I am using github gists, and then make a link to openjscad taht opens that gist

example:
https://jscad.xyz/#https://gist.githubusercontent.com/hrgdavor/7419194097fc2ffd42d840f82fc83ca1/raw/31e0194693629e780e3b82848f9082d1796814ec/rounded_top.js

and gist is :
https://gist.github.com/hrgdavor/7419194097fc2ffd42d840f82fc83ca1/

nice prototype

is it opensource ?

Hi,
kudos for the atx connector generator, pretty nice one

I am using windows 10 and chrome. Auto-reload on jscad.xyz works just fine for me.

Bu it only works for me if I drag and drop the jscad file on the button, but not if I click the button and chose the file.

I have used livereload for many years now and I use the one from npm:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/livereload
It may not have been developed for years but it just works.

livereload is actually not required, but it helps to reload changes faster (notice changes faster)
without livereload jscad has to scan project files/files periodically which can become slow

...
I have also converted from OpenSCAD when I discovered openjscad.

@rich-27 thanks for the feedback ... it is nice see more people join the community. Have fun and create more cool stuff

@rich-27 Browser glitches are pain to investigate and fix.

I am not a dev here, but I am curious.

Could you just for sake of more info test your "dice charging station" in chrome incognito(without plugins or ad blockers)

make sure "Enable Auto-reload" is checked and then use drag and drop to load the project file.

This is a cross post from https://github.com/jscad/OpenJSCAD.org/discussions/875
this demo also aims to be a template for future jscad tutorials

Here is a presentation of a proposal for a new jscad feature: http://3d.hrg.hr/jscad/three/new_params_proposal/parameters.html#0

It is an additional syntax that can be used instead getParameterDefinitions to simplify writing scripts that use parameters.

The intention is to keep getParameterDefinitions and have also this alternative way of defining parameters

the idea is allow developer to write the source source file like this:

function main({//jscadparams
  // size
  radius = 22,// Radius {type:'slider', live:1}
  // location (initially closed) {initial: 'closed'}
  x=0, // {type:'slider', live:1}
  y=0, // {type:'slider', live:1}
  z=0, // {type:'slider', live:1}
}){
  return translate([x,y,z],sphere({radius, height:x}))
}

and the script does not have to provide getParameterDefinitions

The parser would internally generate this definition based on the source above

function getParameterDefinitions(){
  return [
    {"name":"_group_1","type":"group","caption":"size"},
    {"caption":"Radius","type":"slider","name":"radius","initial":22,"live":1,"min":0,"max":44},
    {"name":"_group_2","type":"group","caption":"location (initially closed)","initial":"closed"},
    {"caption":"x","type":"slider","name":"x","initial":0,"live":1,"min":0,"max":100},
    {"caption":"y","type":"slider","name":"y","initial":0,"live":1,"min":0,"max":100},
    {"caption":"z","type":"slider","name":"z","initial":0,"live":1,"min":0,"max":100},
  ]
}

and the form would be something like this:

also, this demo uses a new worker implementation (with regl-renderer) that renders to offscreen canvas transferControlToOffscreen so both renderer and script execution are in the worker.

I am rather new here and I am trying to contribute a bit, but all in some spare fun time for myself.

I am curious to know what you are trying to accomplish, but unfortunately have no time to freelance.

So if no devs are available, I could help a bit.

@z3dev does your sabatical mean: no more releases until sept 1st ?

it shoud be no problem, as you can generate 2d as well as 3d shapes.

You could have different colors, but I think right now, you have no option for line type.

If you start with a simple file design.js, save it in a folder and use editor of your choice.

open https://openjscad.xyz/ and make sure you check the option "Enable Auto-reload"
drag and drop the file into the window and you will see the model

change your js file and save, changes will be picked-up automatically.
openjscad checks for changes every second, but if you want to see changes even faster you can use livereload.

one way to use livereload is via nodejs
if you have nodejs just run
npm -g install livereload
go to the folder with your design and run:
livereload

you must do the livereload step before you drag and drop design into openjscad window.

@RunningUtes

there is one discord server with many cad channels, there are just few ppl on jscad channel . Spread the word, add tickets to github, it is nice to have new community members.

@z3dev did a really nice job, I am stealing his thunder a bit by letting you see the preview of the project function

it is in the master branch if you have openjscad dev enviroment you could test it right away.
I am sure it will be available soon on the https://openjscad.xyz/ website

again , thnx @z3dev , this looks veery nice

I think you need to wait just a bit more.
https://github.com/jscad/OpenJSCAD.org/pull/843

based on the comment for that pull request, the project function is comming soon

@gilboonet if not localStorage, postMessage could work ... as design is running in worker.

and I will look into how to integrate more closely so we can communicate with the embeded jscad script.

PDF button fires a node js script that read that file and create a pdf from it, as I didn't find a way to fire that button with V2 I didn't add it.

can u share that script ?

Hi ,

I have taken your script and added some performance improvements to enable cool user interaction with the slicer

http://3d.hrg.hr/jscad/three/threejscad.html?uri=examples/sqed/index.js

by default "model preview" is ON and you can see the slices in 3D superimposed over the selected obj model.

speed improvements mean you can move sliders and have live preview.

if you uncheck the "model preview" you will get the 2d view of the parts with all the cuts for interconnecting like in the original version.

I will look into making a a new type of param that is file upload/url so that way users can use your script with their model just by accessing the website and no needing to know how to tweak the script.

this version ov jscad viewer has only stl export (I was lazy and it is only one I use) ... how did you generate PDF ?
