hello!
and thanks a lot for the help with the iaito, that one went really well!
this gave me the impulsion to try another one of my projects, i want to make a hook, but at the moment i hit a performance problem....
i just started and i have preview rendering times of several minutes.....
i heavily suspect that there is a more efficient way to achieve this?
the sweep function needs polygons, but polygons, are, well, pointy.....
that's why i tried it with the 2D shapes and hull... but as is, dev on it is very complicated..... and other than to buy a more powerful comp.....
this is what i tried:
radius = 15;
step = 5;
//quers(d1 = 2, d2 = 1.5*2, 2, maxb = 5);
for(angle = [0:step:110])
{
hull()
{
rotate([angle,0,0])
translate([0,radius,0])
linear_extrude(height = .1)quers(d1 = minrad(angle), d2 = 1.5*minrad(angle), minrad(angle), maxb = 5);
rotate([angle+step,0,0])
translate([0,radius,0])
linear_extrude(height = .1)quers(d1 = minrad(angle+step), d2 = 1.5*minrad(angle+step), minrad(angle+step), maxb = 5);
}
}
function minrad(alpha) = -1/30*alpha +5;
module quers(d1 = 2, d2 = 4, h= 2, maxb = 0)
{
$fn = 200;
hull()
{
if(maxb > 0)
{
difference()
{
union()
{
translate([0,h/2,0]) circle(d = d2);
translate([0,-h/2,0]) circle(d = d1);
}
union()
{
translate([1.9*h,-h/2,0]) rotate([0,0,-atan((d2-d1)/h)/2])color("red") square(3*h,h,center = true);
translate([-1.9*h,-h/2,0]) rotate([0,0,atan((d2-d1)/h)/2])color("red") square(3*h,h,center = true);
}
}
}
else
{
translate([0,h/2,0]) circle(d = d2);
translate([0,-h/2,0]) circle(d = d1);
}
}
}//module quers(d1 = 2, d2 = 4 )
