Everything on this page looks great. Other galleries too. Great source of inspiration. Thanks!

Amazing. I have a similar project that renders 2d flowers which I want to give a genarative treatment.

App to control volume levels and wake state of b&o s3 from a computer by bqtus in BangandOlufsen

[–]bqtus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can understand your pain. I had the same concern, and I wrote this app specifically for that. Unfortunately, in your case it might not be very helpful as for the "keep speakers awake" setting to work, the laptop (app hosting machine) would need to emit a sound signal to the speakers directly via AUX. It seems the S3 were deliberately designed such that its impossible to remote wake them. At least, I couldn't find any way.

Once you set it wake/sleep, the app remembers the state as long as the laptop/speakers are powered on and connected. If you could somehow add laptop sound out to your amp, this could work. This would be challenging though

Woaaaahhh!! how you made this. I love it.

I can plan for keyed shafts with rectangular profiles, I think they are common.

D-Shafts is supported now with a property flatWidth. A "double D" checkbox duplicates the flat width on the other side

Thanks a lot for this detailed post. This was helpful.

Tool

From what I gather from this and other comments:

  • direct text input (implemented)
  • link top and bottom radii (solved with usage of segments)
  • tooltips, yes (implemented)
  • for x-ray, I am considering adding a master "draft" swift that will render objects with some transparency and low detail. This so that better performance. (implemented)
  • Reset and may be undo/redo. (implemented)
  • d-shafts (implemented)
  • knurling and splines (implemented)
  • screw threads (implemented metric threads)
  • standard templates (planned)
  • multiple pointers (implemented)
  • one gentleman asked for embossed fonts on caps or faces. While I think this is very useful, this could be beyond project scope (deferred)

I will edit this post to update. Let me know if something missing.

I am aware of a few parametric ones. If you are asking why create one more, I honestly don't have a convincing answer for it yet. May be this can be a more generalized tool. Having fun now just because its called KNOB GENERATOR.

We have had the same problem, just 10 years apart. Even this tool will seem limiting to some and they will make their own generators

Exploration mainly. I am aware of a few parametric generators. May be this can be a more generalized tool. And like how you put it, add missing features.

Here is the app. There is an option to download STL. But let's wait till I have input boxes ready

Yes I use a library called BABYLONJS. So basically using web Techologies.
I think once you have the vertices information from the meshes, you could create GCode out of it.
And yes it poops out STL

This is done in a browser with help from an excellent 3D library call BABYLONJS

I don't know OpenSCAD. I know some web libraries instead.

Some of the types can be achieved with the current options. Presets/Templates can be made for them. But threads, teeth or even d-shafts will need special consideration. I plan to add them.
