This file provides 2D masking shapes that you can use with edge_profile() to mask edges. The shapes include the simple roundover and chamfer as well as more elaborate shapes like the cove and ogee found in furniture and architecture. You can make the masks as geometry or as 2D paths.

To use, add the following lines to the beginning of your file:

include <BOSL2/std.scad>

See Also: corner_profile(), edge_profile(), face_profile(), fillet()

Usage: As module

• mask2d_roundover(r|d=|h=|height=|cut=|joint=, [inset], [mask_angle], [excess], [flat_top=], [quarter_round=]) [ATTACHMENTS];

Usage: As function

• path = mask2d_roundover(r|d=|h=|height=|cut=|joint=, [inset], [mask_angle], [excess], [flat_top=], [quarter_round=]);

Description:

Creates a 2D roundover/bead mask shape that is useful for extruding into a 3D mask for an edge. Conversely, you can use that same extruded shape to make an interior fillet between two walls. As a 2D mask, this is designed to be differenced away from the edge of a shape that with its corner at the origin and one edge on the X+ axis and the other mask_angle degrees counterclockwise from the X+ axis. If called as a function, returns a 2D path of the outline of the mask shape.

The roundover can be specified by radius, diameter, height, cut, or joint length.

If you need roundings to agree on edges of different mask_angle, e.g. to round the base of a prismoid, then you need all of the masks used to have the same height. (Note that it may appear that matching joint would also work, but it does not because the joint distances are measured in different directions.) You can get the same height by setting the height parameter, which is an alternate way to control the size of the rounding. You can also set quarter_round=true, which creates a rounding that uses a quarter circle of the specified radius for all mask angles. If you have set inset you will need flat_top=true as well. Note that this is the default if you use quarter_round=true but not otherwise. Generally if you want a roundover results are best using the height option but if you want a bead as you get using inset the results are often best using the quarter_round=true option.

Arguments:

Side Effects:

• Tags the children with "remove" (and hence sets $tag) if no tag is already set.

Example 11: Masking by Edge Attachment

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
diff()
cube([50,60,70],center=true)
    edge_profile([TOP,"Z"],except=[BACK,TOP+LEFT])
        mask2d_roundover(h=12, inset=2);

Example 12: Making an interior fillet

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
%render() difference() {
    move(-[5,0,5]) cube(30, anchor=BOT+LEFT);
    cube(310, anchor=BOT+LEFT);

Example 13: Rounding over top of an extreme prismoid using height option

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
diff()
  prismoid([30,20], [50,60], h=20, shift=[40,50])
     edge_profile(TOP, excess=27)
        mask2d_roundover(height=5, mask_angle=$edge_angle, $fn=128);

Example 14: Using the quarter_round option results in a lip on obtuse angles, so it may not be the best choice for pure roundings.

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
diff()
  prismoid([30,20], [50,60], h=20, shift=[40,50])
     edge_profile(TOP, excess=27)

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
diff()
  prismoid([30,20], [50,60], h=20, shift=[40,50])
     edge_profile(TOP, excess=27)
        mask2d_roundover(height=5, mask_angle=$edge_angle, inset=1.5, flat_top=true, $fn=128);

Example 16: Bead may be more pleasing using the quarter_round option, with curves terminating in a plane parallel to the prismoid top. The size of the inset edge will be larger than requested when the angle is obtuse.

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
diff()
  prismoid([30,20], [50,60], h=20, shift=[40,50])
     edge_profile(TOP, excess=27)
        mask2d_roundover(r=5, mask_angle=$edge_angle, quarter_round=true, inset=1.5, $fn=128);

Usage: As Function

• path = mask2d_teardrop(r|d=, [angle], [inset], [mask_angle], [excess], [cut=], [joint=], [h=|height=]);

Description:

Creates a 2D teardrop mask shape that is useful for extruding into a 3D mask for an edge. Conversely, you can use that same extruded shape to make an interior teardrop fillet between two walls. As a 2D mask, this is designed to be differenced away from the edge of a shape that with its corner at the origin and one edge on the X+ axis and the other mask_angle degrees counterclockwise from the X+ axis. If called as a function, returns a 2D path of the outline of the mask shape. This is particularly useful to make partially rounded bottoms, that don't need support to print. The roundover can be specified by radius, diameter, height, cut, or joint length.

Arguments:

Side Effects:

• Tags the children with "remove" (and hence sets $tag) if no tag is already set.

Example 4: Increasing Excess

include <BOSL2/std.scad>

Example 5: Using a Custom Angle

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
mask2d_teardrop(r=10,angle=30,$fn=128);

Example 6: With an acute mask_angle you can choose an angle of zero:

include <BOSL2/std.scad>

Example 7: With an acute mask_angle you can even choose a negative angle

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
mask2d_teardrop(r=10,mask_angle=44,angle=-15);

Example 8: With an obtuse angle you need to choose a larger angle. Here we add inset.

