#OpenSCAD question:

if in wanted to emboss text around the outer rounded edge of a cylinder, how would I go about doing that? I don't know how to transform an object on a curve like that.

Could you use path_text() from #BOSL2? github.com/BelfrySCAD/BOSL2/wi….

Something that would solve this problem would be if the language supported a transform that would take a function as an input (either a name or some kind of lambda) that would take a set of coordinates as an input and return a modified set of coordinates. It would then apply this transformation to each vertex of its children.

So, I've been getting reasonably decent with #OpenSCAD. I've debated opening an Etsy store, but I don't own a #3DPrinter. While I do have access to a couple for personal projects, I have nothing that would be suitable for commercial use, nor do I have the seed money to buy one.

One of the services I'm thinking of offering in the interim is creating custom STL files for people based on a rough sketch or photo, but I don't know if that would be a viable thing.

Is that a thing anyone here would have interest in?

I wonder if that's something worth discussing with the kwarztLab folks on their Tuesday drop in night? Afaik most have 3D printers, and I expect a few might have done the same?

I wish #OpenSCAD let you pass one module as an input to another.

unsolicited advice, I guess?

@patagona Ooh. I'll have to look into that. Thanks for the tip!

When you have a vernier caliper, #OpenSCAD, and access to a #3DPrinter, a lot of things suddenly become possible.
