Thanks! At the last translation, there was a plus instead of the minus.
I do not have a clue how I could use hull inbetween the segments.. I tried
using hull and it makes no difference in this example.
I don't see the "plus" in your code you mean the sequence {300, 299, 298,
...} ?
Not your example, but I think that is what you are more or less heading at:
elliptic_ring();
module elliptic_ring(r1 = 10, r2 = 5, r = 2, slices = 100, h = 0, w = 360)
{
$fn=30;
dz = h/slices;
dwx = atan(h/(r1+r2)/PI);
for (i = [0:slices-1])
hull()
{
translate([r1*cos((i+1)w/slices), r2sin((i+1)*w/slices), (i+1)*dz])
rotate([90+dwx, 0, (i+1)*w/slices])
cylinder(r = r, h = .01);
translate([r1*cos((i)*w/slices), r2*sin((i)*w/slices), i*dz])
rotate([90+dwx, 0, i*w/slices])
cylinder(r = r, h = .01);
}
}
