Module: slider()

Synopsis: Creates a V-groove slider. ^[Geom]

Topics: Parts, Sliders

See Also: rail()

Usage:

slider(l, w, h, [base=], [wall=], [ang=], [$slop=]) [ATTACHMENTS];

Description:

Creates a slider to match a V-groove rail.

Arguments:

By Position	What it does
`l`	Length (long axis) of slider.
`w`	Width of slider.
`h`	Height of slider.

By Name	What it does
`base`	Height of slider base.
`wall`	Width of wall behind each side of the slider.
`ang`	Overhang angle for slider, to facilitate supportless printig.
`anchor`	Translate so anchor point is at origin (0,0,0). See anchor. Default: `CENTER`
`spin`	Rotate this many degrees around the Z axis after anchor. See spin. Default: `0`
`orient`	Vector to rotate top towards, after spin. See orient. Default: `UP`
`$slop`	The printer-specific slop value to make parts fit just right.

Example 1:

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
include <BOSL2/sliders.scad>
slider(l=30, base=10, wall=4, $slop=0.2, spin=90);

Module: rail()

`ang`	Overhang angle for slider, to facilitate supportless printing.

By Name	What it does
`anchor`	Translate so anchor point is at origin (0,0,0). See anchor. Default: `BOTTOM`
`spin`	Rotate this many degrees around the Z axis after anchor. See spin. Default: `0`
`orient`	Vector to rotate top towards, after spin. See orient. Default: `UP`

Example 1:

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
include <BOSL2/sliders.scad>
rail(l=100, w=10, h=10);
