MB sha - sha Linux - AppImage Please try the automatically built snapshots first if you are running a supported distribution see below , the following AppImage builds are still experimental.

To use Gamepads or supported 3D Mouse devices like the SpaceMouse series from 3D Connexion the following command is needed to allow the snap package access to the joystick interface. The packages are automatically built based on the master branch on github. Note: The packages are called " openscad-nightly " so it's possible to install the development snapshot packages in parallel to the release version from the official repositories. NOTE: If you get errors about an expired key valid till , please re-import via the following command.

After the key is added, the repository URL needs to be configured. The repository links below are shown as https , please check for your installation if https is supported. For example, you could make a cube with a cylindrical hole through the center, or a cylinder with a series of half-sphere potholes in it. You can also group objects together with union or obtain the region where two or more objects intersect with intersection. Use the text command to include text in your designs for labels, nametags, or personalization.

The text command works particularly well with difference to get embossed or stencil effects, or with union to obtain a raised effect.

Going Further. When an OpenSCAD file is opened in the Customizer, global variable assignments are automatically turned into user modifiable fields. Comments that precede the variables are printed as remarks in the Customizer, and comments after the variables can create drop-down selectors or sliders with upper and lower bounds. You can also make parameter tabs, import images, and more. To create a Customizable design on Thingiverse, start as you normally would by selecting Upload a Thing!

In addition to the usual things you would do to create a Thing uploading STL files and Gallery images, creating title and description, etc , you have to do two additional things. Thingiverse users can still download your demo STL files for immediate 3D printing, or they can open your design in the Customizer to change parameters before downloading. One especially useful feature of the Developer Documentation is the Preview Example ; you can paste OpenSCAD code in the left panel, and preview how the Customizer will present that code on the right.

Intermediate and Advanced Commands OpenSCAD is easy to learn and can produce nice models with nothing but simple code, but it also has a lot of design power under the hood. Polygons and polyhedra: Create your own 2D shapes edge by edge with the polygon command, or construct 3D forms face by face with polyhedron.

In each of these commands, you define the vertices of your object and then list the paths or triangular faces that should connect those vertices.
