### naca (or any airfoil) parametric bulb with Openscad.
Perfect for 3d printed (lead casting) rc sailboat bulb.
Thingiverse is missing archive or directory upload - not appropriate for openSCAD.
Please take the complete source from my GITHUB:
Complete source code. Code > Download ZIP.
This project manages:
* symmetric / asymmetric airfoil profile.
* complex/custom section - included circle, ellipse, flatten ellipse, round square, trapeze.
* beaver tail.
* split rendering
How-to:
* Download
Github ZIP archive
* Install
OpenSCAD
* Decompress the archive
* Run openSCAD on bulb.scad
* Edit bulb.scad and tweak the header to fit your needs (documentation in the code)
Add new airfoil:
* You have complete "ready to use" scad files on my github
Airfoil database
* Choose one and move it to the directory "airfoil"
* Open the scad file to copy the header (copy/paste part) - 4 lines.
* Open the bulb.scad to paste the header, replace the previous airfoil with yours.
To reach the right weight:
* generate the STL file
* get the associated volume in cm3 (DuckDuckGo: "stl volume calculator")
* compute your material volume to weight (i.e. lead weight grams per cubic cm: 11.342)
* fine tune the scale factor or the form
