09:43 katsmeow-afk put on socks first, to be sure you don't eat them for breakfast
10:09 SquirrelCZECH anybody familiar with scad-s problem with hole size?
10:09 SquirrelCZECH :)
10:09 SquirrelCZECH I suppose so, so I will just ask
10:10 SquirrelCZECH for rendering "circle" with SW that can't do proper circle, so it uses n-shape (like scad).. there are two possible solutions for the problem
10:11 SquirrelCZECH either, it generates n+1 points on the circle and connects them
10:12 SquirrelCZECH or, it creates circle with same method, but little bit bigger, so the result is that the only points which are "on the circle we wanted" are "middle point" of the lines
10:13 SquirrelCZECH so, would you hate when your CAD would do the first method normally and second method for things that are "negative" (alias. negative things under difference)
12:40 wolfmanjm most people use the polyhole solution for scad
12:53 SquirrelCZECH polyhole?

22:59 rue_more hmm if I took two avrs and set them up to be able to flash each other...