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
mask2d_teardrop(h=10, mask_angle=135,angle=60, inset=2);

Example 9: Same thing with flat_top=true.

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
mask2d_teardrop(h=10, mask_angle=135,angle=60, inset=2, flat_top=true);

Example 10: Masking by Edge Attachment

include <BOSL2/std.scad>

Synopsis: Creates a 2D cove (quarter-round) mask shape. ^{[Geom] [Path]}

Topics: Shapes (2D), Paths (2D), Path Generators, Attachable, Masks (2D)

See Also: corner_profile(), edge_profile(), face_profile()

Usage: As module

• mask2d_cove(r|d=|h=|height=, [inset], [mask_angle], [excess], [bulge=], [flat_top=], [quarter_round=]) [ATTACHMENTS];

Usage: As function

• path = mask2d_cove(r|d=|h=, [inset], [mask_angle], [excess], [bulge=], [flat_top=]);

Description:

Creates a 2D cove mask shape that is useful for extruding into a 3D mask for an edge. Conversely, you can use that same extruded shape to make an interior rounded shelf decoration between two walls. As a 2D mask, this is designed to be differenced away from the edge of a shape that with its corner at the origin and one edge on the X+ axis and the other mask_angle degrees counterclockwise from the X+ axis. If called as a function, returns a 2D path of the outline of the mask shape.

If you need coves to agree on edges of different mask_angle, e.g. on the top of a prismoid, then you need all of the masks used to have the same height. You can get the same height by setting the height parameter. For obtuse angles, however, the cove mask may not have is maximum height at the edge, which means it won't mate with adjacent coves. You can fix this using flat_top=true which extends the circle with a line to maintain a flat top. Another way to fix it is to set bulge. You can also achieve constant height using the quarter_round= option, which uses a quarter circle of the specified size for all mask_angle values. This option often produces a nice result because coves all terminate in a plane at 90 degrees.

Arguments:

Side Effects:

• Tags the children with "remove" (and hence sets $tag) if no tag is already set.

Example 1: 2D Cove Mask by Radius

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
mask2d_cove(r=10);

Example 2: 2D Inset Cove Mask (not much different than a regular cove of larger radius)

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
mask2d_cove(r=10,inset=3);

Example 3: 2D Cove Mask for acute angle, specified by height, with the bulge set to change the curve. Note that the circular arc is not perpendicular to the sides.

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
mask2d_cove(h=10,mask_angle=55, bulge=3);

Example 4: 2D Cove Mask for obtuse angle, specified by height. This will produce an odd result if combined with other masks because the maximum height is in the middle.

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
mask2d_cove(h=10,mask_angle=145);

Example 5: 2D Cove Mask for obtuse angle with flat top. This is one solution to the problem of the previous example. Max height is achieved at the left corner.

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
mask2d_cove(h=10,mask_angle=145,flat_top=true);

Example 6: 2D Cove Mask for obtuse angle, specified by height with bulge parameter. Another way to fix the problem of the previous example: the max height is again achieved at the left corner.

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
mask2d_cove(h=10,mask_angle=145, bulge=3, $fn=128);

Example 7: 2D Cove Mask for acute angle with quarter_round enabled

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
mask2d_cove(r=10,mask_angle=55,quarter_round=true);

Example 8: 2D Cove Mask for obtuse angle, specified by height. Note that flat_top is on by default in quarter_round mode.

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
mask2d_cove(r=10,mask_angle=145,quarter_round=true);

Example 9: Increasing the Excess

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
mask2d_cove(r=10,inset=3,mask_angle=75, excess=2);

Example 10: Masking by Edge Attachment

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
diff()
cube([50,60,70],center=true)
    edge_profile([TOP,"Z"],except=[BACK,TOP+LEFT])
        mask2d_cove(h=10, inset=3);

Example 11: Making an interior rounded shelf

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
%render() difference() {
    move(-[5,0,5]) cube(30, anchor=BOT+LEFT);
    cube(310, anchor=BOT+LEFT);
}
xrot(90)
    linear_extrude(height=30, center=true)
        mask2d_cove(r=5, inset=5);

Example 12: A cove on top of an extreme prismoid top by setting height and using flat_top mode. This creates long flat tops sections at obtuse angles.

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
diff()
prismoid([50,60], [20,30], h=20, shift=[25,16])
    edge_profile(TOP, excess=20)
        mask2d_cove(h=5, inset=0, mask_angle=$edge_angle, flat_top=true, $fn=128);

Example 13: Cove on an extreme prismoid top by setting height and bulge. Obtuse angles have long curved sections.

