I also started updating my OpenSCAD skills.
My latest creation is a simple flower pot.
The whole file on GitHub is here.
Some notes:
1) module -- this seems to be what I, as a programmer, would normal call a function. In the context of OpenSCAD they are modules. Not sure why the change in syntax, it's just something to remember.
2) for loops -- another new thing thing that I have learned, and an immensely useful one in this context.
3) hull() -- this is what I used to achieve the rounded edges. I'm not sure I grok it completely, but it is certainly another useful tool. Here is the article that led me to it.
4) GitHub has a great STL Viewer. The rendered object is here.
5) Oooh, and one more. The MCAD libraries are full of good stuff.
use <MCAD/--filename-->To include them in a normal scad file.
