// Functions and modules for creating metric (ISO) and English (UTS) standard screws and nuts.
// Included is a function for calculating the standard dimensions of screws including the
// tolerance values that are required to make screws mate properly when they are formed
// precisely. If you can fabricate objects accurately then the modeled screws will mate
// with standard hardware without the need to introduce extra gaps for clearance.
// Includes:
// include <BOSL2/std.scad>
// include <BOSL2/screws.scad>
// FileGroup: Threaded Parts
// FileSummary: ISO (metric) and UTS screws and nuts.
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

include <threading.scad>
include <screw_drive.scad>
// Section: Screw and Nut Parameters
// This modules in this file create standard ISO (metric) and UTS (English) threaded screws.
// The {{screw()}} and {{nut()}} modules produce
// screws and nuts that comply with the relevant ISO and ASME standards,
// including tolerances for screw fit. You can also create screws with
// various head types and drive types that should match standard hardware.
// Subsection: Screw Naming
// You can specify screws using a string that specifies the screw.
// Metric or ISO screws are specified by a diameter in millimeters and a thread pitch in millimeters. For example,
// an M8x2 screw has a nominal diameter of 8 mm and a thread pitch of 2 mm.
// The screw specification for these screws has the form: "M`<size>`x`<pitch>`,`<length>`,
// so "M6x1,10" specifies a 6mm diameter screw with a thread pitch of 1mm and length of 10mm.
// You can omit the pitch or length, e.g. "M6x1", or "M6,10", or just "M6". If you omit the
// length then you must provide the `length` parameter. If you omit the pitch, the library
// provides a standard pitch for the specified diameter.
// .
// Imperial or UTS screws are specified by a diameter and the number of threads per inch.
// For large screws, the diameter is simply the nominal diameter in inches, so a 5/16-18 screw
// has a nominal diameter of 5/16 inches and 18 threads per inch. For diameters smaller than
// 1/4 inch, the screw diameter is given using a screw gauge, which can be from 0 up to 12.
// A common smaller size is #8-32, an 8 gauge screw with 32 threads per inch.
// For UTS screws the specification has the form `<size>`-`<threadcount>`,`<length>`, e.g.
// "#8-32,1/2", or "1/4-20,1". The units are in inches, including the length. Size can be a
// gauge number from 0 to 12 with or without a leading # to specify a screw gauge size, or any other
// value to specify a diameter in inches, either as a float or a fraction, so "0.5-13" and
// "1/2-13" are equivalent. To force interpretation of the value as inches add '' (two
// single-quotes) to the end, e.g. "1''-4" is a one inch screw and "1-80" is a very small
// 1-gauge screw. The pitch is specified using a thread count, the number of threads per inch.
// As with the ISO screws, you can omit the pitch or length and specify "#6-32", "#6,3/4", or simply #6.
// As in the metric case, if you omit the length then you must provide the `length` parameter. If you omit the pitch, the
// library provides a standard pitch for the specified diameter.
// Subsection: Standard Screw Pitch
// If you omit the pitch when specifying a screw or nut then the library supplies a standard screw pitch based
// on the screw diameter as listed in ISO 724 or ASME B1.1. For many diameters, multiple standard pitches exist.
// The available thread pitch types are different for ISO and UTS:
// .
// | ISO | UTS |
// | -------- | -------- |
// | "coarse" | "coarse" or "UNC" |
// | "fine" | "fine" or "UNF" |
// | "extrafine" or "extra fine" | "extrafine", "extra fine", or "UNEF" |
// | "superfine" or "super fine" | |
// | "none" | "none" |
// .
// The default pitch selection is "coarse". Note that this selection is case insensitive.
// To set the pitch using these pitch strings you use the `thread=` argument to the modules.
// You cannot incorporate a named pitch into the thread name. The finer pitch categories
// are defined only for larger screw diameters. You can also use the `thread=` argument to
// directly specify a pitch, so `thread=2` produces a thread pitch of 2mm. Setting the
// pitch to zero produces an unthreaded screws, the same as setting it to "none". Specifying
// a numeric value this way overrides a value given in the specification. You can also set
// `thread=true` or `thread=false` to turn threading on and off, with the same default coarse
// threading when you set it to true.
// Subsection: Screw Heads
// By default screws do not have heads.
// You can request a screw head using `head=` parameter to specify the desired head type. If you want the
// head to have a recess for driving the screw you must also specify a drive type using `drive=`.
// The table below lists the head options. Only some combinations of head and drive
// type are supported. Different sized flat heads exist for the same screw type.
// Sometimes this depends on the type of recess. If you specify "flat" then the size will be chosen
// appropriately for the recess you specify.
// .
// The `drive=` argument can be set to "none", "hex", "slot",
// "phillips", "ph0" to "ph4" (for phillips of the specified size), "torx" or
// "t<size>" (for Torx at a specified size, e.g. "t20"). If you have no head but still
// give a drive type you will get a set screw. The table below lists all of the head types and
// shows which drive type is compatible with each head types. Different head types work in ISO and UTS,
// as marked in the first column.
// .
