I did update my site for simple configurable 3d printing shapes stl.parts. Thanks for you feedback last Sunday!

  • The engine and language for the shapes is JSCAD V2 now, this was quite some work as it is fundamentally different from the original OpenJSCAD. I also had to rewrite the code for all shapes and make new Screenshots of every shape. Luckily I managed to build a function that automatically creates and downloads a screenshot in the right size.
  • Zooming requires holding shift now so you don’t accidentally zoom when you want to scroll
  • There is a array parameter now where you can add items with multiple parameters each, for example an array of coordinates
  • Parameters can be optional
  • The description for parameters works now
  • The documentation link was updated and I added an Imprint and contact page (Thanks Greenreader9)
  • And I made a simple logo (mostly for having a favicon 😄)

The updated editor with documentation link:

I have so many ideas for shapes, I think the next update will just be new shapes :-D

Did you know that it is actually pretty hard to name shapes? Would you instantly know what a "Hollow Cuboid with Floor" or a "Truncated Cone with Hole" is without looking at the site? I tried my best…
