Excellent! Just what I had in mind putting out the Github repo.
Thanks, reminds me to add those files to the Makefile. Now I'm using
scadmake, a OpenSCAD-specific make program I wrote, and it computes the
dependencies at every invocation, so I lose track of the old Makefile.
If you want to try that, you can get here:
https://github.com/butcherg/SCADMake
Just source-code compile right now; if you're using the DRG_168
Makefile, building scadmake will be trivial.
+1 on manifold. I couldn't use my anemic tablet to do OpenSCAD work if
I didn't have a version with manifold. Hope they make a release with it
soon...

I got him an Ender-3 at the age of 81 and he immediately took to OpenSCAD.
Version 2021.01 on my Linux box took 2h 15m to build this. I had to
add rules for pilot_truck.stl and wheel_set.stl to stl/Makefile, then
was able to open stl_integration.scad in the GUI.
Version 2023.10.31 on my Linux box with --enable=manifold took 37.4
seconds to build the same thing. Now if 215x speedup isn't a game
changer, I don't know what is. --enable=lazy-union did not speed it up
further.
Cheers,
