push_rivet

I’ll first show you the simplicity of the code with this very simple design of a push pin for the plastic inner fender for a car. The parametric nature of openSCAD allows me to return to the code and change a variable easily and with great precision.

cone_base = 14;

ring_elevation = 6;
ring_height = 4;

connector_height =10;

      rotate([0, 0 , 0]){

          difference() {

              union() { // beginning of the visible union

                  cylinder(h=cone_height, d1=cone_base, d2=cone_tip);


              };  // end of the visible union

                  translate([0, 0, ring_elevation])

          // inside column for the ring's center
