Hi there, I am thinking of building a desk, but this time not with wood. I would like to design it with openSCAD. The structure would be made of metal, but I'm still hesitating between iron heating pipes with cast iron fittings or aluminum extruded bars. I have already found aluminum extruded bars within NopScad, I think the threaded iron heating pipes should be fairly easy to build with existing components. Would you already have seen fittings like this designed with openSCAD: https://homeinvasion.fr/collections/raccords-fonte-noire ? I haven't found a library yet that does everything, just this set of files that will help: CTV https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4323468 Best regards, -- Bruno Verachten

I haven't done iron pipes, but I've done PVC.  I did some stuff for modeling sprinkler plumbing. See https://forum.openscad.org/Plumbing-td29639.html . It worked pretty well, but is only designed for plumbing, not construction.  It doesn't have any way to connect pipes into loops.  (Of course, if they *happen* to connect back into loops, it doesn't care, but it won't help you.)

The BOSL2 library has NPT pipe threading modules, but it doesn’t have anything for the pipes themselves. -Revar > On Jan 30, 2022, at 6:53 AM, Verachten Bruno <gounthar@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi there, > > I am thinking of building a desk, but this time not with wood.
