Flight to Death Valley

We took the T210 down to Furnace Creek, Death Valley national park. Here's some snapshots in no particular order (LOL): And a video of the landing:

OpenSCAD Module for Rounded Boxes

Image
I got kind of tired of rewriting the same OpenSCAD code to build rounded boxes for things and messing up the minkowski sum math in the process, so I built a simple module to do it for me.  Usage is simple: include <rounded_case.scad> rounded_case(25, 25, 10, 2); The paramaters are: rounded_case(X, Y, Z, T, LID , LID_OFFSET ) Where: X, Y, Z : Inside dimensions of box T : Thickness of walls LID : optional, bool : true to also make a lid LID_OFFSET : optional :  how much smaller to make the "lip" of the lid that fits inside the top of the box The outside dimensions of the box will be the inside dimensions + 2 x T.   E.g. if the X dimension is 20mm, and T is 2mm, then the width of the box will be 24mm (20 + 2 + 2).   The example above will make a box that is 29mm x 29mm x 14mm (with the lid on) on the outside, and 25 x 25 x 10 on the inside. Get it here:  rounded_case.scad
