            <title>aeropic added ANET_A8 inductive probe mount to the OpenSCAD Group</title>

            <description><![CDATA[<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2426747"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/renders/2d/f0/0c/b4/2d/ee2b289945220e7745d1d68baf67f194_preview_large.jpg" alt="" class="render"  /></a> <p>I printed the clever design of Sulanix (thanks for this) but I found it a bit flimsy and there were at least 5 mm to win in the design to set the probe closer to the fan in X direction.</p>
<p>Here is an openscad fully parametric remix!</p>
<p>Please modify this line if you want a smaller probe:</p>
<p>probe_diam = 18.5;</p>
<p>I join in the files section my configuration.h for the skynet V2.3.2 firmware.<br>
I found it a bit nervous in terms of acceleration an jerk...</p>
<p>As you may see on the second pictures, the autolevel does pretty good job ;-)</p>]]></description>

            <title>aeropic added ANET_A8 exoskeleton to the OpenSCAD Group</title>
            <link>https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2430113</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2430113"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/renders/f0/3d/b7/43/ab/afaa069aa5fae92a2c06cdb1d5f78d8b_preview_large.jpg" alt="" class="render"  /></a> <p>It's an understatement to say that Anet A8's acrylic frame is weak...<br>
Here is a carbon &quot;exoskeleton&quot; to add an incredible stiffness to your printer and thus reduce z-wooble caused by X axis shaking the frame.</p>
<p>I am an adept of KISS concept (Keep It Smart and Simple), you will need only one hour of printing to finish the exoskeleton which means very very few filament.</p>
<p>The stiffness is brought by 2 pieces of 6mm carbon rods or carbon tubes (go and search on ebay or in your local kite shop, you'll get them for less than $10).</p>
<p>I join a not so good video explaining how to assemble it (sorry for the out of focus parts) <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youtu.be/Jiec6JPh0PI">https://youtu.be/Jiec6JPh0PI</a></p>
<p>I plan to make it even stiffer just by adding a jonction piece where the rod crosses the vertical plate (ther is a hole not far from there...)</p>
<p>I hope you like, any comment welcome ;-)</p>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Found a model someone else created that I can use and figured out how to alter it so the text will go all the way through if needed. It uses the write module though, which doesn't appear to work in in OpenSCAD though, but works fine in the customizer.

Anyone know how to change this OpenSCAD file where it doesn't require the write module any more? I understand this is not necessary anymore.

This is the one I remixed.

            <description><![CDATA[Thanks for the response!

1. I think I understand what your saying. Is there a better way to go about rounding the corners so I can achieve custom width still?
2. I will look into using an If statement change 1 line vs 2 line.

I also noticed that the tag itself doesn't appear to be centered in OpenSCAD causing it to be off-centered. Maybe this is just me as I thought everything was set right.]]></description>

2. Choosing between 1 or 2 lines could be done with just an if. 
if (Name2 == "") {

else {

            <description><![CDATA[Hello, I just created my first model in OpenSCAD that I cobbled together from researching OpenSCAD on the internet. There are a few things I would like to be different in my customizable model that I just can't seem to figure out.

1. When changing the radius of a corner it changes the whole width of the object.
2. I would like to be bale to choose between 1 or 2 (maybe more) lines of text and have it automatically center the vertically.

Any help would be appreciate.

Justin

<p>Obs: The file BenchModel.stl is not meant to be printed, but just to give an idea of the whole object after all part attached. However, if you have a big printer, be my guest, go on and print it.</p>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Since you are new to 3D printing, you would probably benefit from reading up on the _how_ of designing for successful 3D prints.  Not everything one would like to make is suitable for 3D printing, and ignoring the limitations of the materials and technologies involved (filament vs powder vs resin printer technologies, for example) may lead to disappointment.

Here are a couple of good articles to read up on:

https://www.3dhubs.com/knowledge-base/how-design-parts-fdm-3d-printing

Expect some minor changes in the near future.</p>
<p>Customisable box with a cover, which snaps on quite tight. I wanted this to store some USB &amp; phone adaptors in my car, but it may be useful for 100s of other things, so I publish this.</p>
<p>Edit: Made a version 1.1 - wifey had trouble opening the box, so I added an optional gap for putting a coin in. Turn it, and the box opens. I assume her finger nails are softer than mine ;-)<br>
I also added an optional wall, so you can separate things inside. Sizes of opening helper and separating wall had to be adjusted a bit, will print the new version tonight. Removed some minor issues.</p>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[What do we do if we want to have a Customizer on Thingiverse but the scad file needs to use some libraries? If we upload the libraries along with the main scad file, will the Customizer figure it out? 

I've been using a little python script (https://github.com/arpruss/miscellaneous-scad/blob/master/scripts/resolve-include.py) that includes the library code and the main scad file into one file, but it's a bit of a nuisance to have to do that.]]></description>

For instance:<br>
1in<br>
3cm<br>
1 1/2in<br>
... etc</p>
<p>Well, now you can!</p>]]></description>

            <title>arpruss added Twisty vases via customizable polar graphs to the OpenSCAD Group</title>

In the Customizer, you specify polar graph formulas for the bottom and top, as well as a formula for varying the diameter, and a twist angle, as well as the wall thickness and the bottom thickness. </p>
<p>The design may not work if your graphs have sharp cusps.</p>
<p>The OpenSCAD file uses (and bundles) my <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2406760">tube mesh</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2295309">function parser</a> libraries.</p>
<p><strong>Updates:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>July 6-8, 2017: fix bug that cut off vases with too much flare; add slow-walls option</li>
</ul>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2418636"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/renders/b5/bc/8a/01/ef/136760f25a9e33ab132e95ae62cb1c15_preview_large.JPG" alt="" class="render"  /></a> <p>This is part of a set of customizable Lego compatible robotics components. This post is for parametric Lego compatible TREADS.<br>
(Necessary wheels are a separate Thingi here: <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2417830">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2417830</a>) (Thingy's are separate because each is its own customizer.)</p>
<p>Files Included:<br>
*An openscad file for generating any length of tread with any tread pattern you want. </p>
<p>When customizing wheels and treads, to make a perfect fit they must have the same number of teeth. If you want to make a tank tread, use the attached excel calculator to determine the appropriate number of tread teeth. (That or trial and error!)</p>
<p>The wheels should be printed in a hard material like ABS. The treads must be at least semi flexible. The TPU linked below works but is a bit slick for mini-sumo and is tight for stretching. The TPE filament makes ideal high flex high stretch treads.  </p>

This post is for various Lego compatible 9g servo mounts. This fits either the popular SG90 or the FS90R (continuous) servos. </p>
<p>Files Included:<br>
<em>6 differently oriented servo mounts.<br>
</em>An openscad file for customizing the gripper/flag. (The flag is intended to be an accessory for a mini-sumo robot.)<br>
<em>An openscad file for standard Lego bricks along with a printing calibration brick.<br>
</em>(The compatible wheels shown are a separate Thingy.)</p>
<p>I recommend printing brick parts in ABS, but the grippers in semi-flexible TPU.  Printing Legos is tricky, see the print settings section for tips.</p>
