Flush Graphic Option
- If you are having strange artifacts in the graphic make sure the “force flush fix” variable is set to true.
- If you don't want to use “force flush fix” you can get a more accurate model by the script locally in the dev snapshot version of OpenSCAD, using the settings below. Additionally this script requires the BOSL2 library to be added to OpenSCAD's available libraries.
