corner rounding
Dear all!
If I have something like that:
/linear_extrude(5)
polygon([[-60,0],[-75,130],[75,130],[60,0]]);
OR
trapezoid(h=130, w1=120, w2=150);/
what is the best way, when I want the 3D-object to have rounded edges ?
I tried most of BISL2 functions. But some I don´t understand and some
seem too complex.
Many thanks
Karl
Is this what you mean?

I wrote library dependencies.scad long ago and this can be done easily with
that. I am sure BOSL2 is much powerful
attached is the "dependencies.scad" file and also "trapezoid.scad" file.
put both the files in the same folder and try your luck if you are using
openscad version 2021 or greater.

In BOSL2 if the linear_extruded object is a polygon with a few sides like
your trapezoid example then you can use rounded_prism(). If your object
has many points close together---a curved shape of some sort---then you can
use offset_sweep(). Offset_sweep will always work, but rounded_prism may
be simpler to use. If you want the vertical edges rounded and you use
offset_sweep then you have to first use round_corners to round those edges
before offset_sweep---offset sweep only does the top and bottom edges.

For this style of rounding I have a module called pipe_polygon that
traces a polygon using connected cylinders and spheres. (Or maybe it
uses rotate_extruded arcs rather than spheres, for better matching
between the two.) Do that once for the top and once for the bottom, and
hull.
Note that you have to be careful about dimensions, if you want to
control the outside dimensions rather than the dimensions along the
centerlines of the rounded edges. An offset() function (which OpenSCAD
does not have natively) may be helpful.
thanks
