basic questions $fn
Thu, Oct 12, 2017 2:38 PM
hi,
i am new into 3d and want to use this tool to make some 3d prints.
first modelling in openscad and then slicing and printing on prusa i3
mk3.
my question about modelling, i havt this simple code:
$fn = 10;
difference() {
cube (size = [40,30,4]);
# translate ([20,10,0]) {
cylinder(d = 7, h = 4);
}
}
now when i render the model the hole does not look round. wehn i alter
the parameter $fn to 100 it looks round. is this parameter $fn just a
visual thing or does my 3d print (after slicing) come out as it looks on
the screen with edges?
and next question: i want to have this plate with a hole. translate
starts from 0 and the hole/cylinder is exact 4 high, as the plate. is
that ok? or do i have to set translet -1 and cylinder high 6, as shown
on the manual and sample?
thank you, claudio
