And I am far less than that, Sanjeev. Thank you very for your efforts to
show us what can be done by feeding OpenSCAD good data. It did look like
something I might be able to learn to use in OpenSCAD eventually if I
don't miss roll call, a possibility as my next b-day will be my 90th. As
for python, I still don't have a working understanding. Plus I'm
fighting with a pricey printer that keeps changing the Z_offsets (w/o
changing the displayed value) requiring I go thru the whole calibration
sequence at least weekly. I'm also in the middle of rebuilding 2 bigger
printers using the new to printers, stepper/servo technology. 2
advantages, layer shifts which are a loss of home for a stepper, are
gone forever. 2, motors run much cooler, enough you can see it in the
power bill so you don't burn your hands on them. I have a garage full of
CNC'd machines I've converted from manual metal carvers using Linuxcnc.

The difference between additive, as in a 3d printer, and subtractive (
to quote one wag I can't name, cutting away anything that does not
resemble an elephant comes to mind) is a barrier it takes some finagling
to cross.  The OpenSCAD polygon to print a buttress thread, I did
convert to gcode to carve that same thread in a 2" diameter hard maple
stick. Doing it not on a lathe, but a 4 axis gantry mill. So it can be
done.

Thank you very much.

Thanks for the flowers. Appreciated.

Earlier version of the vise screw mentioned attached. I've made several
improvements and made them longer since that pix. I can do 2 or 3 screws
a day on the mills, but the present printer limits me to about 2-3 weeks
a screw to print the rest of it.  Half nuts etc.  That's why I'm
rebuilding BIG printers.

Take care and stay well. You push us to do better, and that is good.

This looks interesting. It will be weeks before I can pick this back up
again, but I am curious if you have your example notebooks on GitHub or
elsewhere.
