Hi,
I am sure I do not understand something essential about the for loop in
OpenSCAD. Here is my little code:
//Parameters for the cool air ducts
cadductsn = 4; //Number of cool air ducts
caddiamo = 3; //Outer diameter of cool air ducts
caddiami = 2; //Inner diameter of cool air ducts
cadlength = 40; //Length of cool air ducts
caddist = 12.5; //distance of cool air ducts from x-axis
pcoolairducts = 27.5;
// Module onecoolairduct
module onecoolairduct(){
rotate([0,90,0])
translate([caddist,0,0])
linear_extrude(cadlength,center=true,convexity=10)
difference(){
circle(r=caddiamo/2);
circle(r=caddiami/2);
}
}
// Module coolairduct
module coolairduct(){
for(i=[1:cadductsn])
rotate([360/cadductsn,0,0])
onecoolairduct();
}
My expectation was that I will get four of these pipes with 90 degree
rotation to each other. I see only one. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks ahead,
Infocean

I suspect that should read: rotate([90*i,0,0])
ciao,
Torsten.
Yes, you are right .
rotate([i*360/cadductsn,0,0])
Thanks for looking at it!
