Show HN: Browser CAD for stock-tube structures with generated 3D-printed joints(Submitting as TrussLab's UI designer - my husband Jan built the editor and wrote the text below; he's answering questions in the thread as janherich.)The linked demo opens TrussLab with a deliberately simple triangle frame and walks through its construction in real time, with narration. You can sit back and watch, orbit around the model without interrupting autoplay, pause or resume the build, or take over at any point and edit it yourself.TrussLab grew out of my earlier work on SpaceDelta3D large-format delta printers and ultralight SpaceDrone quadcopter frames. At that time, the tooling was just a collection of Clojure scripts that I interacted with from a REPL to generate OpenSCAD models. The underlying idea is simple: use straight-cut tubes or rods made from metal, composites, or even wood for the long members carrying tension and compression, and 3D-print only the geometrically complex joints. Keeping the printed parts small reduces print time, failure risk, warping, and the cost
Ask HN: How do you model temporarily invalid data structuresSay you’re making a chess game. A valid board only has one piece per square, or zero. But, you have an algo that generates boards by moving pieces around and during that algo you may move a piece on top of another and then later decide to move one of them to get back to valid.Do you try to use some existing Board type and just avoid in your algo those invalid states (like by using a stack or some data structure to avoid iteratively moving pieces one at a time).Do you have a separate InvalidBoard type that allows multiple pieces per square?I think it’s context dependent but I’m curious how you’ve seen this handled in different ways.
