//! Utilities for making threads with sweep. They can be used to model screws, nuts, studding, leadscrews, etc, and also to make printed threads.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! The ends can be tapered, flat or chamfered by setting the ```top``` and ```bot``` parameters to -1 for tapered, 0 for a flat cut and positive to
|
|
//! specify a chamfer angle.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Threads are by default solid, so the male version is wrapped around a cylinder and the female inside a tube. This can be suppressed to just get the helix, for
|
|
//! example to make a printed pot with a screw top lid.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! A left hand thread can be made by using mirror([0,1]).
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Threads with a typical 60 degree angle appear too bright with OpenSCAD's primitive lighting model as they face towards the lights more than the top and sides of
|
|
//! a cylinder. To get around this a colour can be passed to thread that is used to colour the cylinder and then toned down to colour the helix.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Making the ends requires a CGAL intersection, which make threads relatively slow. For this reason they are generally disabled when using the GUI but can
|
|
//! be enabled by setting ```$show_threads``` to ```true```. When the tests are run, by default, threads are enabled only for things that feature them like screws.
|
|
//! This behaviour can be changed by setting a ```NOPSCADLIB_SHOW_THREADS``` environment variable to ```false``` to disable all threads and ```true``` to enable all threads.
|
|
//! The same variable also affects the generation of assembly diagrams.
|
|
//!
|
|
//! Threads obey the $fn, $fa, $fs variables.
