hello!
on another subject my wife wants seedling protectors....
its a cylinder with on top a truncated cone to dissuade the rampant insects/molluscs to get inside and eat the seedling...
without the truncated cone, i can write on the cylinder with the write.scad library...
that library has several possibilities, but i didn't find the one to write on a cone?
did i miss something?
that's what i tried:
<use Writescad/write.scad>
module collerette(d = 60, h=60)
{
translate([0,0,height-20])
difference()
{
union()
{
color("magenta")cylinder(d1=d+2*w+40, d2=d,h = 20);
translate([0,0,50])rotate([-40,06,0])mirror([0,0,1])writecylinder(label[index],[0,0,0],radius=(d+70+2*w)/2,height=0,rotate=10,east=0,face="top",h=10);
if(len(label[index]) < PI*5.5)
writecylinder(label[index],[0,0,0],radius=40,height=105,rotate=0,east=180,face="top",h=10);
}
color("black")translate([0,0,-0.1])cylinder(d1=d+40, d2=d-2*w,h = 20.2);
}
}
now before i consume even more time on this than planned, maybe there's allready some easy solution to this?
thanks in advance
Bruno
