NopSCADlib
An ever expanding library of parts modelled in OpenSCAD useful for 3D printers and enclosures for electronics, etc.
It contains lots of vitamins (the RepRap term for non-printed parts), some general purpose printed parts and some utilities. There are also Python scripts to generate Bills of Materials (BOMs), STL files for all the printed parts, DXF files for CNC routed parts in a project and a manual containing assembly instructions and exploded views by scraping markdown embedded in OpenSCAD comments, see scripts.
A simple example project can be found here.
For more examples of what it can make see the gallery.
The license is GNU General Public License v3.0, see COPYING.
See usage for requirements, installation instructions and a usage guide.
A list of changes classified as breaking, additions or fixes is maintained in CHANGELOG.md.

Ball_bearings
Simple model of ball bearings with seals, the colour of which can be specified. If silver they are assumed to be metal and the part number gets a ZZ suffix. Any other colour is assumed to be rubber and the suffix is -2RS.
If a ball bearing has a child it is placed on its top surface, the same as nuts and washers, etc.
Also single bearing balls are modelled as just a silver sphere and a BOM entry.

Belts
Models timing belt running over toothed or smooth pulleys and calculates an accurate length. Only models 2D paths, so not crossed belt core XY!
To make the back of the belt run against a smooth pulley on the outside of the loop specify a negative pitch radius.
By default the path is a closed loop but a gap length and position can be specified to make open loops.
To draw the gap its XY position is specified by gap_pos. gap_pos.z can be used to specify a rotation if the gap is not at the bottom of the loop.
Individual teeth are not drawn, instead they are represented by a lighter colour.

Sheets
Sheet materials. Rectangular with optional rounded corners. Negative radii make a chamfer.
The "Soft" parameter can be used to determinesif the sheet material needs machine screws or wood screws, e.g.:
- If soft, wood screws will be used, with a pilot hole.
- If not soft, either tapped holes or a clearance hole and nuts will be used to retain screws.
The "Colour" parameter is a quad-array: [R, G, B, Alpha], or can be a named colour, see OpenSCAD_User_Manual.
For speed sheets should be modelled in 2D by subtracting holes from 2D templates made by sheet_2D() and then extruded to 3D with render_2D_sheet().
Note that modules that drill holes will return a 2D object if h is set to 0 to facilitate this.
If 3D features are needed, for example countersinks, then sheets can be modelled in 3D using sheet() and then coloured with render_sheet().
When woven sheets (e.g. carbon fibre) are rendered it is necessary to specify the dimensions again to render_sheet() or render_2D_sheet().

Box
A box made from routed or laser cut sheet sheets and printed profiles and bezels. It can be arbitrarily large
compared to the 3D printed parts because they can be cut into interlocking sections and solvent welded
together. The box panels can be customised to have holes and parts mounted on them by overriding the
definitions of box_base(), box_front(), etc.
box.scad should be used and box_assembly.scad included.
A box is defined with a list that specifies the inside dimensions, top, bottom and side sheet materials, the
screw type and printed part wall thickness. This diagram shows how the various dimensions are labelled:
Normally the side sheets are the same type but they can be overridden individually as long as the substitute has the same thickness.

Butt_box
A box made from CNC cut panels butted together using printed fixing blocks. Useful for making large boxes with minimal 3D printing. More blocks are added as the box gets bigger.
Needs to be included rather than used to allow the panel definitions to be overridden to add holes
and mounted components.
A list specifies the internal dimensions, screw type, top, bottom and side sheet types and the block maximum spacing.
- An optional name can be specified to allow more then one box in a project.
- An optional list of fixing blocks to be omitted can be given.
- Star washers can be omitted by setting the 11th parameter to false.
Uses fixing blocks and corner blocks.

Corner_block
Corner brackets using threaded inserts for fastening three sheets together at right angles. Defaults to M3 but other screws sizes can be specified provided they have inserts defined.
See butt_box for an example of usage.
Note that the block with its inserts is defined as a sub assembly, but its fasteners get added to the parent assembly.
Specific fasteners can be omitted by setting a side's thickness to 0 and the block omitted by setting show_block to false.
This allows the block and one set of fasteners to be on one assembly and the other fasteners on the mating assemblies.
Star washers can be omitted by setting star_washers to false.

Drag_chain
Parametric cable drag chain to limit the bend radius of a cable run.
Each link has a maximum bend angle of 45°, so the mininium radius is proportional to the link length.
The travel property is how far it can move in each direction, i.e. half the maximum travel if the chain is mounted in the middle of the travel.
The ends can have screw lugs with four screw positions to choose from, specified by a list of two arrays of four bools.
If none are enabled then a child object is expected to customise the end and this gets unioned with the blank end.
If both ends are customised then two children are expected.
Each child is called twice, once with $fasteners set to 0 to augment the STL and again with $fasteners set to 1 to add
to the assembly, for example to add inserts.

Fixing_block
Fixing block to mount two sheets at right angles using threaded inserts. Defaults to M3 but other screw sizes can be specified provided they have inserts defined.
See butt_box for an example of usage.
Note that the block with its inserts is defined as a sub assembly, but its fasteners get added to the parent assembly.
Specific fasteners can be omitted by setting a side's thickness to 0 and the block omitted by setting show_block to false.
This allows the block and one set of fasteners to be on one assembly and the other fasteners on the mating assemblies.
Star washers can be omitted by setting star_washers to false.

Flat_hinge
A parametric flat hinge. A piece of filament can be used for the hinge pin.
The width, depth, thickness, number and type of screws, number of knuckles, knuckle diameter, pin diameter and clearance can all be varied. A margin between the screws and the knuckle edge can be enforced to allow the hinge to bend all the way back to 270° from closed.
Opening the test in OpenSCAD with its customiser enabled allows these parameters to be played with.
Note setting thickness1 or thickness2 to zero in the hinge_fastened_assembly() removes the screws from one side or the other and
setting show_hinge to false removes the hinge.
This allows the hinges and one set of screws to belong to one assembly and the other set of screws to another assembly.

Gears
Utilities for making involute gears.
Formulas from https://khkgears.net/new/gear_knowledge/gear_technical_reference/involute_gear_profile.html https://khkgears.net/new/gear_knowledge/gear_technical_reference/calculation_gear_dimensions.html and https://www.tec-science.com/mechanical-power-transmission/involute-gear/calculation-of-involute-gears/
involute_gear_profile() returns a polygon that can have the bore and spokes, etc, subtracted from it before linear extruding it to 3D.
Helical gears can be made using twist and bevel gears using scale parameters of linear_extrude().
Gears with less than 19 teeth (when pressure angle is 20) are profile shifted to avoid undercutting the tooth root. 7 teeth is considered the practical minimum.
The clearance between tip and root defaults to module / 6, but can be overridden by setting the clearance parameter.
The origin of the rack is the left end of the pitch line and its width is below the pitch line. I.e. it does not include the addendum.
involute_worm_profile() returns a tooth profile that can be passed to thread() to make worms.

Sweep
Utility to generate a polhedron by sweeping a 2D profile along a 3D path and utilities for generating paths.
The initial orientation is the Y axis of the profile points towards the initial center of curvature, Frenet-Serret style. Subsequent rotations use the minimum rotation method.
The path can be open or closed. If closed sweep ensures that the start and end have the same rotation to line up. An additional twist around the path can be specified. If the path is closed this should be a multiple of 360.

Thread
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.

BOM
Bill Of Materials generation via echo and the bom.py script. Also handles exploded assembly views and posing.
Assembly instructions can precede the module definition that makes the assembly.
Assembly views shown in the instructions can be large or small and this is deduced by looking at the size of the printed parts involved and if any routed
parts are used.
This heuristic isn't always correct, so the default can be overridden by setting the big parameter of assembly to true or false.
Setting the ngb parameter of assembly to true removes its column from the global BOM and merges it parts into its parent assembly column of the global BOM.
This is to prevent the global BOM page becoming too wide in large projects by having it include just the major assemblies.
The example below shows how to define a vitamin and incorporate it into an assembly with sub-assemblies and make an exploded view. The resulting flat BOM is shown but heirachical BOMs are also generated for real projects.
If the code to make an STL or DXF is made a child of the stl() or dxf() module then the STL or DXF will be used in the assembly views generated by views.py instead of generating
it with code.
This can speed up the generation of the build instructions greatly but isn't compatible with STLs that include support structures.
The pose() module allows assembly views in the readme to be posed differently to the default view in the GUI:
- Setting the
explodedparameter totrueallows just the exploded version to be posed and setting tofalseallows just the assembled view to be posed, the default is both. - If the
dparameter is set to specify the camera distance then the normalviewallandautocenteroptions are suppressed allowing a small section to be zoomed in to fill the view. - To get the parameter values make the GUI window square, pose the view with the mouse and then copy the viewport parameters from the Edit menu and paste them into the pose invocation.
- Two
pose()modules can be chained to allow different poses for exploded and assembled views.

Polyholes
A method of making 3D printed holes come out the right size regardless of the printer, providing it gets the linear dimensions right. See https://hydraraptor.blogspot.com/2011/02/polyholes.html
The module provides poly_circle(), poly_cylinder() and poly_ring() that is useful for making printed washers and pillars.
poly_cylinder() has a twist parameter which can be set to make the polygon rotate each layer.
This can be used to mitigate the number of sides being small and make small holes stronger and more round, but is quite slow due to the
large increase in the number of facets.
When set to 1 the polygons alternate each layer, when set higher the rotation takes twist + 1 layers to repeat.
A small additional rotation is added to make the polygon rotate one more side over the length of the hole to make it appear round when
veiwed end on.
When twist is set the resulting cylinder is extended by eps at each end so that the exact length of the hole can be used without
leaving a scar on either surface.