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
diff()
prismoid([50,60], [20,30], h=20, shift=[25,16])
    edge_profile(TOP, excess=20)
        mask2d_cove(h=5, inset=0, mask_angle=$edge_angle, bulge=1, $fn=128);

Example 14: Rounding an extreme prismoid top using quarter_round. Another way to handle this situation.

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
diff()
prismoid([50,60], [20,30], h=20, shift=[25,16])
    edge_profile(TOP, excess=20)

Description:

Creates a 2D chamfer mask shape that is useful for extruding into a 3D mask for an edge. Conversely, you can use that same extruded shape to make an interior chamfer between two walls. As a 2D mask, this is designed to be differenced away from the edge of a shape that with its corner at the origin and one edge on the X+ axis and the other mask_angle degrees counterclockwise from the X+ axis. If called as a function, returns a 2D path of the outline of the mask shape. The edge parameter specifies the length of the chamfer's slanted edge. The x parameter specifies the width. The y parameter specfies the length of the non-horizontal arm of the chamfer. The height specifies the height of the chamfer independent of angle. You can specify any combination of parameters that determines a chamfer geometry.

Example 1: 2D Dovetail Mask

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
mask2d_dovetail(width=10,angle=14);

Example 2: 2D Dovetail Mask by height and slope. A slope of 1/6 is a common choice.

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
mask2d_dovetail(height=20, slope=1/6);

Example 3: 2D Inset Dovetail Mask to make the dovetail wider

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
mask2d_dovetail(width=5, angle=12, inset=[4,0]);

Example 4: 2D Inset Dovetail Mask on an obtuse angle

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
mask2d_dovetail(width=5, mask_angle=110, angle=12);

Example 5: 2D Inset Dovetail Mask on an acute angle will generally require an inset in order to fit.

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
mask2d_dovetail(width=5, mask_angle=70, angle=12, inset=[6,0]);

Example 6: 2D dovetail mask by edge length and angle

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
mask2d_dovetail(edge=10,width=4);

Example 7: 2D dovetail mask by width and height

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
mask2d_dovetail(width=5,height=25);

Example 8: Masking by Edge Attachment

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
diff()
cube([50,60,70],center=true)
    edge_profile([TOP,"Z"],except=[BACK,TOP+LEFT])
        mask2d_dovetail(width=10, angle=30, inset=2);

Example 9: Making an interior dovetail

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
%render() difference() {
    move(-[5,0,5]) cube(30, anchor=BOT+LEFT);
    cube(310, anchor=BOT+LEFT);
}
xrot(90)
    linear_extrude(height=30, center=true)
        mask2d_dovetail(width=10,angle=30);

Synopsis: Creates a 2D ogee mask shape. ^{[Geom] [Path]}

Topics: Shapes (2D), Paths (2D), Path Generators, Attachable, Masks (2D)

See Also: corner_profile(), edge_profile(), face_profile()

Usage: As Module

• mask2d_ogee(pattern, [excess], ...) [ATTAHCMENTS];

Usage: As Function

• path = mask2d_ogee(pattern, [excess], ...);

Description:

Creates a 2D Ogee mask shape that is useful for extruding into a 3D mask for a 90° edge. Conversely, you can use that same extruded shape to make an interior ogee decoration between two walls at a 90º angle. As a 2D mask, this is designed to be differenced away from the edge of a shape that with its corner at the origin and one edge on the X+ axis and the other mask_angle degrees counterclockwise from the X+ axis. Since there are a number of shapes that fall under the name ogee, the shape of this mask is given as a pattern. Patterns are given as TYPE, VALUE pairs. ie: ["fillet",10, "xstep",2, "step",[5,5], ...]. See Patterns below. If called as a function, returns a 2D path of the outline of the mask shape.

Side Effects:

• Tags the children with "remove" (and hence sets $tag) if no tag is already set.

Example 1: 2D Ogee Mask

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
mask2d_ogee([
    "xstep",1,  "ystep",1,  // Starting shoulder.
    "fillet",5, "round",5,  // S-curve.
    "ystep",1,  "xstep",1   // Ending shoulder.
]);

Example 2: Masking by Edge Attachment

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
diff()
cube([50,60,70],center=true)
    edge_profile(TOP)
        mask2d_ogee([
            "xstep",1,  "ystep",1,  // Starting shoulder.
            "fillet",5, "round",5,  // S-curve.
            "ystep",1,  "xstep",1   // Ending shoulder.
        ]);

Example 3: Making an interior ogee

include <BOSL2/std.scad>
%render() difference() {
    move(-[5,0,5]) cube(30, anchor=BOT+LEFT);
    cube(310, anchor=BOT+LEFT);
}
xrot(90)
    linear_extrude(height=30, center=true)
        mask2d_ogee([
            "xstep", 1, "round",5,
            "ystep",1, "fillet",5,
            "xstep", 1, "ystep", 1,
