OpenSCAD Aesthetic Cube

This repository includes an OpenSCAD module for drawing a cube which comprises of individual cubes representing its faces, edges and corners.

The cude has an inset argument which determines several values in one number: the depth of all the face cubes, the size of all the square faces of edge ends and the size of all the cubes making the cube corners.

By default, aesthetic_cube renders all faces, edges and corners making it appear as a normal cube:

The signature of the module has four required parameters: width, depth, height and inset.

The individual sub-cubes are controlled via optional parameters which all default to true and are self-explanatory:

• leftFace
• rightFace
• topFace
• bottomFace
• backFace
• frontFace
• leftTopEdge
• rightTopEdge
• leftBottomEdge
• rightBottomEdge
• leftBackEdge
• rightBackEdge
• leftFrontEdge
• rightFrontEdge
• topBackEdge
• topFrontEdge
• bottomBackEdge
• bottomFrontEdge
• leftTopBackCorner
• leftTopFrontCorner
• rightTopBackCorner
• rightTopFrontCorner
• leftBottomBackCorner
• leftBottomFrontCorner
• rightBottomBackCorner
• rightBottomFrontCorner

A cube with only faces but no edges or corners would look like this:
