I need a design for a bearing holder that I can screw down onto a flat surface. The basic idea is a plate with holes for screws, and a central part that holds the bearing itself. It needs to be parametric so I can adjust it for different sized bearings.

Here are the parameters I need:

*   **Number of Sides:** The holder needs to have a polygonal base plate. I'd like to specify the number of sides for this polygon. For example, if I set this to 3, it'll be a triangle. If I set it to 4, it will be a square and so on.
*   **Bearing Outer Diameter:** I need to specify the outer diameter of the bearing that will be held.
*   **Bearing Height:** The height of the bearing.
*   **Bearing Inner Diameter:** The inner diameter of the bearing.
*   **Screw Hole Diameter:** The diameter of the screw holes that will fix the holder to the surface.
*   **Screw Hole Spacing:** I'd like to specify how far the screw holes are from the center of the bearing. It would be useful if this was an offset instead of a true radius, because then I can change bearing size and the screws remain in generally the same location.
*   **Base Plate Thickness:** How thick the base plate will be.

The design should have a few key features:

*   The bearing should fit snugly into a circular recess. There needs to be a small tolerance so it's not too tight.
*   There needs to be a small support ring on top of the bearing, so it doesn't pop out, or get displaced too far, with a similar small tolerance.
*   The screw holes should be positioned around the bearing and the base plate.
*   The bottom part of the holder can extend up the bearing, like a collar, but this shouldn't interfere with the bearing movement.

I'm also hoping for a few additional things if possible. It would be great if you could use the BOSL2 library for its ease of use. Could you make it so that the screw holes align with the corner points of the polygon shape of the base? It would also be useful if we could specify the tolerances of the bearing fit - a separate value for the outer ring and inner ring - rather than just assuming the same for both.

Hi, I'm looking to design a parametric lens cap for my camera lenses, and I'd like some help generating the OpenSCAD code. I want it to be printable without supports and to clip together easily. I've been playing around with an existing design, but I think I'd rather start from scratch to get the parameters I'm looking for.

Here's the breakdown of what I need:

**Overall Structure:** The lens cap should consist of two main parts: a "top" or "frame" part, and a "base" part. The base is further divided into two sub-parts (which I'll call "base1" and "base2"), which mirror each other. The two parts must clip together. The whole thing needs to be designed such that everything can be printed without supports.

**Dimensions and Parameters:**

*   `threadHeight`: The height of the inner "threaded" part of the base that goes onto the lens.
*   `topHeight`: The height of the top part of the cap.
*   `springHeight`: The height of the flexible "spring" clips.
*   `gap`: Clearance space between the lens and the cap/clips.
*   `wall`: The wall thickness of the cap.
*   `springY`: The overall size of the spring clip in the Y direction.
*   `springThickness`: The thickness of the spring.
*  `travel`: The distance the clip will stick out past the lens before bending.
*   `diameter`:  The inner diameter of the lens cap, ideally a bit smaller than the actual lens diameter for a snug fit.
*   `capDiameter`: The outer diameter of the top of the lens cap.
*   `holeDiameter`: The diameter of the holes for studs, which will be located on one of the base parts.
*   `numStuds`: The number of studs and corresponding holes on the base parts. (Values of 2 or 3).
*  `partSpacing`: The amount of space to use between individual parts in the .stl output.
* `$fs`, `$fa`, and `$fn`: Circle smoothness parameters

**Specific Details:**

*   **Top/Frame Part:** This is essentially a short cylinder with an outer lip. It should have a hole in the center and a cross-brace on the inside to join together. It has a thickness `wall` around the perimeter, and there is a top `topThickness`, which is equal to `wall`.
*   **Base Parts:**
    *   **Clips:** The base parts need to incorporate flexible spring-like clips that grab onto the inside of the frame. These spring clips should have "block" segments to hold their location and should be positioned at `threadHeight` + `topHeight` - ( `springHeight` + `wall` + `gap` ).
    *   **Studs/Holes:** One base part (base1) should have holes that fit studs on the other base part (base2) to keep the parts together. There are 2 or 3, depending on the parameter `numStuds`.
* **Springs:** The spring should be a block with a rounded end, and the width and length will be based on the given parameters. The springs should be positioned based on the given parameters and also have "block" sections on the front and back of the spring.
*   **Assembly:** The base parts will slide into the top part from the sides, and then the studs on one will snap into the holes on the other. The top part needs to allow enough clearance for the sliding and clipping.

