Split any OpenScad model into two screw-together pieces
Description
This is a utility function for OpenSCAD users, to split a tall model into two pieces connected by screw threads Uses the threads library from https://dkprojects.net/openscad-threads/ install it into the same directory as this or change the include statement below The threaded portion is centered on [0,0] on the XY plane and extends in the Z plane. Threads are 45 pitched degrees and shouldn't need support Parameters: half - either "bottom" or "top" to specify which half to generate. Ultimately you have to do both z - z value of where to split the model Optional: diameter - diameter of the threaded part, Obviously must be smaller than that part of the model pitch - thread pitch in mm, e.g. 1.5mm length = length of the threaded postion thread_slop - extra doameter to make the female part of the thread, on the top piece reverse - if true, place the male thread on the top piece Children: The model to split. See the split_test module below for an example of how to use. split(half="bottom", diameter=14, pitch=1.5, length=8) { Your model, centered at origin in x, y } The halves of the split model are left oriented just as they were in the full model
