so that I can cut out the funnel part.

In addition, I would like to be able to create a version of this extension that has a smaller mating lip to allow for a flush fit with the main body if stacked with other extensions.  I think I need a boolean parameter to enable and disable this feature, `flush_fit` for the boolean. If true, the bottom lip is slightly reduced. Let's call the reduction amount `flush_fit_reduction` and a range of 0.5mm to 2mm should be sufficient.

I'd like the design to be adaptable using these parameters so I can print different configurations easily. Could you provide an OpenSCAD script for this parametric design? And, if possible, it would be great if it could import the original STL as I did in my example above.  I am not expecting the script to output any STL itself (OpenSCAD seems to be having an issue with the imported STL, so I'll do that part manually).

I am not using any external libraries, but I would be willing to use them if it would make the solution easier.
