Why Yet Another OpenScad Script Generator? They can be added and removed with the add_modifier, remove_modifier and has_modifiers functions. In PythonOpenScad There are 4 flags, DISABLE, SHOW_ONLY, DEBUG and TRANSPARENT. OpenPyScad’s modifier interface is not implemented but a different PythonOpenScad specific API accomplishes the same function. All the OpenPyScad equivalent classes have capitalized names while the SolidPython classes have lower case names (the classes are different but they can be compared for equality). However, the POSC implementation gives no preference between either and objects created with one API can be mixed and matched with objects created using the other API. (BTW, these functions are simply wrapper functions over the transformation class constructors) This API style is more traditional of solid modelling APIs. POSC Compatability with the OpenPyScad and SolidPython APIsĮach POSC object contains member functions for all the OpenScad transformations.
If you paste this code into OpenScad you get this: This is because PythonOpenScad converts all parameters to their corresponding expected type. Note that the OpenScad script above is all using floating point numbers. The generated OpenScad code in both cases above looks like the SolidPython style code with some interesting differences, note the braces () which encapsulates the list of objects that the transforms apply to. However, as an alternative, SolidPython style is also supported, like this.įrom pythonopenscad import text, linear_extrude, translate
This demostrates the OpenPyScad style API and in fact, apart from the import line and conversion to string in print, should execute as expected using OpenPyScad. The Python code below generates a 3D solid model of text saying ‘Hello world!’.

When comparing PolyDiceGenerator and splitflap you can also consider the following projects: Oh, interesting, I see Vestaboard also has a (smaller) one for around $3k. I seem to remember the cost being in the $10k+ region but I don't see a price and I could be way off base.
It seems like the cost could get in the $2-$4 range per character but I couldn't figure out how to do it without a significant amount of labor involved in cutting the flaps.įYI, there's also a company called Oat Foundry that sells large split-flap displays. I estimate about $10 per character (as opposed to the $180/character (!!) another poster mentioned through Alibaba), with a large portion of the cost being the custom cut "flaps" (in small quantities).
I've been following this project for a while. The documentation on how to build the Split Flap is also really awesome, including how to cut your own flaps. Scott Bezek has a great video on "How a Split Flap Display Works".
