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.
Table of Contents
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.

Note that the Lumintop LM34 has a built in charger with a USB socket and two LEDs.
The battery length includes its contacts and the origin is the centre of that length. As well as drawing the battery and contacts there are functions exposing enough information to make a battery box.

Belts
Models timing belt running over toothed or smooth pulleys and calculates an accurate length. Only models 2D paths, so not 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.
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 "Color" parameter is a quad-array: [R, G, B, Alpha], or can be a named color, 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.

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.

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.

3D offset using minkowski with a sphere, so very slow if $fn is not kept small. The offset can be positive or negative.
Can be used to round corners. Positive offsets will round convex corners, negative offsets round concave corners. To round both use round_3D().

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. This means the first three points must not be colinear. 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.
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 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.
