Re: Fwd: Box lid "finger indentation" - rounded ellipsoidal indentation?
Jim, I was able to round the side face using a "negative" torus and just
eyeballing the scaling, etc.

I just find it more workable to model how the cutting will be done ---
unfortunately, that really bogs down performance-wise.

Subject: [OpenSCAD] Box lid "finger indentation" - rounded ellipsoidal
indentation?
I'm designing a jewelry box and want to "finger indentation" on the
lid/box seam, and I've got the following sketch of a cube with a subrarted
ellipsoid:
difference() {
color("green")
translate([0,0,3])
cube([20,30,6], center=true);
// Pocket ellipsoid
color("purple", 0.7)
translate([0,-15,0])
scale([2, 2, 0.9])
sphere(3, center=true, $fn=30);
} // if difference
Except this has sharp edges at the intersection across the front and
bottom faces. How could I round these off? (Without importing it into
Fusion which I don't know how to do - but I'm sure it would take about 5
seconds if I did).
I guessed that I might use minkowski with a small sphere - but that
doesn't seem to work, takes forever, and messes with the geometry outside
"just the pocket".
I thought of making two toruses along the front and bottom edges of the
pocket, but can't figure out what boolean operations to use too combine
them right. Careful placement of the tori, then union them will the whole
model, then one or more unions with the model?

I got sucked into trying to find a solution to this that doesn't
involve guesswork, and produces a smooth transition to the roundover.
This has some funny business at the bottom of the cutout where the two
masks intersect, but it renders OK. No guesswork. BOSL2 is only
really used for generating the curved edge with the smooth transition.

Here is my solution with less guesswork.
It still needs some fiddling, but hopefully it's clear why I added offsets.
$fn=40;
difference() {
color("green")
translate([0,0,3])
cube([20,30,6], center=true);
// Pocket ellipsoid
color("purple", 0.7)
translate([0,-15,0])
scale([2, 2, 0.9])
sphere(3);
difference(){
translate([0,-15,0-.01]) scale([2,2,1]) rotate_extrude()
translate([3-.1,0]) square(.5);
translate([0,-15,.5]) scale([2,2,1]) rotate_extrude()
translate([3+.5-.06,0]) circle(.5);
}
difference(){
translate([0,-15+.5-.01,0]) rotate([90,0,0]) scale([2,.9,1])
rotate_extrude() translate([3-.1,0]) square(.5);
translate([0,-15+.5,0]) rotate([90,0,0]) scale([2,.9,1])
rotate_extrude() translate([3+.5-.06,0]) circle(.5);
}
} // end difference

I guessed that I might use minkowski with a small sphere - but that
doesn't seem to work, takes forever, and messes with the geometry outside
"just the pocket".
I thought of making two toruses along the front and bottom edges of
the pocket, but can't figure out what boolean operations to use too combine
them right. Careful placement of the tori, then union them will the whole
model, then one or more unions with the model?

So the purpose of that code is to make the thumbnail cutout cross
section curve, but add a roundover to its end. The path_join function
will take two paths, join them end to and and apply a roundover at the
joined corner, so what I need is an appropriate quarter circle for the
cutout, and then a flat that will go along the top of the cube. The
r=3 is chosen to match the original radius in the post. Then I picked
angles to make the 90 degree arc, going from theta=-90 to theta=0.
That's the first path to be joined. The second one is just a
horizontal line of length 1.01, which I chose to be just slightly
longer than the "joint" distance for the rounding that connects the
two paths. That way there's not a lot of extra. I then tossed some
additional points to give some extra height to the shape to ensure no
problems with the difference operation. There may be better or
easier ways to make a suitable curve.

Adrian,

Very nice! How did you pick these values?

I got sucked into trying to find a solution to this that doesn't
involve guesswork, and produces a smooth transition to the roundover.
This has some funny business at the bottom of the cutout where the two
masks intersect, but it renders OK. No guesswork. BOSL2 is only
really used for generating the curved edge with the smooth transition.include <BOSL2/std.scad>

I've been looking at this sort of thing:https://willadams.gitbook.io/design-into-3d/radiused-fingerjoints
I just find it more workable to model how the cutting will be done --- unfortunately, that really bogs down performance-wise.

Subject: [OpenSCAD] Box lid "finger indentation" - rounded ellipsoidal indentation?I'm designing a jewelry box and want to "finger indentation" on the lid/box seam, and I've got the following sketch of a cube with a subrarted ellipsoid:
difference() {
color("green")
translate([0,0,3])
cube([20,30,6], center=true);// Pocket ellipsoid color("purple", 0.7) translate([0,-15,0]) scale([2, 2, 0.9]) sphere(3, center=true, $fn=30);} // if difference
Except this has sharp edges at the intersection across the front and bottom faces. How could I round these off? (Without importing it into Fusion which I don't know how to do - but I'm sure it would take about 5 seconds if I did).
I guessed that I might use minkowski with a small sphere - but that doesn't seem to work, takes forever, and messes with the geometry outside "just the pocket".
I thought of making two toruses along the front and bottom edges of the pocket, but can't figure out what boolean operations to use too combine them right. Careful placement of the tori, then union them will the whole model, then one or more unions with the model?