**Additional Notes:**

*   The design needs to be printable without supports, so avoid complex overhangs.
*   I'd like to have the parts spaced out when I export to STL so I can print them separately.
*   I'm trying to make sure that I have a minimal amount of bridging, so make sure that the main parts are well connected, and that we aren't printing directly in the air in any case.
*   I'm using the default OpenSCAD libraries for all functions.

Could you generate the OpenSCAD code to accomplish this?

I need a parametric OpenSCAD design for a handle, something like a pastry roller handle. It's cylindrical overall, and I want to be able to control the overall height and diameter of the main part of the handle, as well as add a hole through the handle's center if needed, and control the hole's diameter and depth.

The base of the handle is slightly wider and transitions into the main handle. Think of a cylinder that transitions via a small fillet to the main cylinder.

I'd like the following parameters, all adjustable via variables at the top of the file:

*   `height`: The total height of the handle.
*   `diameter`: The diameter of the main cylindrical section.
*   `hole_diameter`: The diameter of the hole going through the center (set to 0 for no hole).
*   `hole_depth`: The depth of the hole through the center of the handle.
* `base_diameter_ratio`: A ratio which controls the wideness of the base. Should be a multiplier of the `diameter` param
* `fillet_height_ratio`: A ratio which controls the height of the fillet connecting the base and the main cylinder. Should be a multiplier of the `diameter` param.

I want to be able to generate the model without the hole or with a hole using the same file, and also adjust the depth of the hole. If the `hole_diameter` is zero, then don't render any hole features.

Please make sure that the design is parametric, so all parameters are adjustable, and that the file is well-commented. Also, no need to rely on STL files, please generate the 3D geometry natively in OpenSCAD.

Okay, I need a parametric dovetail joint generator for OpenSCAD. I'm envisioning something that allows me to create both the pin and the tail parts, and ideally, both at the same time. I'd like to control the following aspects:

*   **Pin Depth:** The total depth of the pin, from the start of the angled chamfer to the widest part.
*   **Pin Width:** The width of the widest part of the pin.
*   **Tail Height:** The overall height of the tail section.
*   **Pin Width Fraction:** A value that determines the width of the narrowest part of the pin relative to the widest part. For instance, if I set this to 0.4, the narrowest part would be 60% of the widest part.
*   **Pin Height Fraction:** This controls the height of the pin relative to the tail's height. A value of 0.8 would make the pin 80% of the tail's height.
*   **Overhang Depth:** How much extra depth extends beyond the narrow end of the pin and the back of the tail.
*   **Overhang Width:** The additional width added to each side of the tail where the pin chamfers are inserted.
*   **Fit Tolerance:**  A value used to shrink the pin (both in width and depth) so it fits into the tail; basically, the gap between the pin and tail.
*   **Corner Trim:** A small amount of material to remove from the top corners of the widest part of the pin. This helps with fitting.
*   **Pin Or Tail:** A setting that lets me generate just the pin, just the tail, or both. I'd prefer a string-based parameter for this - perhaps options like "pin", "tail", or "both".

I'd like the generator to have two modules: `DovetailPin()` and `DovetailTail()`. There should also be a controlling module named something like `makeJoint()` that uses the `pinOrTail` parameter to make the correct object or objects. Can you do this?

I need an OpenSCAD design for a customizable adapter or bearing, something like a flanged cylinder with an optional through-hole.

The main body should consist of two stacked cylinders. The bottom cylinder is a wider 'washer' or flange, and the top cylinder is a narrower 'pipe' section. I need to be able to control the overall height, the diameters of both cylinders, and the percentage of the overall height occupied by the pipe section (the washer will take up the rest).

Additionally, I need the option of adding a centered through-hole. If I enable it, I need to be able to set that hole's diameter as well.

For quality control, I'd like to be able to set the resolution using the `$fn` parameter.

Could you generate an OpenSCAD file for me that handles all of this? I'm looking for a single `.scad` file to manage all of these parameters.

Hole_Adapter_or_Bearing.scad:
```
// variables
height = 3; // [1:100]

pipe_diamater = 7; // [1:100]
hole = 1; // [1:Yes,0:No]
hole_diameter = 4; // [1:100]
resolution = 100; // [100:rough,150:middle,200:fine]

// model

Hey, I'm looking for some help generating an OpenSCAD design for a ball screw mechanism, similar to the "Threadless Ball Screw" concept I've seen on Thingiverse. I want it to be parametric so I can easily adjust it for different setups.

Here's what I'm thinking:

**Overall Structure:**

*   The design will have a base and then the bearing mounts that hold the bearings.
*   The base can be either a circle, rectangle, or a "fitting" shape that contours to the bearing positions.
*   The bearing mounts should be able to adjust to different bearing pitches and have a tilt option to angle the bearings.

**Parameters for the Base:**

*   **Base Shape:**  `round`, `box` or `fitting`
*   **Base Height:**  A variable for the overall height of the base.
*   **Box Base:** If using a box base, I need variables for `Box_Y_Width` and `Box_X_Width`
*   **Round Base:** If using a round base, a variable for the `Round_Base_Width`
*   **Base Fitting:** If using the `fitting` base, the base should be a rounded polygon around the bearing positions, scaled by a factor. This should be a variable.

**Parameters for Bearings and Smooth Rod:**

*   **Bearing Dimensions:** Should be a vector of three values: `[Inner Diameter, Outer Diameter, Width]`. I'll have various bearings to select from, so I need to be able to easily adjust this.
*   **Number of Bearings:** A variable for the number of bearings, which will be arranged in a circle or fitting shape.
*   **Smooth Rod Diameter:** The diameter of the smooth rod that the bearings will ride on.
*   **Bearing Pitch:** A variable to define the linear movement per rotation, like thread pitch on a threaded rod.
*   **Smooth Rod Clearance:** Amount of space between the smooth rod and the base.
*   **Bearing Nut Size:** The size of the nut for the screws that hold the bearings. Should use a lookup table based on the inner diameter of the bearing.
*   **Screw Length:** A variable for the screw lengths that holds the bearings.
*   **Bearing Rotation Adjustment:** A variable to rotate the bearing array by a specified amount in degrees.
*   **Snug:** This value moves the bearings to create a tighter fit.
*   **Bearing Tilt:** A variable to tilt the bearings inward or outward, in degrees.
*   **Reverse Thread:** A Boolean or choice parameter to reverse the direction of the effective 'thread'.

**Additional Requirements**

*   Include a write library for some text on the screen, and include some important settings.
*   The design should use `facetas` to control the level of detail for circles and curves.
*   Include a simple "bearing" module for reference purposes.
*   I need to use `lookup` tables for parameters like `Bearing_Nut_Size` and `Bearing_Rotation_Adjustment`.
*   I need a good resolution for circles, use 144 facets in the code.
*   I need the code to use millimeters and degrees.

Can you create an OpenSCAD script that implements all of these parameters and features? I would want to be able to adjust these parameters easily using the customizer. Also please specify any external libraries needed.

Hey, I'm looking to generate some cookie cutters with letters or other characters. I found this script, and it's mostly what I want, but I want to make it more flexible. I want to be able to control all the critical dimensions through variables, and it would be great to have some ways to customize the shape more, rather than just using the font's shape directly.

Here's the basic idea: I need a cookie cutter that has a text outline for the cutting edge, a flange at the top for pushing down, and a minimum cutter thickness. I'd like to be able to set the text itself, the height of the cutter, the font, the thickness of the cutting edge, the flange height, the flange width, and that minimum cutter thickness.

Specifically, I'd like to be able to control these parameters:

*   `cutter_text`: The text or character to use.
*   `cutter_size`: The size of the text, which dictates the overall size of the cutter.
*   `cutter_font`: The font used for the text.
*   `cutter_thickness`: The thickness of the cutting edge.
*   `flange_height`: The height of the flange.
*  `cutter_height`: The overall height of the cutting edge (not including the flange).
*   `flange_width`: The width of the flange.
*  `cutterMinimum`: The minimum thickness of the cutting edge.

Ideally, the cutting edge would have rounded tips. The original code uses a `minkowski` sum of the text and cylinders to achieve this, which I'm good with, but it seems inefficient to perform that operation twice for the flange and for the cutting edge. I wonder if there is a way to create the base shape and then apply the minkowski operation multiple times? I think you'll probably want to separate the flange from the cutting edge itself so that the minkowski operation can be applied to them independently? This way the cutting edge can be controlled by `cutter_thickness` and the flange can be controlled by `flange_width`. It'd also be helpful if I can control how much the flange extends past the text outline horizontally.

I'd like the base shape to be extruded, and then that base shape is offset to generate the flange. I think that makes the most sense to keep the shape consistent between the flange and the cutter edge. And of course I'd like the whole thing to be mirrored on the x axis (I think it is).

