// Section: Dovetails
// Module: dovetail()
// Synopsis: Creates a possibly tapered dovetail shape.
// SynTags: Geom
// Topics: Joiners, Parts
// See Also: joiner(), snap_pin(), rabbit_clip()
//
// Usage:
// dovetail(gender, w=|width, h=|height, slide|thickness=, [slope=|angle=], [taper=|back_width=], [chamfer=], [r=|radius=], [round=], [extra=], [$slop=])
//
// Description:
// Produces a possibly tapered dovetail joint shape to attach to or subtract from two parts you wish to join together.
// The tapered dovetail is particularly advantageous for long joints because the joint assembles without binding until
// it is fully closed, and then wedges tightly. You can chamfer or round the corners of the dovetail shape for better
// printing and assembly, or choose a fully rounded joint that looks more like a puzzle piece. The dovetail appears
// parallel to the Y axis and projecting upwards, so in its default orientation it will slide together with a translation
// in the positive Y direction. The gender determines whether the shape is meant to be added to your model or
// differenced, and it also changes the anchor and orientation. The default anchor for dovetails is BOTTOM;
// the default orientation depends on the gender, with male dovetails oriented UP and female ones DOWN. The dovetails by default
// have extra extension of 0.01 for unions and differences. You should ensure that attachment is done with overlap=0 to ensure that
// the sizing and positioning is correct. To adjust the fit, use the $slop variable, which increases the depth and width of
// the female part of the joint to allow a clearance gap of $slop on each of the three sides.
//
// Arguments:
// gender = A string, "male" or "female", to specify the gender of the dovetail.
// w / width = Width (at the wider, top end) of the dovetail before tapering
// h / height = Height of the dovetail (the amount it projects from its base)
// slide / thickness = Distance the dovetail slides when you assemble it (length of sliding dovetails, thickness of regular dovetails)
// ---
// slope = slope of the dovetail. Standard woodworking slopes are 4, 6, or 8. Default: 6.
// angle = angle (in degrees) of the dovetail. Specify only one of slope and angle.
// taper = taper angle (in degrees). Dovetail gets narrower by this angle. Default: no taper
// back_width = width of right hand end of the dovetail. This alternate method of specifying the taper may be easier to manage. Specify only one of `taper` and `back_width`. Note that `back_width` should be smaller than `width` to taper in the customary direction, with the smaller end at the back.
// chamfer = amount to chamfer the corners of the joint (Default: no chamfer)
// r / radius = amount to round over the corners of the joint (Default: no rounding)
// round = true to round both corners of the dovetail and give it a puzzle piece look. Default: false.
// $slop = Increase the width of socket by double this amount and depth by this amount to allow adjustment of the fit.
// extra = amount of extra length and base extension added to dovetails for unions and differences. Default: 0.01
// Example: Ordinary straight dovetail, male version (sticking up) and female version (below the xy plane)
// dovetail("male", width=15, height=8, slide=30);
// right(20) dovetail("female", width=15, height=8, slide=30);
// Example: Adding a 6 degree taper (Such a big taper is usually not necessary, but easier to see for the example.)
// dovetail("male", w=15, h=8, slide=30, taper=6);
// right(20) dovetail("female", 15, 8, 30, taper=6); // Same as above
// Example: A block that can link to itself
// diff()
// cuboid([50,30,10]){
// attach(BACK) dovetail("male", slide=10, width=15, height=8);
// tag("remove")attach(FRONT) dovetail("female", slide=10, width=15, height=8);
// }
// Example: Setting the dovetail angle. This is too extreme to be useful.
// diff()
// cuboid([50,30,10]){
// attach(BACK) dovetail("male", slide=10, width=15, height=8, angle=30);
// tag("remove")attach(FRONT) dovetail("female", slide=10, width=15, height=8, angle=30);

// Example: Adding a chamfer helps printed parts fit together without problems at the corners
// diff("remove")
// cuboid([50,30,10]){
// attach(BACK) dovetail("male", slide=10, width=15, height=8, chamfer=1);
// tag("remove")attach(FRONT) dovetail("female", slide=10, width=15, height=8,chamfer=1);
// }
// Example: Rounding the outside corners is another option
// diff("remove")
// cuboid([50,30,10]) {
// attach(BACK) dovetail("male", slide=10, width=15, height=8, radius=1, $fn=32);
// tag("remove") attach(FRONT) dovetail("female", slide=10, width=15, height=8, radius=1, $fn=32);

