This talk will show how Snap! can be used to produce OpenSCAD scripts to produce 3D models.
The project came about as I was experimenting with BeetleBlocks and TinkerCAD Codeblocks to produce parametric models - specifically the gridFinity storage bins.
However, I couldn't come up with an easy method of producing shapes other than cuboids and cylinders in BeetleBlocks and I ran into a limit of 200 parts per TinkerCAD Codeblocks script
I'd heard about OpenSCAD as a method of scripting 3D models and a light bulb went off in my head that I could maybe use Snap! codification to create these scripts.
And during the early stages of the project, I found that OpenSCAD had a great feature - once a script was open in preview mode - if the file was updated - the preview would update itself :)
This made the workflow much faster and practically as good as using TinkerCAD CodeBlocks
