Okay, I need a design for a drill stand that can hold a drill bit at a specified angle. I've got some basic ideas in my head, but I want the design to be parametric so I can easily change things up.

Here's the general concept: the stand should consist of a block of material with a hole bored through it at a specific angle to accept the drill bit. I also need some markings on the top of the block to indicate the center point of the angled hole, so I know exactly where the drill will be going. This should be printable.

Specifically, I'd like the following parameters:

*   **`bit_angle`**: The angle at which the drill bit will be held, in degrees. This should be adjustable, probably between 10 and 90 degrees.
*   **`bit_diameter`**: The diameter of the drill bit to be held.  This will also need to be adjustable, maybe from 1mm to 14mm for now?
*   **`block_height`:** How tall the block itself is, independent of the bit diameter and angle.
*   **`block_width`**: The width of the block.
*   **`block_depth`:** The depth of the block

The output should have:
* A main block to hold the drill bit.
* The angled hole through the block.
* Center marking notches on the block so I know where the drill point will be. These should be on top of the main block, where the z axis is greatest, and be parallel to the x axis. These notches should have an overall length greater than the block width. The notches should be centered in the x axis relative to the block center.
* The drill bit is a cylinder

I think that's all I need.  I'd like the design to be done in OpenSCAD, and I'd prefer it if you used the BOSL2 library if that makes sense. I know how to use modules and functions in that, so it should make the code cleaner.

Okay, I'm looking to design a customizable wristband with a Triforce logo on it, and I'd like to use OpenSCAD to make it parametric. I've started with a basic design, but I'd like to improve upon it.

Here's what I'm aiming for:

**Core Functionality:**

*   **Wristband:** I need a basic band shape that's a rectangular prism with rounded ends. The height, width and thickness of the wristband needs to be adjustable, for now we can assume the thickness is 2.5mm.
*   **Holes:** The wristband should have two small cylindrical holes near each end for attaching a clasp or something. The radius of these holes should be adjustable, their center to be offset by 4mm from the left and right borders of the wristband.
*   **Triforce Logo:** I want a Triforce symbol centered on the face of the band. The overall size of the Triforce should be scaled relative to the band's height to ensure proper fit, and its depth should be the same as the thickness of the wristband.

**Parameters (that I want to be easily adjustable):**

*   `wristband_height`: The height of the wristband (the dimension that will be on the wrist)
*   `wristband_width`: The overall length of the wristband.
*    `wristband_thickness`: The thickness of the wristband, default to 2.5mm
*   `hole_radius`: The radius of the small holes for attaching clasps.
*   `logo_scale_factor`: a scaling factor to control the size of the triforce logo relative to the height, default at `c/18` (where `c = wristband_height - 2`),

**Specific Requests:**

1.  **Rounded Ends:** Can the ends of the band be rounded? I'd like a rounded capsule shape overall, instead of a simple rectangle. The radius of this curvature should be half the `wristband_height`.
2.  **Triforce Logo Refinement:** Could you replace the polygon-based Triforce with one that is built from three equilateral triangles. This should be placed at the center of the wristband along its length. The size of the triforce should be scalable relative to the height of the band to make sure it doesn't extend beyond the band limits.
3.   **Extrusion Instead of Difference:** Instead of subtracting the triforce from the band, I would like the triforce to be extruded outwards from the band, meaning that it is a shape that is raised above the surface of the band.
4.  **Use of Libraries:** It would be great if you could use a library for this instead of primitive code. I think `MCAD` would be the best fit for the rounded capsule shape.

I'm looking for a single, well-commented OpenSCAD file that I can use. I'm not too concerned with units. I'm trying to get this 3d printed.

Thanks!

Okay, I'm looking to design a kind of spiky ball, and I'd like an OpenSCAD file that I can customize. I'm thinking of it as a desk organizer – you know, for hanging keys and USB drives.

Here's the basic idea: It should have a central sphere, and then spikes radiating out from that sphere's surface. I'd like to be able to control the following:

*   **Sphere Diameter:** I need a parameter to set the diameter of the central sphere. I'd like to be able to specify a range, say from 10mm to 100mm.
*   **Number of Spikes:** I want to set how many spikes there are. It should be a good number so they don't get too crowded or too sparse. A range like 100 to 500 seems good.
*   **Spike Length:** I need to be able to control how long the spikes are. Maybe a range of 10mm to 150mm would work.
*   **Spike Length Variation (Entropy):** I don't want all the spikes to be the same length. I'd like a way to add a little random variation to their lengths. Think of it as "entropy". A value of 0 would mean all spikes are the same length, and a higher number would mean a bigger spread in lengths. Maybe a scale of 0 to 10 would work well.  The spike length randomness should be centered around the given spike length parameter, such that the specified spike length is the _average_ length.

