In-Depth Information
You can see that there are mainly three parts in the OpenSCAD window. There is some
space for code on the left, a 3D view of the object on the right, and a window in the
bottom-right corner to print out information about the project.
For example, to make a simple cube of 5 x 5 x 5 mm, you can simply type:
cube([5,5,5]);
For the other functions such as the difference between two objects, you can look at the of-
ficial documentation of the software at the following URL:
For the board I took as an example, I designed a simple case to hold the board still and in-
cluded a hole for the external connections. It is basically made of the difference between
two cube entities. I added another cube to make the hole on the side, and two cylinders to
make the attaches for the board.
The following is one part of the case:
I also designed a cover to be able to close the case using the same principles. It is based
on the union of two cube objects, so it fits nicely in the main part of the case.
The following is the result in OpenSCAD:
