Designing with OpenSCAD book

Hi all,

I've been thinking about writing an OpenSCAD book for a long time now. I
finally bit the bullet a week or two ago. In the spirit of getting things
out early, I finished a couple short chapters to show. Here's a link to the
sample chapters I've completed already for building (part of) a model rocket
launcher.

Let me know what you think about whether it'd be useful for you, and
something that you'd like to read. What techniques would you like to learn,
and what you'd like to know about OpenSCAD.

If you're interested in the book, put your name and email address down here:

Thanks!

Yay!
Please keep feeding examples to this list.
Also keep in mind that we’re almost done with the next release, so don’t be afraid to use the new features.

Btw., I see that your screenshots have that annoying black highlight bug. I believe we fixed back in August. Have you tried the development snapshots?

Cheers,

I just downloaded the new development build, and it looks like it's fixed!
Thanks!

I'll redo the screenshots with the new version. Are there other topics you'd
like to see covered?

Now that we have concat(), list comprehensions as well as better recursion handling, it opens the door for a whole new class of objects.
See here for some ideas that have been explored: https://github.com/openscad/list-comprehension-demos

Then there is text() and offset().

See also here for preliminary release notes: https://github.com/openscad/openscad/blob/master/releases/2014.QX.md