The spikes themselves should be thin cylinders. Just simple cylinders are fine for now. I don't need anything fancy. They should also be at random rotations on the surface of the sphere, and I should be able to adjust their rotation as well.

Basically, I want the whole thing to look like a kind of chaotic, but useful, spiky ball.

Also, I noticed that the OpenSCAD customizer didn't work on the file I tried, so I'd really appreciate it if the file you make has all of the settings exposed as customizer variables.

Let me know if you have any questions!

[Assistant]
spikes.scad:
```
// Diameter of center sphere
diameter = 30; // [10:100]
spikes = 200; // [100:500]
spike_length = 60; // [10:150]
entropy = 10; // [0:10]

sphere(diameter);

range = entropy/10 * (spike_length - diameter) / 2;
length_diffs = rands(-range, range, spikes);
union() {
	for(i = [0: spikes]) {
		rotate(rands(0,360,3)) cylinder(spike_length + length_diffs[i],2,false);
		rotate(rands(0,360,3)) cylinder(spike_length + length_diffs[i],2,false);
	}

Okay, I'm looking to create a parametric design for an arrowhead, kind of like a medieval style arrowhead, for use as a necklace pendant or ornament. I've got a general idea, and want the design to be customizable.

Here’s what I’m picturing:

The arrowhead will have a cylindrical core, with two pyramids attached to each end. I want a hole going through the cylinder, large enough to pass a string or small chain for the necklace.

Here's the breakdown of the features I’d like to be able to control:

*   **Cylinder:** I'd like to specify the length of the main cylinder, and also its radius.
*   **Hole:** This is a hole going through the cylinder's center. I need to be able to adjust its radius too.
*   **Pyramids:** The top and bottom pyramids are the same basic shape but I want to control the apex (height from base). The base of the pyramids should match the cylinder’s radius and the apex should be specified as a distance above the cylinder base. It would be useful to control the rotation of the pyramids around the cylinder’s z axis.

So, to be clear, here are the parameters I'd like to be able to adjust:

*   `cylinder_length`: Length of the central cylinder.
*   `cylinder_radius`: Radius of the central cylinder.
*   `hole_radius`: Radius of the hole going through the cylinder.
*   `top_pyramid_apex`: Height of the top pyramid.
*   `bottom_pyramid_apex`: Height of the bottom pyramid.
*   `top_pyramid_rotation`: Rotation around the Z axis, applied to the top pyramid.
*    `bottom_pyramid_rotation`: Rotation around the Z axis, applied to the bottom pyramid.

The final object should be centered at the origin, and I'd like to be able to use the design in my OpenSCAD software.

Also, please make sure the code is well commented so it's easy for me to understand how it's all working.

Okay, I have this idea for a phone charging hangar, and I'd like to get an OpenSCAD file (or files, if necessary) to make it. I've got the basic concept, but I need it to be parametric so I can adjust it for different phone sizes and charger types.

Basically, it's a hanger that you hook over the charger plug, with a little shelf or platform to rest the phone on while it's charging. Think of it like a wall mount that's supported by the charger instead of screws.

Here's the breakdown of what I need:

*   **Hook:** This is the part that loops around the charger. It should be a cylindrical shape with a hole in the middle. I need to be able to change the radius of both the cylinder and the hole to accommodate different charger sizes. Let's call this `charger_outer_radius` and `charger_inner_radius`.
*   **Support Structure:** A simple rectangular prism that connects the hook to the platform. I'd like to control its width, length, and height, maybe `support_width`, `support_length`, and `support_height`
*   **Platform:** A rectangular platform that sticks out from the support, it'll hold the phone. It needs to be hollowed out on top so the phone sits in a little recess. Parameters here should be platform width (`platform_width`), platform length (`platform_length`), the height of the platform itself (`platform_thickness`), and how deep the recess is (`platform_recess_depth`), as well as an offset from the support structure (`platform_offset`).

I think that's it, so basically you should create a few modules that handle each of these parts separately, that can be assembled into the final product. It would be really helpful if you used comments to clarify what each parameter controls.

I'm not particularly familiar with the included libraries, but I’ve seen some really impressive designs using the BOSL2 library - if you think it would make this easier to create, could you include those libraries as well?

Okay, I'm looking to design a parametric rubber band loom in OpenSCAD, and I've got some specific ideas in mind. I want it to be fully customizable, allowing users to easily adjust the size and peg layout.

Here’s what I need:

**Overall Structure:**
*   The loom should have a rectangular base.
*   The base should be defined by parameters for `base_X` (length), `base_Y` (width), and `base_thickness`.
*   The loom should feature pegs that stand up from the base.

**Peg Design:**
*   Each peg should have a cylindrical base and a slightly wider cylindrical top - essentially a step or flange at the top.
*   There should be a gap cut into each peg to facilitate looping rubber bands.
*   The peg's dimensions will be controlled by parameters for `peg_thickness`, `peg_height`, `gap_width`, `step_width`, and `step_percent` (specifying the height of the top step as a percentage of the total `peg_height`).
*   I'd like to be able to control the number of pegs along the X axis using `X_pegs`.

**Peg Arrangement:**
*   I want the pegs to be arranged in multiple rows.
