What I've done so far: The program already has a font variable, but Ness is not part of the preexisting font library. I downloaded Ness as a TrueType font and while it works in MS Word and shows up properly in my computer's font library, I can't figure out how to get it into OpenSCAD's font library. I have restarted OpenSCAD and my computer and tried lines of code from _know_how_to_add_a_font_to_openscad/, @alanzheng/cjk-font-in-openscad, and _User_Manual/Text#:%7E:text=The%20font%20list%20dialog%20(available,in%20the%20text()%20statement.

Hi Julian, thank you for your post!
I am the author of this PR and i am still developping for it and pushing hard to get this PR into openscad.
Until this becomes true, you test all python-enabled openscad in my site at

Hey, I had to make a number of tweaks to the openscad import script I found ( -openscad-import/blob/master/importscad.py ) in order for it to work, so I though I would share my changes here.
-openscad-import here is the repaired file.

If you install OpenSCAD to the default location for you system, the extension should automatically detect it. If not, you will need to set the openscad.launchPath configuration option in Settings > Extensions > OpenSCAD > Launch Path or by adding the following line to your settings.json file:

Thanks for the feedback, it sounds like openscad is not bug laden, just nuanced in its usage and maybe not obvious? Why would you prefer Fusion360 for CNC specifically, I am also very interested in CNC esp with the rotary module.

Use freecad. It has an OpenSCAD panel or workspace. You instantly add an openscad file or write one. If you then need to do other things you export or can switch to another work pane. I love fusion but use onshape where possible (public designs).

I love openscad but smoke too much to remember the math i need so just reuse other peoples examples and edit to purpose. Its mostly about being thoughtful with prebuilt volumes, e.g. make a cylinder, x y z, then cut a cube out one edge, etc and by using parameters and reusable functions then designs are very flexible and quick to adjust. The magpi magazine had some good tutorials and issues are free as pdf. I actually tried asking chatGPT to write some openscad for a Car jack stand, it did it and looked okay rendered when pasted in freecad along with having everything parameterised.

Thanks to everyone for the replies, my original goal was the all clear on the openscad and it sounds like I wont be frustrated by pursuing it. I think the rest is great next steps, except for ChatGPT which is just to disturbing !