Could you generate an OpenSCAD file (or files, if it makes sense) that implements this? I don't use any external libraries, so no worries there.

Hey, I'm looking to get a parametric design for a simple hollow box, kind of like a sleeve or a tray, that I can use for different things. I'm thinking of using it initially as a kind of end-cap for cardboard boxes, like pasta boxes, to stop them from spilling. I'd like it to be completely customizable in terms of length, width, height, wall thickness, and the thickness of the end.

Basically, I need an OpenSCAD file that will let me specify:

*   **Inside length:** This is the length of the internal space of the box.
*   **Inside width:** The width of the internal space.
*   **Inside height:** The height of the internal space.
*   **Wall thickness:** The thickness of the walls of the box.
*   **End thickness:**  The thickness of the end of the box.

The box should be open on one of the "ends" (so that it acts like a sleeve), and closed on the other end. It should be designed so that the inner dimensions are the ones I specify using the parameters.

Could you generate the OpenSCAD code for me? I don't need any external libraries.

I need a parametric box design in OpenSCAD. It should be a press-fit box, meaning that the sides will interlock without screws. I've already got a rough design in mind, but it's not quite right.

Here are the key features I'm looking for:

*   **Independent Sides:** Each side of the box (top, bottom, and four walls) should be designed as a separate printable piece. This is crucial because I want to avoid printing tall, thin walls in one go. I will assemble them into a complete box afterwards.

*   **Press-Fit Joints:** The sides should connect using some form of press-fit interlocking mechanism. I think dovetails would work fine, and the attached code shows how this can be implemented.

*   **Parametric Design:** I need the design to be highly parametric, so I can easily adjust the overall box size, wall thickness, and tolerances, without having to manually change values in many locations of the scad file. The parameters should be named: `length`, `width`, `height`, `thickness`, `lockHeight`, and `tolerance`. It would be helpful if the code used comments to make it obvious where the user should modify parameters.

*   **No fixed holes:** I don't want any fixed holes as part of the design. Any holes will be custom, so I would like to add these in a separate file using the final sizes for each side.

*   **Clear Part Names:** The generated files should be easily identifiable. It should be obvious from the filenames which side of the box a particular file describes. I'd like there to be a separate file for each of the sides; i.e. bottom, top, sideX1, sideX2, sideY1, and sideY2.

*   **Units:** It's important that all units are in millimeters.

*   **Library:** I'm not using any libraries for this, please don't include any code that does.

Could you please generate the OpenSCAD files for this design? I've attached a version of the code which shows approximately what the result should look like, with some improvements needed.

I'd like to create a complex, fractal-like 3D model based on a pentagon. It should be recursive, where each level of recursion replaces a pentagon with multiple smaller pentagons.

Here are the key features:

*   **Recursion Depth:** This should be a parameter that controls how many levels of recursion are generated, allowing the user to make more or less complex structures.
*   **Element Size:** The base size of the smallest pentagon in the design needs to be adjustable.
*   **Extrusion Height:** I need a way to control how thick the final 3D structure is.
*   **Colors:** It needs to have two distinct colors, an up color and a down color. The inner pentagons should be one color, and the outer pentagons the other.
*   **Holes:** I want to be able to toggle the presence of a central hole through each pentagonal piece and control the relative size of that hole with another parameter. The hole resolution should also be adjustable.
*   **Lentil Shape:** The top and bottom of the pentagon extrusions should have a lentil shape option. I need to be able to control whether the top or bottom of each pentagonal prism is flat or rounded, and have a parameter to set the resolution of the roundness.

I would like you to generate the OpenSCAD code for this, and it should be fully parametric based on the properties above. I'd prefer not to use any external libraries. I think it should be possible to do everything in base OpenSCAD.

I need a hook designed for quickly attaching a rope or string to a pipe. I want to be able to customize the inner diameter of the hook (to fit different pipe sizes), the thickness of the hook, its width, and the diameter of the hole for the rope. It's important that the hole for the rope has rounded edges to prevent the rope from being cut or damaged when it's under load. I’d like the hook to be relatively simple in shape, nothing fancy. Basically, a “C” shape with the rope hole near the tip.

I'd like a parametric OpenSCAD design that includes all of those customization options. I'm not super familiar with the more advanced libraries yet, so please try to stick with the built-in functions of OpenSCAD, if possible.

