Description

A method that bends arbitrary objects in OpenSCAD.

This works by slicing the model to bend up into 2D objects, and then rotate_extrude'ing them into 3D-Space again.

This is more a proof of concept than a working thing, doing all these operations is suuuper slooow in OpenSCAD since OpenSCAD is only using one CPU core and for other reasons.

Use at your own risk. At a certain amount of slices OpenSCAD stops working.
