UB.scad

This library (right click save as) is a full 3Dprinting workflow solution for openSCAD v.21 and above. There are a lot of settings available but most is using pre configuration - so you can start with the template but also just with include<ub.scad>. Some Examples

• giving you
  • parameter
  • functions
  • tools to modify objects
  • to generate 3D objects
  • helper for viewing
  • 2D polygones
  • basic objects
  • and products

🌐But why would you need it? Best to judge from what you can accomplish - i build this lib to make these Prints

🔥 the console (text output) give you some feedback from the lib and modules.
The idea is that you can use this without ever looking at the libraries code (modules) itself.

use helpsw=true; (1-5 or true for all) to get a list of available modules
On the top you see some variables like nozzle or clearance aswell fragments (which will change automatically when rendering like some other variables).

Also every module Example() has an internal help, use: Example(help=true);
Additional there are informations displayed on the console window. When giving a name to module Example(name="Test"); they are emphasized. For a little suprise put in your name.

and switches to show the status

Parameter

List

name="myProject"; shows a name

nozzle=.4; defines the nozzle and walls or perimeters

layer=.2; defines the layer hight

vp=false; if you want a fixed viewport

anima=false; use in animations - for viewing animation the animation view in oscad need to be active)

• tset allows to simulate a value when anima=false and then replaces $t in following variables
• t is $t
• t0 rotation 360 deg
• t1 -1 ⇔ 1 ( 0↦1↦0↦-1↦0 )
• t2 0 ⇔ 1 ( 0↦1↦0 )
• t3(wert,grad=360,delta) allow phase shift in wert × sin($t × grad + delta)

bed=true; showing a print bed and center at printPos

printBed=[220,220]; set your print bed size

hires=false; switches higher resolution on (render only)

show=0; show objects like a nozzle width cylinder

spiel=.2; define clearance / padding

$info=false disable info text for all active nameless modules

$helpM=true show all active modules help

helpsw=1 show the help (1-5)

useVersion=21.325 will help to mark which version was used for your design and can improve compatibility