*   The spacing between pegs in each row and between the rows themselves will need to be calculated based on the base dimensions and `X_pegs`
*   I'd like a parameter for `num_rows` so I can specify how many rows of pegs to generate, and I would like the spacing between the rows to be calculated automatically based on the base dimensions and `num_rows`. The first row should be placed `peg_thickness * 2` away from the edge on both X and Y, and the same for the last row.

**Parametric Control:**
*   All dimensions should be easily adjustable via parameters at the beginning of the file.
*   I'd like to be able to specify min/max values in the comments for key parameters, like I did with the file I showed you, so users can know what kind of values to use for different sizes.

**Specific Parameters I Expect:**

*   `base_X` (base length, [10:500])
*   `base_Y` (base width, [10:500])
*   `base_thickness` (base thickness)
*   `peg_thickness` (peg base diameter, [1:10])
*   `peg_height` (peg height, [10:50])
*   `gap_width` (gap width in peg)
*   `X_pegs` (number of pegs along X axis)
*   `step_width` (width of step on top of peg, [0:5])
*   `step_percent` (% of peg height for step, [5:90])
*   `num_rows` (number of peg rows)

I think that's everything! I'd like a single .scad file that handles all of this. I would prefer not to use any libraries if possible. Can you generate that for me?

Okay, I'd like to create a parametric Christmas ornament, kind of like a spherical ball with decorative holes. I've seen some designs like this before, but I want full control over the parameters.

Specifically, I need an OpenSCAD design that allows me to:

1.  **Define the overall sphere size** by specifying its diameter.

2.  **Choose from several hole shapes:** I'd like options like pentagram, heart, triangle, circle, a ring of circles, and several star shapes - let's say a regular star and two variations of a star, maybe one with more points than the other (I don't know the exact names but I can describe them further later if needed). I want to be able to select a single one of these for my design.

3.  **Control the number of holes** around the sphere's equator.

4.  **Scale the hole size:** There should be a parameter to make the holes bigger or smaller relative to the default size, expressed as a decimal multiplier.

5.  **Add an optional LED candle mount:** This should be a hole and surrounding mount at the bottom (south pole) of the sphere to fit a standard LED candle. I need parameters to set the candle's diameter and the height of the part that goes inside the hole. The candle holder should have a collar part extending outside the ball.

6.  **Include an optional fixed loop** for hanging at the top (north pole) of the sphere or instead, a hole to attach a pin-based loop. The design should be configured to generate a fixed loop or a loop-pin hole, but not both. If the pin-loop hole is selected, a separate pin should be included in another scad file that fits this hole so they can be printed as separate parts. If neither of these options are set, a single small hole should be placed at the top of the sphere.

7. **Print upside down:** Some of the hole shapes might print better if the sphere is printed upside down. I'd like a parameter to set whether the sphere is printed "right side up" or "upside down".

8. **Include or exclude support structures:** If the led candle mount is included, no supports are needed. If the led candle mount is _not_ included, support poles to prevent the ball from rolling during printing should be added automatically. These support structures should be optional and also be individually enabled or disabled.

9.  **Control support placement:** There should be parameters to adjust the distance of the support poles from the south pole in layers. These values will be defined using a scale factor.

10. **Rotate hole shapes:** I'd like to be able to rotate the hole shapes by an arbitrary angle.

11.  **Wall thickness:** I'd like to set the wall thickness of the sphere.

I'm not particularly concerned with the file names, so they can be named whatever makes the most sense to you.  I'm also not using any external libraries.

Can you generate the OpenSCAD files for this? Let me know if you need any clarification or more details.

Okay, I'm looking to design a marker clip, and I've got a few specific ideas about how it should work. I want it to be a clip that can attach either a marker to a whiteboard or a whiteboard to a marker – either way works for me.

The basic idea is a kind of C-shaped clamp. One part of the C will grip the markerboard, and the other part will grip the marker. There should be an adjustable or parametric way to define both the thickness of the markerboard and the radius of the marker.

Here are the parameters I'd like to control:

*   **`BOARD_THICKNESS`**: The thickness of the markerboard.
*   **`MARKER_RADIUS`**: The radius of the marker.
*  **`CLIP_THICKNESS`**: The thickness of the material that makes up the clip.
*  **`CLIP_WIDTH`**: The width of the clip.

The clip should have a C-shape profile viewed from the side, with the "legs" of the C pinching the marker and the board respectively.  The part of the C that is gripping the marker will need to be a little different to allow the marker to slide in and out.  I think a partial cylinder would work well. The part of the C gripping the board can be a simple rectangular profile. The transition between the two should be a solid connection.

I'd like the clip to be parametric, so that I can easily adjust it to work with different markerboard thicknesses and marker diameters. I'm using OpenSCAD and I would like you to provide the code for this. Please don't assume that I have any libraries installed - I want all the code needed in single file.

