NopSCADlib
An ever expanding library of parts modelled in OpenSCAD useful for 3D printers and enclosures for electronics, etc.
It contains lots of vitamins (the RepRap term for non-printed parts), some general purpose printed parts and some utilities. There are also Python scripts to generate Bills of Materials (BOMs), STL files for all the printed parts, DXF files for CNC routed parts in a project and a manual containing assembly instructions and exploded views by scraping markdown embedded in OpenSCAD comments, see scripts.
A simple example project can be found here and more complex examples here.
For more examples of what it can make see the gallery.

A list of changes classified as breaking, additions or fixes is maintained in CHANGELOG.md.
Table of Contents
7_segments
7 Segment displays.
Can be single digits stacked side by side or can be multiple digits in one unit. This is determined by the overall width compared to the width of a digit. Presence of a decimal point is determined by the number of pins. Its position is determined by a heuristic.

Ball_bearings
Simple model of ball bearings with seals, the colour of which can be specified. If silver they are assumed to be metal and the part number gets a ZZ suffix. Any other colour is assumed to be rubber and the suffix is -2RS.
If a ball bearing has a child it is placed on its top surface, the same as nuts and washers, etc.
Also single bearing balls are modelled as just a silver sphere and a BOM entry.

Belts
Models timing belt running in a path over toothed or smooth pulleys and calculates an accurate length. Only models 2D paths, belt may twist to support crossed belt core XY and other designs where the belt twists!
By default the path is a closed loop. An open loop can be specified by specifying open=true, and in that case the start and end points are not connected, leaving the loop open.
To get a 180 degree twist of the loop, you can use the twist argument. Twist can be a single number, and in that case the belt will twist after
the position with that number. Alternatively twist can be a list of boolean values with a boolean for each position; the belt will then twist after
the position that have a true value in the twist list. If the path is specified with pulley/idler types, then you can use auto_twist=true; in
that case the belt will automatically twist so the back of the belt always runs against idlers and the tooth side runs against pulleys. If you use
open=true then you might also use start_twist=true to let the belt start the part with the back side out.
The path must be specified as a list of positions. Each position should be either a vector with [x, y, pulley] or [x, y, r]. A pulley is a type from
pulleys.scad, and correct radius and angle will automatically be calculated. Alternatively a radius can be specified directly.
To make the back of the belt run against a smooth pulley on the outside of the loop specify a negative pitch radius. Alternatively you can just specify smooth pulleys in the path, and it will then happen automatically.
Individual teeth are not drawn, instead they are represented by a lighter colour.

Microswitches
Used for limit switches. Currently only the button type is supported as the lever and roller types are less accurate.
The origin of the switch is in the center of the body. microswitch_button_pos() is the offset to tip of the button at its operating point.
The switch is drawn with the button at the nominal operation point. This actual trigger point can be plus or minus microswitch_op_tol(type).
When the button is released it comes out by a maximum of microswitch_fp_max(type) from the nominal operating point.

Sheets
Sheet materials. Rectangular with optional rounded corners. Negative radii make a chamfer.
The "Soft" parameter can be used to determine if the sheet material needs machine screws or wood screws, e.g.:
- If soft, wood screws will be used, with a pilot hole.
- If not soft, either tapped holes or a clearance hole and nuts will be used to retain screws.
The "Colour" parameter is a quad-array: [R, G, B, Alpha], or can be a named colour, see OpenSCAD_User_Manual.
For speed sheets should be modelled in 2D by subtracting holes from 2D templates made by sheet_2D() and then extruded to 3D with render_2D_sheet().
Note that modules that drill holes will return a 2D object if h is set to 0 to facilitate this.
If 3D features are needed, for example countersinks, then sheets can be modelled in 3D using sheet() and then coloured with render_sheet().
When woven sheets (e.g. carbon fibre) are rendered it is necessary to specify the dimensions again to render_sheet() or render_2D_sheet().

Box
A box made from routed or laser cut sheet sheets and printed profiles and bezels. It can be arbitrarily large
compared to the 3D printed parts because they can be cut into interlocking sections and solvent welded
together. The box panels can be customised to have holes and parts mounted on them by overriding the
definitions of box_base(), box_front(), etc.
box.scad should be used and box_assembly.scad included.
A box is defined with a list that specifies the inside dimensions, top, bottom and side sheet materials, the
screw type and printed part wall thickness. This diagram shows how the various dimensions are labelled:
Normally the side sheets are the same type but they can be overridden individually as long as the substitute has the same thickness.
A box can have an optional name to allow more than one in the same project.
The top bezel can have an optional child, which is subtracted to allow modification.

A box made from CNC cut panels butted together using printed fixing blocks. Useful for making large boxes with minimal 3D printing. More blocks are added as the box gets bigger.
Needs to be included rather than used to allow the panel definitions to be overridden to add holes
and mounted components.
A list specifies the internal dimensions, screw type, top, bottom and side sheet types and the block maximum spacing.
- An optional name can be specified to allow more then one box in a project.
- An optional list of fixing blocks to be omitted can be given.
- Star washers can be omitted by setting the 11th parameter to false.
Uses fixing blocks and corner blocks by default. Setting thin_blocks uses 2screw_blocks instead of
fixing_blocks along the sides.

Corner_block
Corner brackets using threaded inserts for fastening three sheets together at right angles. Defaults to M3 but other screws sizes can be specified provided they have inserts defined.
See butt_box for an example of usage.
Note that the block with its inserts is defined as a sub assembly, but its fasteners get added to the parent assembly.
Specific fasteners can be omitted by setting a side's thickness to 0 and the block omitted by setting show_block to false.
This allows the block and one set of fasteners to be on one assembly and the other fasteners on the mating assemblies.
Star washers can be omitted by setting star_washers to false.
A 2screw_block is a thinner version with two screws and two mating surfaces. It can be used as an alternative to fixing blocks when high lateral rigidity is not required.

Drag_chain
Parametric cable drag chain to limit the bend radius of a cable run.
Each link has a maximum bend angle of 45°, so the minimum radius is proportional to the link length.
The travel property is how far it can move in each direction, i.e. half the maximum travel if the chain is mounted in the middle of the travel.
The ends can have screw lugs with four screw positions to choose from, specified by a list of two arrays of four bools.
If none are enabled then a child object is expected to customise the end and this gets unioned with the blank end.
If both ends are customised then two children are expected.
Each child is called twice, once with $fasteners set to 0 to augment the STL and again with $fasteners set to 1 to add
to the assembly, for example to add inserts.

Flat_hinge
A parametric flat hinge. A piece of filament can be used for the hinge pin.
The width, depth, thickness, number and type of screws, number of knuckles, knuckle diameter, pin diameter and clearance can all be varied. A margin between the screws and the knuckle edge can be enforced to allow the hinge to bend all the way back to 270° from closed.
Opening the test in OpenSCAD with its customiser enabled allows these parameters to be played with.
Note setting thickness1 or thickness2 to zero in the hinge_fastened_assembly() removes the screws from one side or the other and
setting show_hinge to false removes the hinge.
This allows the hinges and one set of screws to belong to one assembly and the other set of screws to another assembly.
