Yet another openscad translator.

Yaost - is python to openscad translator.

Prerequisites

  • python >= 3.5
  • openscad >= 2019

Quickstart

Create file example.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from yaost import project, cube

p = Project('example project')

@p.add_part
def simple_cube():
    return cube(10, 10, 10)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    p.run()

Build scad file:

$ python3 example.py build-scad

Now you can see your scad model:

$ openscad scad/simple-cube.scad

To build stl, run:

$ python3 example.py build-stl

Your model will be at stl/simple-cube.stl

You can run yaost in watch mode, it regenerates scad each time when you save python file:

$ python example.py watch

The open file with

$ openscad scad/simple-cube.scad

Change something in example.py (eg. cube(30, 10, 10)) you should see changes in openscad viewer immediately.