```
// The thickness of your marker board
BOARD_THICKNESS=10; //[1:100]

// The radius of your marker
MARKER_RADIUS=10; //[1:100]

// The thickness of the resulting clip
CLIP_THICKNESS=1.5; //[1:10]

// How wide the clip will be
CLIP_WIDTH=20; // [1:100]

// preview[view:south east, tilt:top]

rotate([90, 0, 0]) {
	difference() {
		cube(size=[BOARD_THICKNESS+CLIP_THICKNESS*2, CLIP_WIDTH, MARKER_RADIUS*2]);
		translate([CLIP_THICKNESS, -1, CLIP_THICKNESS]) cube(size=[BOARD_THICKNESS, CLIP_WIDTH+3, MARKER_RADIUS*3]);
	}
	translate([-BOARD_THICKNESS+CLIP_THICKNESS, 0.001, MARKER_RADIUS]) {
		rotate([270, 0, 0]) difference() {
			cylinder(r=MARKER_RADIUS, h=CLIP_WIDTH-0.001);
			translate([0, 0, -1]) cylinder(r=MARKER_RADIUS-CLIP_THICKNESS, h=CLIP_WIDTH+3);

Okay, I'm looking to generate a customizable fan grille for my 3D printer and I'd like to do it in OpenSCAD. I've seen some examples and have a good idea of what I want.

First, I'd like to be able to select from some standard fan sizes, like 36mm, 38mm, 40mm, 52mm, 60mm, 80mm, 92mm, 120mm, 127mm, 140mm, and 150mm, so that's the first thing to put into the design, some presets. But, I also want a custom mode for less common or nonstandard sizes. If I choose custom, I'll need to input the overall grille width and the center-to-center distance between the bolt holes. I'll also need a parameter for the bolt hole diameter.

Globally, I need parameters for the overall grille thickness, edge width (for the flat outside rim), the number of internal vanes, the width of each vane, the number of circular rings, and the width of the rings. Also, I'd like an option for either having a solid center support or a hollow one. For all of these parameters, I'd like to control them in the OpenSCAD customizer interface.

The design should be a basically a flat disc with bolt holes, with the internal grille structure including the vanes, rings, and center support. The outside of the grille should have some rounded corners. The inner cut-out area where the vanes, rings, and center support sit, should have rounded corners as well, but the radius should be larger than the outside corner radius.

For the vanes, they should originate at the center of the grille or a center support and then run outward to the inner radius.  The vanes should be at equal angular spacing. The rings should be circles at various diameters, with spacing to be determined so that they run from the center support and extend out to the inner radius.

I'm not sure what libraries I might need, but I'd like the code to be well structured. Could you generate the necessary OpenSCAD file(s) for me?

