Huh, I already built my own (very janky) Python wrapper around OpenSCAD’s horrible syntax and editor, but that looks like a much better solution. Thanks!
I can second, build123d is awesome!
Splines, fillets, full object-oriented programming techniques if you care to use them including directly referencing properties of existing parts, which is something OpenSCAD fundamentally cannot do.
It has two syntaxes you can choose from, one more oriented toward traditional CAD users (builder mode) and one more oriented toward developers (algebra mode). As a developer, I have found it much easier to work with algebra mode versus builder mode.
i’ve used a little bit of it in the past, but now i’m learning Build123d instead. It seems better about basically everything
Just as I was coming to terms with OpenSCAD syntax…

Thanks for this, tried openscad once for a real project. Did okay, but it’s a pretty steep learning curve. Will try this next.
