I am doing quite well with designing what I need with OpenSCAD.
Can someone tell me what is involved with translating(scad joke lol) my 3D
design into something my 3D printer will recognize and make?

Mr. Summers:
Most 3D printer tool chains understand STL files.
Export the file as STL from OpenSCAD and then
use the tool chain from your printer to translate it into G-code.