// |ISO|UTS|Head | Drive |
// |---|---|--------------- | ----------------------------|
// |X|X|"none" | hex, torx, slot |
// |X|X|"hex" | *none*|
// |X|X|"socket" | hex, torx|
// |X|X|"button" | hex, torx|
// |X|X|"flat" | slot, phillips, hex, torx|
// |X|X|"flat sharp" | slot, phillips, hex, torx|
// | |X|"flat small" | slot, phillips|
// | |X|"flat large" | hex, torx |
// | |X|"flat undercut" | slot, phillips |
// | |X|"flat 82" | slot, phillips |
// | |X|"flat 100" | slot, phillips |
// | |X|"round" | slot, phillips |
// | |X|"fillister" | slot, phillips |
// |X|X|"pan" | slot, phillips, torx (ISO only) |
// |X| |"cheese" | slot, phillips, torx |
// .
// The drive size is specified appropriately for the drive type: drive number for phillips or torx,
// and recess width in mm or inches (as appropriate) for hex. Drive size is determined automatically
// from the screw size, but by passing the `drive_size=` argument you can override the default, or
// in cases where no default exists you can specify it. Flat head screws have variations such as 100 degree
// angle for UTS, or undercut heads. You can also request a "sharp" screw which will set the screw diameter
// the theoretical maximum and produce sharp corners instead of a flat edge on the head. For a flat head screw
// the drive specification must start with "flat", but the flat head options
// can be mixed in any order, for example, "flat sharp undercut" or "flat undercut sharp".
// Subsection: Nuts
// Nuts come in standard sizes and BOSL2 has tables to produce sizes for both Imperial and metric nuts.
// A nut for a given thread size is defined by its shape, width and thickness. The shape is either "hex"
// for hexagonal nuts or "square" for square nuts. For hexagonal Imperial nuts, you can choose from thickness values
// of "thin", "normal" or "thick", but the thin and thick nuts are defined only for thread sizes of 1/4 inch and above.
// .
// Metric nut standards are more complicated because ISO has a series of standards and DIN has a series of conflicting
// standards. Nuts from McMaster-Carr in the USA comply with DIN rather than ISO. Furthermore, ISO does not appear
// to specify dimensions for square nuts. For metric nuts you can specify "thin", "normal" and "thick" and the
// nut will be constructed to ISO standards (ISO 4035, ISO 4032, and ISO 4033 respectively). The DIN standard for thin
// nuts matches ISO, but the DIN normal thickness nuts are thinner than ISO nuts. You can request DIN nuts
// by specifying a thickness of "DIN" or "undersized". If you request a square nut it necessariliy derives from DIN
// instead of ISO. For most nut sizes, the nut widths match between ISO and DIN, but they do differ for M10, M12, M14 and M22.
// .
// You can of course specify nuts by giving an explicit numerical width and thickness in millimeters.
// Subsection: Tolerance
// Without tolerance requirements, screws would not fit together. The screw standards specify a
// nominal size, but the tolerance determines a range of allowed sizes based on that nominal size.
// So for example, an M10 screw with the default tolerance has an outside (major) diameter between 9.74 mm and 9.97 mm.
// The library will use the center point in the allowed range and create a screw with a diameter of 9.86 mm.
// A M10 nut at the default tolerance has a major diameter (which is the inside diameter) between 10 mm and 10.4 mm.
// Shrinking the major diameter of a screw makes the screw loose. Shrinking the major diameter of a nut, on the other hand,
// makes the hole smaller and hence makes the nut tighter. For this reason, we need a difference tolerance
// for a screw than for a nut. Screw tolerances shrink the diameter to make the screw looser whereas nut tolerances
// increase the diameter to make the nut looser. Screws modeled using this library will have dimensions consistent with the
// standards they are based on, so that they will interface properly if fabricated by an accurate method. The ISO and UTS
// systems use different tolerance designations.
// .
// For UTS screw threads the tolerance is one of "1A", "2A" or "3A", in
// order of increasing tightness. The default tolerance is "2A", which
// is the general standard for manufactured bolts.
// .
// For UTS nut threads, the tolerance is one of "1B", "2B" or "3B", in
// order of increasing tightness. The default tolerance is "2B", which
// is the general standard for manufactured nuts.
// .
// The ISO tolerances are more complicated. For both screws and nuts the ISO tolerance has the form of a number
// and letter. The letter specifies the "fundamental deviation", also called the "tolerance position", the gap
// from the nominal size. The number specifies the allowed range (variability) of the thread heights. For
// screws, the letter must be "e", "f", "g", or "h", where "e" is the loosest and "h" means no gap. The number
// for a screw tolerance must be a value from 3-9 for crest diameter and one of 4, 6, or 8 for pitch diameter.
// A tolerance "6g" specifies both pitch and crest diameter to be the same, but they can be different, with a
// tolerance like "5g6g" specifies a pitch diameter tolerance of "5g" and a crest diameter tolerance of "6g".
// Smaller numbers give a tighter tolerance. The default ISO screw tolerance is "6g".
// .
// For ISO nuts the letters specifying the fundamental deviation are upper case and must be "G" or "H" where "G"
// is loose and "H" means no gap. The number specifying the variability must range from 4-8. An allowed (loose)
// nut tolerance is "7G". The default ISO tolerance is "6H".
