Rodney, I'm not sure you noticed the overhang of the chamfer at the outer edge of the box. I reduced the side of the chamfer by .3 to make it fit a little better. It should have stopped the curve inside of the box. rotate_extrude() translate([pipeRadius,0,0]) difference() { square([roundedRad - .3, roundedRad - .3]);
It was nice the way the video included the mistake of using intersection() instead of difference(). Mistakes are realistic and make the journey more valuable.
i wish i did this programming first!!! but i spose i could have but i didnt think of it. coding structures is a cool idea but i didnt have them at first. (ideas)
Thank you, this was a big help! I wanted to add fillets without using a library. So that when someone downloads the file it works right out off the bat! I had issues where I was rotating the shape 90 degrees before rotate_extrude and the program didn't like that, wouldn't even generate. Once I figured that out it came together lol. Guess I miss understood how it worked, I thought you had to rotate the part onto x or y so that it could spin around the z axis but that's not the case. It seems to flip it for ya!

rotate_extrude()
translate([pipeRadius,0,0])
difference()
{
square([roundedRad - .3, roundedRad - .3]);
translate([roundedRad - .3, roundedRad - .3])
circle(r = roundedRad-.3);
}

that render looks beautiful too btw.

so... this is the easiest way to do that in scad! I thought there will be easier ways... like we do in solidworks/onshape etc...

When is part 2 coming. This one is great
please make more openscad! tutorials please!
Long winded for that job, but good to know the long way round. I would have just done it with a rotate extrude in a difference out of a cylinder
would you increase the video and sound quality?
