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);
