This is awesome, but I also would love OpenSCAD versions so I can use my PhD ...
I have used OpenSCAD for various things, and I am a programmer by trade (at least partially) but it still breaks my brain. I just do absurd things with FreeCAD formulae instead.
OpenSCAD just clicked for me when I realized it was basically just a bit of code tying together mathematical operations. FreeCAD is completely inscrutable to me.
I wish I could wrap my head around either. I haven't even followed a tutorial and I have been able to produce functional replacement parts and mods to various things at work using onshape or f360 but I would much rather not use those if I could use anything else nearly as quickly.
But openscad doesn't do sensible fillets or chamfers, so it's almost useless for most real parts. Trivial in freecad (unless your part is wonky enough that it becomes impossible to calculate).
Sure it does! You just have to program them with math.