I need a parametric wall-mounted holder for Philips LivingColor remotes, specifically designed to accommodate both the older Generation 2 and newer Generation 3 remotes. I've seen a design that does this, and I'll describe the key features, but I'd like you to generate a new, fully parametric OpenSCAD design for me.

Here are the requirements:

1.  **Remote Generation:** The design should be parametric to handle both Generation 2 and Generation 3 remotes. I need a `gen` parameter that can be set to 0 for Gen2 and 1 for Gen3.
2.  **Mounting Holes:** Include an option to add mounting holes for screws. I need a boolean parameter `holes` (0 for no, 1 for yes) to control this. The holes should be countersunk.
3.  **Bottom Cutout:** Provide an option to cut out part of the bottom of the holder to improve access to the remote's buttons. This should be controlled with a boolean parameter `cut_bottom` (0 for no, 1 for yes).
4.  **Remote Dimensions:** The internal dimensions of the holder need to be sized correctly for both remotes. The Gen2 remote has a radius of approximately 43.5mm and a height of 28mm, while the Gen3 remote has a radius of 40mm and a height of 23mm. Please handle all scaling internally within the code based on the `gen` parameter.
5.  **Holder Shape:** The holder should have a basic curved shape that closely matches the contours of the remotes, with a lip at the top to hold the remote in place. A good shape would be a partial rotationally extruded shape.
6.  **Wall Thickness:** Make the wall thickness configurable with a parameter called `wall_thickness`. This should affect the overall size of the holder.
7.  **Countersunk Holes:** The mounting holes, when enabled, should be countersunk with a countersink angle controlled by a `countersink_angle` parameter and countersink outer radius controlled by `countersink_radius`. The screw hole radius should be controlled by a `screw_radius` parameter.
8.  **Bottom Cutout Size:** If the bottom cutout is enabled, it should be a diagonal cut, starting at a reasonable distance from the bottom of the holder and extending up to remove a portion of the lower edge of the holder, and also be parametric with a `cutout_depth` parameter controlling the vertical distance of the cut and `cutout_length` parameter controlling the length of the cut on the bottom of the model.
9.  **Material:** Let's assume standard printing material and ensure the holder is strong enough.

I'm looking for a single .scad file that I can easily modify, and will be using this with the OpenSCAD library. Please generate the code with good documentation and commenting.

//Cut out the bottom to better reach the buttons

I need some help designing a printable object to help with cooling PLA prints, based on this description:

PLA layers sometimes need more time to cool, especially if the layer is small. If a new layer prints before the previous one has cooled enough, you can get deformation and poor quality. The idea is to add a 'dummy' object to the print that forces the printer to take longer printing each layer, which gives the real object time to cool down. These cooling objects are placed far away from the real part in the slicer program.

The object should have a base and then a tapered cone shape. It should be hollow to save material. The following parameters should be configurable:

*   `total_height`: The overall height of the object. It should be at least the height of the real object being printed.
*   `base_diameter`: The diameter of the base.
*   `base_height`: The height of the base.
*   `cone_bottom_diameter`: The diameter of the cone at its base (where it meets the base cylinder).
*  `cone_top_diameter`: The diameter of the cone at its top.
*   `cone_wall_thickness`: The thickness of the cone walls.
*   `cross_cut`: A debugging parameter, defaults to 0, that creates a cross section of the whole object to allow you to see the insides.

The design should use standard OpenSCAD primitives (cylinder, difference, union, translate, cube) and should not require any external libraries.

Hey, I'm looking to generate a fractal-like design in OpenSCAD based on a recursive pentagon pattern. I've got some ideas about how it should work, but I'm not experienced enough to write the SCAD myself.

The basic shape is a pentagon with specific proportions. I'd like to have parameters for:

*   **recursion level:**  This controls how deep the recursion goes, determining the complexity of the final design. Let's call this `iterations`.
*   **total size:**  This will set the overall size of the structure. Let's call this `element_size`.
*   **extrusion height:** This sets the thickness of the individual pentagons at the outer most level. Let's call this `extrusion`.
*   **fudge:** this can be a very small number that will be added to the scale of each pentagon, for offsetting the edges to hide small gaps. Let's call this `fudge`.

The core idea is that each pentagon will spawn smaller pentagons. There will be 10 smaller pentagons, 5 that move outwards from the center, and 5 that move inwards toward the center. In addition, there will be a smaller pentagon in the center, but this should only appear if `iterations` is > 0.

I'd like the code to generate a single `.scad` file that will take those parameters and make the described design. Could you handle this?

