Every time I sit down to do anything non-trivial in OpenSCAD, I wonder if there isn't some better way of representing things --- I'd like for there to to be something better, but usually the solution to any problem put forth on the OpenSCAD mailing list is: "learn this bit of math and apply it thusly". That said, I gave up on all this and have switched over to just modeling toolpaths: https://github.com/WillAdams/gcodepreview that way, I'm certain that whatever is modeled can actually be made, and I'm also certain that the modeling is not limited by arbitrary things. I've got an idea for a woodworking joint which I haven't been able to model so as to cut out in any other program, and I'm hoping this will let me finally manage it. I've been using OpenSCAD Graph Editor (OSGE) as a front-end: https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor

OpenSCAD Graph Editor: https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor I'm really fond of visual programming tools such as node editors and Blockly, so this really appeals to me. This was just announced on Reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/openscad/comments/wf33tf/i_have_cre... w/ releases for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows: https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor/releases/ta... It's already been updated once since announcement, and the manual seems really good: https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor/blob/master... It seems a really promising tool, and the discussion on the Discord was quite enlightening. https://discord.com/invite/AsxWyczCJF It supports all of OpenSCAD, and is extensible and able to use existing text/coded modules (BOSL-2 is cited as an example), and seems really promising --- I'm going to try porting: h

That brings me to a question --- is there

I believe I can address the first two points for you: > Scalable text support a la TextMeshPro (sdf-based rendering) Someone in our Discord recently found a way to scale their project UI correctly according to screen DPI, not sure if that solves your problem or not. Their project is also open source: https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor > - the in-editor console is horrible. it frequently tells me "output overflow, print less text!". wtf? That can be solved by upping the debugger output limit in your project. (https://github.com/chickensoft-games/go_dot_test/blob/1fb342...)
