Cylinder shape woes

[makinglayerschannel]

This isn't necessarily for me, but these are two things that I see being requested more in my comments.
The first is a way to use the hole pattern on cylinder shapes. If there's a way, I'm missing it.

The second is screw on lids for cylinder shapes. Those would be really cool, so I thought I'd mention it.

No pressure, I just expect it to be done in less than 3 minutes and a new version released within the hour. Again, no pressure. Lol

There hasn't been a release for at least 10 minutes, so I suspect development of the app has finished :-) :-)

@makinglayerschannel thanks for passing these on.

The hole pattern on cylinders is in layerling 1.147.0: https://github.com/henmedia/layerling/releases/tag/v1.147.0
Select the body, open Hole pattern and click the round wall of a cylinder, a tube or a bore. The holes go all the way round in rows, each one pointing at the axis, with the same shapes, spacing and margin as on a flat face. Through the wall cuts only the wall you clicked, so the far side of a tube stays whole.

@marcus040473 could you have a look at the screw-on lid idea?

Three minutes was a bit tight, sorry. 😄

@MartinShake not finished, just catching my breath. 😉

@henmedia bro, you're amazing. I know you realize my "demand" was making light of how quickly you push out new features, but WOW.

i`m working on it

@henmedia thanks for the hole pattern round the wall of a cylinder, that came out great!

@makinglayerschannel the screw lid from this discussion is now in my test version: https://marcus040473.github.io/?editor=1

How to use it:

1. Hollow a cylinder (or a tube, or a round pot) with the top open and select it.
2. Click Lid and pick Screw on.
3. Leave Thread pitch at 3 mm and Turns at 2, or change them. Fit is the room in the thread; take Loose if your cap turns stiffly.
4. Click Make lid. The pot gets a thread on the outside of its top, and the cap with the matching thread lies beside it, turned over.

Both print without supports: the pot upright, the cap on its flat top. The cap screws on clockwise, like a jar's. A box or an oval is refused with a short message, because a screw lid needs a round body.

I will send a pull request to Stefan next. Let me know how it prints for you!

I'm printing it now. It'll take a bit. I'm starting to hate Layerling. My videos are going to just be "want to build a car, click these two buttons and it's complete". Y'all are taking all of the work out of CAD :).

[henmedia]

@makinglayerschannel don't worry, there's no car button 😄 The screw lid from @marcus040473 is now merged into layerling and comes with the next release. I'm curious how your print turns out, especially how easily the cap turns on the thread.

[makinglayerschannel]

ABSOLUTELY beautiful.

[henmedia]

@makinglayerschannel great to hear! That one is all @marcus040473's work.

@makinglayerschannel the screw lid is out in layerling 1.148.0.