Okay, I'd like to design a parametric board game, specifically for Reversi, using OpenSCAD. I've got some specific ideas in mind for how it should look and function, and I want it to be flexible so I can tweak various parameters.

The basic board will be hexagonal, built up from smaller triangle sections, and I want to be able to control how many rows of triangles there are -- basically, the "radius" of the hexagonal board. I'd also like to adjust the size of each hexagon space, which will be defined by the diameter of a circle contained within it. It might be easiest to calculate using a dx parameter for that diameter.

I also need to control how many pieces the board is sliced into, like a pie -- 6 slices for a full hexagon, less if I want it to be a section of the whole board. Also, I want the option to cut the outer edge of the board so that the edges of the slices line up with the centers of the edge hexagons rather than the middle.

It should be possible to toggle between rendering the board itself, and rendering a single reversi stone for printing. The stones themselves should be a lentil shape, a kind of flattened sphere, and also have a cylindrical section to help them sit nicely within the hex spaces of the board.

For assembly, I'd like to have the option of adding joints between the pie slices. These joints will be plugs and sockets of some sort, with options to control their length, whether or not they cut into the board radially, and whether or not they go around the edge, also a parameter for their fitting tolerance, and, ideally, a separated plug option if I find it necessary to print those individually for any reason.

Finally, I'd like to have some control over how the board is printed, specifically whether or not it's hollow, with an option for wall thickness and radial and edge cuts along the wall if it is hollow. I also have a desire for a 45' angle to support any ceiling and joint plugs, but I understand this may be a bit trickier.

I guess overall there are a few "global" parameters I'd like to control -- specifically the detail level and a fudge factor for small adjustments.

I think that covers it all. Here's a summary of the parameters:

**Board:**

*   `rr`: Rows count (radius) - an integer from 1 to 100.
*   `dx`: Stone size (diameter of hexagon inner circle).
*   `pp`: Hexant count (pie slices) - an integer from 1 to 6.
*   `ce`: Cut edge (boolean, 0 or 1).
*   `so`: Stones rendering (boolean, 0 or 1).

**Joints:**

*   `jp`: Plugs length (0 for none).
*   `cp`: Cut plugs (radial boolean, 0 or 1)
*   `ep`: Edge plugs (boolean, 0 or 1)
*   `pf`: Plug fit (float)
*   `ps`: Separated plugs (currently only 0)

**Carving:**

*   `hw`: Hollow board (boolean, 0 or 1)
*   `wt`: Wall thickness (float)
*   `cw`: Cut wall (radial boolean, 0 or 1)
*    `ew`: Edge wall (boolean, 0 or 1)
*   `cs`: Ceiling support (currently 0)

**Global:**

*   `ds`: Detail level (int for `$fn`)
*   `ff`: Fudge factor (float)

It would be great if the code was easy to understand and modify. Please avoid any magic numbers that aren't parameters. I do not have any particular preference for specific libraries, though I know MCAD exists. Thank you!

Hey, I'm looking to create a parametric OpenSCAD model for a bracer stencil, and I'd like your help! I have a basic idea, and I've even got some calculations, but I'm not super confident in my OpenSCAD abilities. I want to be able to define the wrist arc, elbow arc, and length of the bracer, and have it output a 2D shape that I can use to cut out the bracer from leather or whatever.

Here's the basic logic:

1.  **Parameters**:
    *   `WristArc`: The length of the arc that goes around the wrist (in mm).
    *   `ElbowArc`: The length of the arc that goes around the elbow (in mm).
    *   `Length`: The overall length of the bracer (in mm).
2.  **Calculations**:
    *   `Wrist2orig`:  Distance from wrist arc to the center of the circles. Calculated as `(WristArc * Length) / (ElbowArc - Length)`.
    *   `Elbow2orig`: Distance from elbow arc to the center of the circles, is simply `Wrist2orig + Length`.
    *   `Angle`: The angle, in degrees, to rotate the second cutout, calculated from `(WristArc / Wrist2orig) * (180/pi)`.  You can approximate pi as 3.14159.

3.  **The Design**:
    *   Start with two concentric cylinders, with a height of 2mm and 3mm respectively. The larger cylinder is centered at the origin with a radius of `Elbow2orig`. The smaller cylinder is also centered with a radius of `Wrist2orig`.
    *   Next, create two "cutouts". Each cutout is a cube, centered on the XY plane, and with a height of 4mm and 5mm respectively. The first cut out should be positioned such that its left face is on the Y axis, and extending to a width of `Elbow2orig * 2`, and the depth of `Elbow2orig * 2+5`.
    *   The second cutout should be rotated `Angle` degrees about the Z axis, and translated by `-Elbow2orig` in the X axis, and should have the same dimensions as the first cutout, but a height of 5mm.
    * Finally, use a difference operation to remove the cutouts from the circles.

I was thinking you'd return a single file that calculates and produces the 2D shape, would that be possible? Also, it would be great if you could use `$fn` to make the circles smooth! I don't think I need any special libraries for this, it seems like pretty standard OpenSCAD stuff. Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks!

[Assistant]
BracerStencil.scad:
```
WristArc=160;
ElbowArc=260;
Length=180;

//hidden---------------
Wrist2orig=(WristArc*Length)/(ElbowArc-Length);
Elbow2orig=Wrist2orig+Length;
Angle=(WristArc/Wrist2orig)*(180/3.14159);

difference(){
union(){
difference(){
cylinder(r=Elbow2orig,h=2,center=true, $fn=50);
cylinder(r=Wrist2orig,h=3,center=true, $fn=50);
}
}

union(){
	translate([Elbow2orig,0,0])
		cube([Elbow2orig*2,Elbow2orig*2+5,4],center=true);

	rotate([0,0,Angle])
		translate([-Elbow2orig,0,0])
			cube([Elbow2orig*2,Elbow2orig*2+5,5],center=true);

Hey, I'm looking to get a parametric OpenSCAD design for a coat hanger, or rather, a multi-hook coat rack. I've got some basic parameters in mind, but I'd like to be able to tweak them easily.

The design should have a base plate that sits against the wall, and multiple hooks that stick out. Here's what I'm thinking for the parameters:

*   **Number of hooks:** I'd like to control how many hooks there are (e.g. 1 to 7).
*   **Base Plate Height:** The height of the rectangular base plate.
*   **Base Plate Width:** The width of the rectangular base plate (and the horizontal spacing between hooks).
*   **Base Plate Thickness:** The thickness of the base plate.
*  **Screw Hole Diameter:**  The diameter of the holes to mount the rack
*   **Stem Length:** The length of the stem (the part that sticks out from the base).
*   **Stem Diameter Bottom:**  The diameter of the base of the stem where it attaches to the base plate.
*   **Stem Diameter Top:** The diameter of the top of the stem.
*   **Size of tip:** The diameter of the spherical tip at the end of the stem.
*  **Angle of Stem:** The angle of the stem relative to the base plate.

I'm picturing each hook as being a baseplate with a stem angled upwards and outwards, terminating in a spherical tip. The baseplates should be attached side by side, so they form a continuous mounting surface. I'll probably want to control the mounting hole positions, but maybe that can wait? For now, put the mounting holes on either end of the baseplate (one hole if there is only one hook, two for two or more, and at both far edges of the baseplate if there is more than one). I'd really appreciate it if you could generate an OpenSCAD file for me with those parameters built-in.

Oh, and I'm not sure which libraries are needed here; feel free to use whatever is necessary to create this design most efficiently. I don't need it to be super complicated, just functional and parametrically adjustable.

I'd like a customizable razor handle designed in OpenSCAD. It should have a knurled grip, a rounded dome at the top, a bevel at the bottom, and a hole for a nut to attach a razor head.

