On this basis it’s difficult to beat Tinkercad, frankly.

Oh I'm a FreeCAD person anyway. OpenSCAD was a useful stepping stone for me, from programming to 3D. But I've been doing my own designs in FreeCAD for two and a half years or so. I just think the typical groundswell of HN support

Is there really this new trend as I am reading -- some new QAnon fantasy projection of the misunderstandings around the retraction of A Clockwork Orange onto Eyes Wide Shut to further some twist on the Pizzagate conspiracy?

In this case the poster is not actually going that far off the reservation. A parametric CAD package starts off with some variables, makes 2D representations of them that can be solved by a constraint solver, extends those 2D representation

You can get CAD Sketcher for Blender which might help. But Blender is a mesh manipulation environment. Ideal for designing 3D models to go in virtual environments. Not awful for 3D models that are only going to a 3D printer, but fundamental

Is it? IMO sticking with OpenSCAD is fundamentally limiting your progress with modelling for 3D printing. It's not CAD. Simple parts, yes. Geometry and trigonometry demos? Yes. Actual computer-aided design... no not really.

VarSet has an incomplete GUI but you're right it's a better fit; it has fewer massive recalculation bombs than the Spreadsheet approach (and it can still AFAIK work as an interface to a configuration table sheet). The Spreadsheet

I like OpenSCAD for what it is good for: limited, geometrically simple parts and geometry demos. I think CadQuery/Build123D are fine tools with much better abstractions than OpenSCAD. The latter is not, IMO, really a CAD tool at all; a

It really does not. It has a noticeable style and affect/manner.

No amount of repeating is ever, unfortunately, going to get this across; LLMs are founding a new kind of alchemy.

Headlines written in poetic style have existed for about 400 years before clickbait was a problem. Complaining about clickbait is one thing; ridding the world of poetic, intriguing headline and subhead writing is just going to make us miser

The answer to the question about VC funding is weirdly obvious at any sort of distance away from the emotive things. Communities should probably cautiously welcome VC funding for well-integrated community members solving hard, core problems

The signifier is to sound and write like Sam Altman, I think. It's perfectly possible to write in a style that doesn't sound like ChatGPT, which has the tone of a collection of college admissions essays written by perky, shallow p

That ship has sailed. Along with the good ship capital letters at the beginning of sentences. It's a GenAI subculture signifier. Utterly tiresome; HN and the tech web is riddled with it.

There are, and they still need people to provide voice samples. So don't play games like this.