// Example: Or you can make a fully rounded joint

// attach(BACK) dovetail("male", slide=10, width=15, height=8, radius=1.5, round=true);
// tag("remove")attach(FRONT) dovetail("female", slide=10, width=15, height=8, radius=1.5, round=true);
// }
// Example: With a long joint like this, a taper makes the joint easy to assemble. It will go together easily and wedge tightly if you get the tolerances right. Specifying the taper with `back_width` may be easier than using a taper angle.
// cuboid([50,30,10])

// cuboid([50,30,10])
// attach(BACK) xcopies(10,5) dovetail("male", slide=10, width=7, taper=4, height=4);

// Description:
// Creates a snap pin that can be inserted into an appropriate socket to connect two objects together. You can choose from some standard
// pin dimensions by giving a size, or you can specify all the pin geometry parameters yourself. If you use a standard size you can
// override the standard parameters by specifying other ones. The pins have flat sides so they can
// be printed. When oriented UP the shaft of the pin runs in the Z direction and the flat sides are the front and back. The default
// orientation (FRONT) and anchor (FRONT) places the pin in a printable configuration, flat side down on the xy plane.
// The tightness of fit is determined by `preload` and `clearance`. To make pins tighter increase `preload` and/or decrease `clearance`.
// .
// The "large" or "standard" size pin has a length of 10.8 and diameter of 7. The "medium" pin has a length of 8 and diameter of 4.6. The "small" pin

// if you add a lubricant. If `pointed` is true the socket is pointed to receive a pointed pin, otherwise it has a rounded and and
// will be shorter. If `fins` is set to true then two fins are included inside the socket to act as supports (which may help when printing tip up,
// especially when `pointed=false`). The default orientation is DOWN with anchor BOTTOM so that you can difference() the socket away from an object.

// Module: rabbit_clip()
// Synopsis: Creates a rabbit-eared clip that can snap into a slot.
// SynTags: Geom
// Topics: Joiners, Parts
// See Also: snap_pin(), joiner(), dovetail(), snap_pin(), rabbit_clip()
// Usage:
// rabbit_clip(type, length, width, snap, thickness, depth, [compression=], [clearance=], [lock=], [lock_clearance=], [splineteps=], [anchor=], [orient=], [spin=]) [ATTACHMENTS];
// Description:
// Creates a clip with two flexible ears to lock into a mating socket, or create a mask to produce the appropriate
// mating socket. The clip can be made to insert and release easily, or to hold much better, or it can be
// created with locking flanges that will make it very hard or impossible to remove. Unlike the snap pin, this clip
// is rectangular and can be made at any height, so a suitable clip could be very thin. It's also possible to get a
// solid connection with a short pin.
// .
// The type parameters specifies whether to make a clip, a socket mask, or a double clip. The length is the
// total nominal length of the clip. (The actual length will be very close, but not equal to this.) The width
// gives the nominal width of the clip, which is the actual width of the clip at its base. The snap parameter
// gives the depth of the clip sides, which controls how easy the clip is to insert and remove. The clip "ears" are
// made over-wide by the compression value. A nonzero compression helps make the clip secure in its socket.
// The socket's width and length are increased by the clearance value which creates some space and can compensate
// for printing inaccuracy. The socket will be slightly longer than the nominal width. The thickness is the thickness
// curved line that forms the clip. The clip depth is the amount the basic clip shape is extruded. Be sure that you
// make the socket with a larger depth than the clip (try 0.4 mm) to allow ease of insertion of the clip. The clearance
// value does not apply to the depth. The splinesteps parameter increases the sampling of the clip curves.
// .
// By default clips appear with orient=UP and sockets with orient=DOWN. The clips and sockets extend 0.02 units below
// their base so that unions and differences will work without trouble, but be sure that the attach overlap is smaller
// than 0.02.
// .
// The first figure shows the dimensions of the rabbit clip. The second figure shows the clip in red overlayed on
// its socket in yellow. The left clip has a nonzero clearance, so its socket is bigger than the clip all around.
// The right hand locking clip has no clearance, but it has a lock clearance, which provides some space behind
// the lock to allow the clip to fit. (Note that depending on your printer, this can be set to zero.)