Here are the specifics:

*   **Overall Dimensions:** The overall length should be customizable, as well as the main handle diameter. Let's start with defaults of 85mm length and 15mm diameter.
*   **Top Dome:** The top of the handle should have a smooth, dome-like transition. The length of this unknurled dome area should be configurable, and the curvature of the dome should be controlled by a scale factor, allowing for a flatter or more rounded dome. Default to 10mm length and a scale of 2.5.
*   **Knurling:** The main body of the handle should have a knurled finish. I'd like to control how smooth the knurling looks; higher values for 'smoothing' should result in smoother knurls. Default this smoothing to 75.
*   **Bevel:** The bottom edge should have a beveled cut with a customizable angle and distance from the main cylinder.  Start with a 40 degree angle and a 2mm distance.
*   **Screw Hole:** Inside the handle, there should be a cylindrical hole to accommodate the screw for attaching the razor head. I need to be able to set both the diameter and the length of this hole. Default to 5.8mm diameter and 8mm length.
*   **Nut Pocket:** The handle needs a recess at the top for an M5 nut to sit flush inside. The nut's hex flat diameter, and the nut height should also be parameters (8mm and 4.2mm are good starting points).

I'd like the design to be parametric so I can adjust all these dimensions and properties.  Please use the `knurledFinishLib_v2.scad` library to generate the knurling (that's the only library needed), and make sure all the required parameters are configurable at the top of the main file. Also, I need a little bit of tolerance built-in for the nut and the general bounding shape for ease of printing. Let's say 1mm.

Hi, I'm looking to create a set of parametric servo arms in OpenSCAD, similar to the existing `Parametric_Servo_Arms_3F_2F_1F.scad` file, but I need some flexibility and more features.  I'd like the design to be completely from scratch, no modifications of existing code.

Here's what I need:

1.  **Servo Hub Support**: The design should support three different servo hub types: 3F-25T, 2F-22T, and 1F-15T, exactly like the included code does, but driven by separate modules and definitions.  The existing code uses a `hub_type` variable; I'd like that replaced with explicit modules. So something like `servo_arm_3F`, `servo_arm_2F`, and `servo_arm_1F` to specify the different hub types.

2.  **Parametric Arm Length and Count**:  I should be able to specify the length of the arm (`arm_length`) and the number of arms (`arm_count`) that extend from the center hub. These should be parameters for each servo arm module I mentioned earlier.

3.  **Clearance**:  There needs to be a parameter (`servo_head_clear`) to control the clearance between the servo head and the arm.  I'd like this to be a global variable, so I can specify this across all servo arm types.

4. **Tapering:** Like the example, I'd like to have control over how the arms taper with a taper_amount variable. It could be like the example implementation, where `taper_amount = 3` is full taper, `2.5` is a medium taper, and `2` is no taper.

5. **Tooth Definition**: The design needs to allow the specification of head and tooth parameters (diameter, height, thickness, screw diameter; tooth count, height, length, width) for each of the hub types. I would prefer that these to be defined as a named constant, each defining a specific tooth profile, and accessible to the specific servo arm modules. That is, instead of `FUTABA_3F_SPLINE`, `FUTABA_2F_SPLINE`, and `FUTABA_1F_SPLINE`, I'd like the names to follow the same pattern as the modules above - something like `SERVO_3F_TOOTH`, `SERVO_2F_TOOTH`, and `SERVO_1F_TOOTH`.

6. **Individual Servo Modules:** I need specific modules for each servo type (3F, 2F, and 1F), such as `servo_arm_3F(length, count)`, `servo_arm_2F(length, count)`, and `servo_arm_1F(length, count)` for each supported hub type.  I would prefer that those modules only take `length` and `count` as parameters.

7.  **Holes:** There needs to be parametric support for adding holes along the length of each arm, with a standard diameter specified as `arm_screw_diameter`, and evenly spaced.

8. **No Libraries:** This should all be in one file, without any external libraries.

9. **Example Module:** Finally, an example `demo()` module should be provided, to instantiate a servo arm using the parametric controls and the standard servo arm parameters. This should have the default rotation as well, the same as the included code, using `rotate([0, 180, 0])`.

Essentially, I'm looking for a complete rewrite of the provided code, emphasizing modularity, clarity, and explicit parameter definitions, without relying on any external libraries.  Can you help me generate these from scratch?
