Screw Generator Script for OpenScad (Processing)

This Processing sketch generates a *.scad file containing a screw nut module that can be used in OpenScad. Just enter the parameters in the sketch file and hit run to get your screw in seconds.

The main advantage of this method before using one of the advanced screw libraries is, that the generated file renders within seconds, while the libraries take an eternity to render a screw because they use boolean math to join a large number of polyhedrons and prims together to form the screw. This script only generates one geometry with no need for boolean hours of boolean math.