Okay, I'm looking to create a parametric snowflake ornament generator in OpenSCAD, similar to the one described in the provided text. I want it to be able to produce a few different things: individual snowflake ornaments, the three-part "snowball" ornaments, and layouts for printing. I'd like the design to be configurable with a seed, just like in the description, so that each snowflake is unique based on that. It uses the `Write.scad` and `build_plate.scad` libraries.

Here are the main things I need it to do, along with some specifics:

*   **Snowflake Generation:** The core should be a recursive snowflake generator. It starts with a center shape (maybe a hexagon, but this should be a variable) and then has arms that branch out. Each branch layer should have its own parameters, like length, width, angle, and whether or not to have "hexagons" at the tips. The number of branching layers (depth) should be configurable.  The "hexagons" should really be able to have a variable number of sides and some extra thickness.
*   **Randomization:** All of these snowflake parameters (length, width, angle, depth, side count of "hexagons") need to be randomized based on the seed. It looks like the original code uses a different seed for each parameter array.
*   **Ornament Assembly:** The snowflake ornaments need to be able to be easily assembled into "snowballs" – i.e., three snowflakes intersecting. So I need to be able to generate the individual snowflake parts for this. These snowflakes also need clips/slots to hold them together. I need to be able to add an adjustable clearance value for these parts. I need to be able to trim the clips if needed, and set the ring diameter, and the clip thickness.
*   **Print Layout:**  I want to be able to generate a plate layout, positioning the three snowball pieces next to each other for easy printing. It should be able to add space between the snowflakes on the plate to help with printing.  It should also be configurable for different printer plates, from pre-set options and manual dimensions.
*   **Minimum Thickness:** It needs a minimum thickness setting, so lines are ensured to be printable and sturdy. It needs a way to prevent single-line widths that may not adhere to the print bed.
*   **Scaling:** A global scale parameter to adjust the overall size is necessary. This shouldn't change the minthickness.
*  **Labeling:** The ornaments should include a label showing their seed value. It should be printable, so probably some kind of `write` or text function will be needed. The ornament part itself should have a hook on it, and an ID label.
*  **Lithophane:**  It should be able to produce a lithophane of the snowflake.

I'm imagining a few top-level modules based on the "part" selector like the original code. Something like: "Snowflake", "SnowflakeOrnament", "Snowball1", "Snowball2", "Snowball3", "Plate", and "Litho".

Can you generate the parametric OpenSCAD files for this, including the usage of the `Write.scad` and `build_plate.scad` libraries?

Okay, I'm looking for an OpenSCAD design for a plug that fits into the end of a square aluminum tube.

The basic shape will be a square plug with rounded corners, designed to fit snugly inside the tube. The outer part of the plug should have a small lip or flange that rests against the outside edge of the tube to provide a stop. So, kind of like a top hat shape, where the brim sits on the outside of the tube, and the crown goes inside.

I'll need several parameters to customize this design:

*   `bar_dia`: The outer diameter (or, side length) of the square tube.
*   `wall_thick`: The thickness of the tube wall.
*   `plug_length`: The length of the plug section that goes _inside_ the tube.
*   `slot_height`:  The height of a rectangular slot or cutout on one side of the plug, that is used for retention.
*   `slot_width`: The width of the retention slot or cutout.

The lip or flange on the outside should be a bit thicker to add strength, so it can be something like 2mm in height, and it should extend slightly beyond the outer edges of the tube. The corners should be rounded to make the part fit into the tubing easier -  a radius of 1mm is fine.

The retention slot should be on the "inside" part of the plug and centered on one side face and should start at the end of the internal plug part and extend inwards for its specified height.

I would like to be able to adjust all of these parameters. Also, please try to keep the code neat and readable - I plan to modify it.

I'm not using any special libraries right now, so it will just need to be standard OpenSCAD code. Could you generate that for me?

Okay, I'm looking to design a rounded box with a lid, and I want it to be fully parametric in OpenSCAD. I've seen a few designs out there, but I want to make sure I have control over every dimension, and I have a specific way I'd like the lid to fit.

Here's what I need:

**Overall Structure:**

*   A rounded rectangular box with a separate, removable lid.
*   The box and lid should have rounded corners (the same radius for all corners).
*   There should be a supporting ledge inside the box for the lid to rest on; the ledge should not use any of the box wall thickness, instead being inside of it.

