bug, or operator error
last week I drew up a mounting plate for one of big tree techs bigger
3d printer controllers.
This needed 2 rows of 3 bolt holes along 2 of the 4 edges using the
usual for statement.
for(i=[0,1,3]) {make hole}; should have done it, but the spacing was
incorrect. Like a step number was being skipped. I fooled around and
finally got 3 even spaced holes, but the numbers I had to use didn't
make sense to me. Me, a nilmerg or an honest bug? last weeks weekly build.
Thanks all.
Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.

[1,2,3] is a list so those are the values that i will take. Use colons for
ranges, e.g. [start: step: end]

So, for something like this, I use code similar to:
Hole_Initial_Offset_X = 5;
Hole_Separation = 3;
for (i=[0:1:3]) {
translate( [ Hole_Initial_Offset_X + i*Hole_Separation , 0, 0 ] )
Drill_Hole();
}

which is what I wanted it to do but the spacing was wrong. To get 3
holes I had to use a 5 stopper.
now this won't render: even when copied out to a new file:
module powerinput() { bh=27.2; // cutout for assembly cw=47.4;
// ditto outl=67; // overall length outh=38; // incl 6mm base
bl=100;// len of base bd=6; // thickness of base bw=20; //
width of base co=55.5/2; // offset left or right of mounting ear
difference() { union() {
cube([outl,bw,outh],center=true);
translate([0,-0.3,22])cube([bl,bw,bd],center=true); }
cube([cw,24,bh],center=true); // cut hole for it
translate([co,0,0])rotate([90,0,0])cylinder(h=25,d=4.1,center=true);
translate([-co,0,0])rotate([90,0,0])cylinder(h=25,d=4.1,center=true);
#tanslate([-40,0,22])cylinder(h=11,d=4.3,center=true);
#translate([40,0,22])cylinder(h=11,d=4.3,center=true); } }
powerinput();
its a small housing for a printers AC input assembly, worked last night,
I printed it. now it won't render but reports no errors. about says: and
i just found it, missing r in tanslate, no error highlighted, shoulda
been. And I'm going blind. The editor does funkity stuff when the src is
1500+ lines and the font is huge so I can still read it. Sorry for the
noise.
Happy, better, New Year to all.

I give up, t-bird in its infinite wisdom thru away the tabs and newlines.
