scad-box

Package scad-box provides an OpenSCAD module for creating boxes, including boxes with rounded corners.

It does this by exposing a box() module.

The box() is designed to feel similar to the built-in cube() module.

For example:

box();

box(2);

box([1,2,3]);

box(size=5, center=true);

Declaration

module box(size = [1,1,1], center = false, edge_radius = 0.1)

Examples

Here are some examples of box() being used.

Creates a box with rounded corners, with the width, height, and depth all equal to 1, with an edge-radius of 0.1.

box();

Creates a box with rounded corners, with the width, height, and depth all equal to 5, with an edge-radius of 0.1.

box(5);

Creates a box with rounded corners, with the width, height, and depth equal to 1, 2, and 3 respectively, with an edge-radius of 0.1.

box([1,2,3]);

Creates a box with rounded corners, with the width, height, and depth all equal to 1, with an edge-radius of 0.1, centered on the origin.

box(center=true);

Creates a box with rounded corners, with the width, height, and depth all equal to 1, with a edge-radius of 0.2.

box(edge_radius=0.2);

Demo

A demo is included with this package, in the demos/demo.scad file.

To view the demo, open demos/demo.scad in OpenSCAD.

Usage

To use this package, first checkout this repository into the root of your project, using code similar to:

git clone https://github.com/reiver/scad-box github.com/reiver/scad-box

This will create the directories:

• github.com/
• github.com/reiver
• github.com/reiver/scad-box

And place the OpenSCAD code for this package into that directory.

And then to make use of this code in one of your projects files, add a use statement similar to:

use <github.com/reiver/scad-box/use.scad>

Note, if you are in a sub-directory of your project, you may need to climb up directories; for example:

use <../github.com/reiver/scad-box/use.scad>

Or:

use <../../github.com/reiver/scad-box/use.scad>

Etc.