**Parameters:**

*   **Box Dimensions:**
    *   `boxLength`: Overall length of the box.
    *   `boxWidth`: Overall width of the box.
    *   `boxHeight`: Overall height of the box.
    *   `cornerRadius`: Radius of the rounded corners for both the box and lid.
    *   `wallThickness`: Thickness of the walls of the box.
    *   `bottomThickness`: Thickness of the bottom of the box.

*   **Lid Dimensions:**
    *   `lidThickness`: Thickness of the lid.
    *   `lidEdgeThickness`: Thickness of the lid's edge; this value would control the overlap of the lid with the supporting lip on the box.
    *    `lidClearance`: the clearance on all sides of the lid, between the lid and box.
*   **Text:**
	*   `text`: Text to be printed on the top of the lid
	*	`textSize`: Size of the text
	*	`textThickness`: Thickness of the text

*   **Notch:**
    *   `withNotch`: A boolean to control whether a thumb notch is present on the lid to assist with removal.

**Specifics:**

*   The lid should fit *inside* the box, resting on the internal ledge. The ledge should be slightly below the top edge of the box so the lid can sit flush with the top of the box when placed inside it.
*   The clearance between the lid and the inside wall of the box, as well as the supporting ledge should be adjustable.
*   The thumb notch (if `withNotch` is true) should be a semi-circular cutout on one side of the lid, to help lift it off.

**Outputs/Modules:**

*   I'd like the design to have a module for just the box (`showBox()`), a module for just the lid (`showLid()`) and a module to show both (`showBoth()`).
*   There should be separate modules to make the box, the lid, and the internal supporting rim.
*   I'd like to use the `writecube` module from the `write` library to embed text on the top of the lid.
*   I'm not particular about how the modules are laid out, but it must work well and be easy to understand.

Please generate the necessary OpenSCAD files for this design. I'm excited to see what you come up with!

Okay, I've been playing around with this lithophane ornament design, and I think it's really neat, but I'd like to make some significant changes to make it more customizable and robust. I want to use this as a base idea but with more control over the final product and I'm hoping you can help.

Here's the basic idea: I want a circular, customizable lithophane ornament that can be lit from behind. Currently, the design takes an image, stretches it to fit a circle, and uses the image's grayscale values to create a variable-thickness surface. That part I like. The existing design is also meant to be paired with a standard holiday light string, and has a hole for one light to poke through, which is nice and I'd like to retain that. I also really like the idea of being able to customize the overall thickness of the shell itself, since I want to be able to use different infills for the print.

But, I'd like to be able to customize the following aspects of the ornament:

1.  **Shape:** Instead of just a circle, I'd like to be able to choose from a few different shapes for the lithophane surface. I'm thinking a circle (as is), a square, and maybe a star shape (a simple 5 point star would be fine, but I'd like to be able to specify the depth of the points).

2.  **Image Input:** I'd need to be able to specify a different file for the image, like the current design. I'd also like to be able to adjust the size and position of the image within the chosen shape. So, for example, I can make the image smaller to create a border, or move it off center if I want to. I'd also like to be able to control the amount the image is stretched to fit.

3.  **Hole Customization:** The hole for the light should be customizable. I'd like to be able to set the diameter of the main hole, and also have independent control over the diameter and position of the two side holes (the ones that help you slide the light in from the side). In the current design, the side holes also include a bit of a slot which I don't think is necessary. The side holes should have an option for a slot to also be present.

4.  **Layer Count:** I'd like the number of layers to be controllable as well, like in the original, but I'd also like to be able to specify a variable layer height for the surface so I can really dial in the print settings for the lithophane itself. The solid back will need a separate layer height setting since it doesn't need to be fine.

5.  **Back Shape:** Instead of just a half sphere, I'd like to be able to choose from a few back shapes: a half-sphere, a flat back, or a back with a conical shape. I'd also like to be able to set the thickness for each of the back shapes independently.

6.  **Shell Thickness:** The current design has a fixed thickness for the main shell, and I'd like that to be customizable as well so I can better control the strength of the print.

7. **Attachment:** I'd like to be able to add a little loop at the top, for stringing it on a tree. It can be a simple loop shape. It should also be optionally removable to print on its own. I would like to specify its radius and position.

Finally, I'm thinking it might be nice to add a small circular stand, so I can use this on a desk rather than hanging it. This can be a simple cylinder. I should be able to control its diameter and height, and the attachment to the ornament should also be optional.

I know this is a lot, but I think having all these options would make the ornament really versatile. It would also be great if the design was organized in a modular way, so it's easy to adjust specific sections without messing up everything else.

I don't have any of the actual SCAD for this, but I'm hoping you can generate the whole thing for me. Also, I'm thinking we'll probably need to use the `surface` function, so please include that library.

Okay, I'd like to get a parametric OpenSCAD design for a lampshade that looks like a rupee from the Legend of Zelda games. I've got some specific dimensions and features I'd like to be adjustable.

The basic shape is a faceted, gem-like form, kind of like a stretched hexagon with pointed tips. Here are some of the key parameters:

*   **Overall Length (rupee_length):** The length along the long axis of the rupee. Let's start with 190mm as a default.
*   **Edge Pitch (rupee_edge_pitch):** The angle of the edge facets relative to the horizontal plane. I'd like this to be 45 degrees initially.
*   **Tip Angle (rupee_tip_angle):** The angle of the pointy tips. Start with 100 degrees as a good value.
*   **Aspect Ratio (rupee_aspect_ratio):** The ratio of the width to the length. A good starting point is 0.6, making it wider than it is tall.
*   **Center Facet Ratio (rupee_center_facet_ratio):**  The proportion of the width occupied by the flat center facet. I think 0.5 would be good as a default, giving us a wider center than edge.

I also need to make it hollow for a lampshade:

*   **Bowl Wall Count (rupee_bowl_wall_count):** The number of wall layers, which will affect the thickness of the rupee shell. Let's start with 2.
*  **Bowl Floor Count (rupee_bowl_floor_count):** The number of layers making up the flat bottom of the rupee shape. The existing code mentions that even number of layers promote symmetry, so lets make the default 4 for this.

For attaching to a light socket, I want a cylindrical connector at the top, with these parameters:

*   **Shade Total Height (rupee_shade_total_height):**  The overall height of the lampshade, including both the rupee and the connector; 140mm to start with.
*   **Light Socket Connector Top Diameter (light_socket_connector_top_diameter):**  The outer diameter of the cylinder. 50mm should be a good default.
*   **Light Socket Connector Face Count (light_socket_connector_face_count):** The number of faces on the cylinder. I think 64 is fine.

I don't need to include the connector slits or magnet features from the given code so feel free to remove any code related to that.

I'd also like to ensure that the design takes into account 3D printing specifics, so lets add these values:
*   **Nozzle Diameter (nozzle_diameter):** The diameter of the printer nozzle, defaulting to 0.4mm.
*   **Layer Height (layer_height):** The layer height the slicer should use, defaulted to 0.2mm.

I think that should be everything. I'm looking for a parametric design where I can adjust these values, and the design should be manufacturable by a common 3D printer. The goal is to make a lampshade that looks like a rupee.

Okay, I need a mount designed for a Dropcam Pro, so I can stick it to a window at a specific angle. I have some parameters in mind, so I'm hoping to get a parametric design that I can easily adjust.

Here's what I'm thinking:

*   **Basic Shape:** The mount needs a cylindrical section to hold the Dropcam, and then a flat area that sticks to the window. The cylindrical part needs to have an inner space, so the Dropcam doesn't just sit on the material - there should be some "airspace."
*   **Dimensions:** I need to be able to specify:
    *   The diameter of the smaller shaft on the Dropcam.
    *   The depth of that shaft.
    *   The depth of the connector ring (how far the camera goes into the mount before it "clicks").
    *   The thickness of the walls for the cylindrical section of the mount.
    *   The amount of "airspace" around the Dropcam.
*   **Window Mount:** The flat area that sticks to the window will need to have:
    *   Space for double sided tape, with a configurable tape length and width.
    *   An angle relative to the cylindrical section, so the camera is angled towards the room (not straight out from the window).
*   **Warp Prevention:** I'd like to include some small "mouse ears" or tabs on the flat mounting surface to help prevent warping during printing, with configurable height and radius.
*   **Customization**: I need to be able to adjust the angle to the window and be able to adjust the double sided tape dimensions.

I think that covers the basics. I'd like the design to be fully parametric, so I can easily tweak all the dimensions and angles. Could you generate an OpenSCAD file for this? I'd also like it if you could use BOSL2 for some of the geometric operations to ensure a robust and well-constructed design. I'm not really sure how to structure the code, but if you're able to make the parameters easy to find and adjust that would be fantastic.