// Section: Splines
// Module: hirth()
// Synopsis: Creates a Hirth face spline that locks together two cylinders.
// Syntags: Geom
// Usage:
// hirth(n, ir|id=, or|od=, tooth_angle, [cone_angle=], [chamfer=], [rounding=], [base=], [crop=], [anchor=], [spin=], [orient=]
// Description:
// Create a Hirth face spline. The Hirth face spline is a joint that locks together two cylinders using radially
// positioned triangular teeth on the ends of the cylinders. If the joint is held together (e.g. with a screw) then
// the two parts will rotate (or not) together. The two parts of the regular Hirth spline joint are identical.
// Each tooth is a triangle that grows larger with radius. You specify a nominal tooth angle; the actual tooth
// angle will be slightly different.
// .
// You can also specify a cone_angle which raises or lowers the angle of the teeth. When you do this you need to
// mate splines with opposite angles such as -20 and +20. The splines appear centered at the origin so that two
// splines will mate if their centers coincide. Therefore `attach(CENTER,CENTER)` will produce two mating splines
// assuming that they are rotated correctly. The bottom anchors will be at the bottom of the spline base. The top
// anchors are at an arbitrary location and are not useful.
// .
// By default the spline is created as a polygon with `2n` edges and the radius is the outer radius to the unchamfered corners.
// For large choices of `n` this will produce result that is close to circular. For small `n` the result will be obviously polygonal.
// If you want a cylindrical result then set `crop=true`, which will intersect an oversized version of the joint with a suitable cylinder.
// Note that cropping makes the most difference when the tooth count is low.
// .
// The teeth are chamfered proportionally based on the `chamfer` argument which specifies the fraction of the teeth tips
// to remove. The teeth valleys are chamfered by half the specified value to ensure that there is room for the parts
// to mate. The base is added based on the unchamfered dimensions of the joint, and the "teeth_bot" anchor is located
// based on the unchamfered dimensions.
// .
// By default the teeth are symmetric, which is ideal for registration and for situations where loading may occur in either
// direction. The skew parameter will skew the teeth by the specified amount, where a skew of ±1 gives a tooth with a vertical
// side either on the left or the right. Intermediate values will produce partially skewed teeth. Note that the skew
// applies after the tooth profile is computed with the specified tooth_angle, which means that the skewed tooth will
// have an altered tooth angle from the one specified.
// .
// The joint is constructed with a tooth peak aligned with the X+ axis.
// For two hirth joints to mate they must have the same tooth count, opposite cone angles, and the chamfer/rounding values
// must be equal. (One can be chamfered and one rounded, but with the same value.) The rotation required to mate the parts
// depends on the skew and whether the tooth count is odd or even. To apply this rotation automatically, set `rot=true`.
// Named Anchors:
// "teeth_bot" = center of the joint, aligned with the bottom of the (unchamfered/unrounded) teeth, pointing DOWN.
// Arguments:
// n = number of teeth
// ir/id = inner radius or diameter
// or/od = outer radius or diameter
// tooth_angle = nominal tooth angle. Default: 60
// cone_angle = raise or lower the angle of the teeth in the radial direction. Default: 0
// skew = skew the tooth shape. Default: 0
// chamfer = chamfer teeth by this fraction at tips and half this fraction at valleys. Default: 0
// rounding = round the teeth by this fraction at the tips, and half this fraction at valleys. Default: 0
// rot = if true rotate so the part will mate (via attachment) with another identical part. Default: false
// base = add base of this height to the bottom. Default: 1
// crop = crop to a cylindrical shape. Default: false
// anchor = Translate so anchor point is at origin (0,0,0). See [anchor](attachments.scad#subsection-anchor). Default: `CENTER`
// spin = Rotate this many degrees around the Z axis after anchor. See [spin](attachments.scad#subsection-spin). Default: `0`
// orient = Vector to rotate top towards, after spin. See [orient](attachments.scad#subsection-orient). Default: `UP`

// hirth(32,20,50);

// hirth(8,20,50,tooth_angle=90,base=10,rounding=.05,crop=true,$fn=48);
// Example(3D,NoScale): Two identical parts joined together (with 1 unit offset to reveal the joint line). With odd tooth count and no skew the teeth line up correctly:
// hirth(27,20,50, tooth_angle=60,base=2,chamfer=.05)
// up(1) attach(CENTER,CENTER)
// hirth(27,20,50, tooth_angle=60,base=2,chamfer=.05);
// Example(3D,NoScale): Two conical parts joined together, with opposite cone angles for a correct joint. With an even tooth count one part needs to be rotated for the parts to align:

// hirth(17,20,50,skew=-1, base=5, chamfer=0.05);
// Example(3D,NoScale): If you want to change how tall the teeth are you do that by changing the tooth angle. Increasing the tooth angle makes the teeth shorter:
