Not sure I'm even using the correct term here, but I would like to have fillets (?  rounded edges on the facing edge)  on this BL Touch mount.  I remember something in the intro about that but not much.  How would one do such a thing for added strength at the joint(s)? difference() {     union() {         translate([0,18,0])             cube([37,16.67,4]);         translate([22,18,0])             cube([6,16.67,30]);         translate([28,0,0])             cube([9,19,4]);     }     translate([13,22,-.001])         cylinder(h=6,d=3);     translate([31,4,-.001])         cylinder(h=6,d=3); }

I realized as I was starting to write a solution that I don't know which edge(s) you want rounded. I made this, but not sure it's what you want: <http://forum.openscad.org/file/t2477/thing.png> skypuppy wrote > Not sure I'm even using the correct term here, but I would like to have > fillets (?  rounded edges on the facing edge)  on this BL Touch mount.  > I remember something in the intro about that but not much.  How would > one do such a thing for added strength at the joint(s)? > > difference() { >     union() { >         translate([0,18,0]) >             cube([37,16.67,4]); >         translate([22,18,0]) >             cube([6,16.67,30]); >         translate([28,0,0]) >             cube([9,19,4]); >     } >     translate([13,22,-.001]) >         cylinder(h=6,d=3); >     translate([31,4,-.001]) >         cylinder(h=6,d=3); > } > > > _______________________________________________ > OpenSCAD mailing list > Discuss@.openscad > http://lists.openscad.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.openscad.org -- Sent from: http://forum.openscad.org/

Ok. So the way you create this type of rounded edge is you make a cube where you want the fillet and subtract the necessary cylinder from it. I made this example with the BOSL2 library, changing your code as shown below. The "edges" arg tells which edges to round. The anchor arg positions the cube correctly. (It would be nicer to do all the cubes centered, or attached relative to each other.) But if you don't want to use that or some other rounding library then I suggest you write your own function to produce the correct shape (with the slight extra overlap) because it's kind of fiddly to get everything in the right place. include<BOSL2/std.scad> difference() { union() { translate([0,18,0]) cube([37,16.67,4]); translate([22,18,4]) cuboid([6,16.67,30],rounding=-3,edges=[BOTTOM+LEFT,BOTTOM+RIGHT],anchor=BOTTOM+FRONT+LEFT,$fn=32); translate([28,0,0]) cube([9,19,4]); } translate([13,22,-.001]) cylinder(h=6,d=3); translate([31,4,-.001]) cylinder(h=6,d=3); } adrianv wrote > I realized as I was starting to write a solution that I don't know which > edge(s) you want rounded.
