Hi

Sorry for the nube question.

I am trying to create a tube with rounded rims top and bottom.

Can I extrude this in the Z axis to create the tube:

rotate_extrude(convexity = 10)
    translate([10, 0, 0])
        circle(d = 1); 

Can't figure it out but sure it must be simple

Thanks

This is one suggesion:

$fa=1;
$fs=0.2;
rotate_extrude(convexity = 10) translate([10, 0, 0]) hull() {
circle(d = 1);
translate([0,20]) circle(d = 1);
}

Thanks. Exactly what I was after. I will go and break it down and understand
it now
