hole::countersinkFunction in std::hole

WARNING: This function is experimental and may change or be removed.

Cut an angled countersink at the top of the hole. Typically used when a conical screw head has to sit flush with the surface being cut into.

hole::countersink(
  diameter: number(Length),
  angle: number(Angle),
)

Arguments

NameTypeDescriptionRequired
diameternumber(Length)A number.Yes
anglenumber(Angle)A number.Yes

Examples

// `hole` module is still experimental, so enable experimental features here.
@settings(experimentalFeatures = allow)

// Model a cube
cubeLen = 20
bigCube = startSketchOn(XY)
  |> startProfile(at = [-cubeLen / 2, -cubeLen / 2 + 10])
  |> line(end = [cubeLen, 0], tag = $a)
  |> line(end = [0, cubeLen], tag = $b)
  |> line(end = [-cubeLen, 0], tag = $c)
  |> line(end = [0, -cubeLen], tag = $d)
  |> close()
  |> extrude(length = cubeLen, symmetric = true)
  |> translate(x = 5)

  // Add a hole to the cube.
// It'll have a drilled end, and a countersink (angled tip at the start).
bigCube
  |> hole::hole(
       face = a,
       cutAt = [0, 5],
       holeBottom = hole::drill(pointAngle = 110deg),
       holeBody = hole::blind(depth = 5, diameter = 8),
       holeType = hole::countersink(diameter = 14, angle = 100deg),
     )