// .
// Clearance holes have a different tolerance system, described in {{screw_hole()}}.
// .
// If you wish to create screws at the nominal size you can set the tolerance to 0 or "none".
// Subsection: screw_info and nut_info structures
// When you make a screw or nut, information about the object such as the thread characteristics
// head and drive size, or nut thickness are placed into a data structure. The screw and nut
// modules can accept screw names, as described above, or they can accept screw structures.
// When you use a screw structure as a specification, computed values like head type and size and
// driver characteristics are fixed and cannot be changed, but values that are not computed
// like length can still be altered. If you want to create an unusual part you can hand
// generate the structure with your desired parameters to fill in values that would normally
// be produced automatically from the standard tables. So if your hardware is missing from the
// tables, or is sized differently, you can still create the part. For details on the
// screw_info and nut_info structures, see {{screw_info()}} and {{nut_info()}}.
// .
// All of the screw related modules set the variable `$screw_spec` to contain the specification
// for their screw. This means that child modules can make use of this variable to create
// mating (or identical) parts. Note that the `shaft_oversize` and `head_oversize` screw
// info fields are only inherited into modules that are the same as the parent module.
// This means that if you create an oversized screw hole and then make a screw as s child, the
// child screw will **not** inherit the oversize parameters. But a screw_hole will inherit
// oversize parameters from a parent screw_hole.

// Section: Making Screws
// Module: screw()
// Synopsis: Creates a standard screw with optional tolerances.
// SynTags: Geom
// Topics: Threading, Screws
// See Also: screw_hole(), shoulder_screw()
// Usage:
// screw([spec], [head], [drive], [thread=], [drive_size=], [length=|l=], [thread_len=], [undersize=], [shaft_undersize=], [head_undersize=], [tolerance=], [blunt_start=], [details=], [anchor=], [atype=], [orient=], [spin=]) [ATTACHMENTS];
// Description:
// Create a screw. See [screw and nut parameters](#section-screw-and-nut-parameters) for details on
// the parameters that define a screw. The tolerance determines the dimensions of the screw based
// on ISO and ASME standards. Screws fabricated at those dimensions will mate properly with
// standard hardware. Note that the $slop argument does not affect the size of screws: it only
// adjusts screw holes. This will work fine if you are printing both parts, but if you need to mate
// printed screws to metal parts you may need to adjust the size of the screws, which you can do
// with the undersize arguments.
// .
// You can generate a screw specification from {{screw_info()}}, possibly create a modified version
// using {{struct_set()}}, and pass that in rather than giving the parameters.
// .
// Various anchor types refer to different parts of the screw, some of which are labeled below. The
// "screw" anchor type (the default) is simply the entire screw, so TOP and BOTTOM refer to the head
// end and tip respectively, and CENTER is the midpoint of the whole screw, including the head. The
// "head" anchor refers to the head alone. Both of these anchor types refer to the bounding
// cylinder for the specified screw part, except for hex heads, which anchor to a hexagonal prism.

// Module: screw_hole()
// Synopsis: Creates a screw hole.
// SynTags: Geom
// Topics: Threading, Screws
// See Also: screw()
// Usage:
// screw_hole([spec], [head], [thread=], [length=|l=], [oversize=], [hole_oversize=], [teardrop=], [head_oversize], [tolerance=], [$slop=], [blunt_start=], [anchor=], [atype=], [orient=], [spin=]) [ATTACHMENTS];
// Description:
// Create a screw hole mask. See [screw and nut parameters](#section-screw-and-nut-parameters) for details on the parameters that define a screw.
// The screw hole can be threaded to receive a screw or it can be an unthreaded clearance hole.
// The tolerance determines the dimensions of the screw
// based on ISO and ASME standards. Screws fabricated at those dimensions will mate properly with standard hardware.
// The $slop argument makes the hole larger by 4*$slop to account for printing overextrusion. It defaults to 0.
// .
// You can generate a screw specification from {{screw_info()}}, possibly create a modified version, and pass that in rather than giving the parameters.
// .
// The tolerance should be a nut tolerance for a threaded hole or a clearance hole tolerance for clearance holes.
// For clearance holes, the UTS tolerances are "normal", "loose" and "close". ASME also specifies the same naming for metric clearance holes.
// However, ISO gives "fine", "medium" and "coarse" instead. This function accepts all of these in either system. It also takes "tight" to be equivalent to "close",
// even though no standard suggests it, because it's a natural opposite of "loose". The official tolerance designations for ISO are "H12" for "fine", "H13" for "medium"
// and "H14" for "coarse". These designations will also work, but only for metric holes. You can also set tolerance to 0 or "none" to produce holes at the nominal size.
// .
// If you want to produce holes for tapping you can use a tolerance of "tap". This produces a hole of the nominal screw diameter reduced by the thread pitch. You may still
// need to adjust $slop for best results. Some people screw machine screws directly into plastic without tapping. This works better with a somewhat larger hole, so
// a tolerance of "self tap" produces such a hole. Note that this tolerance also makes the default bevel2=true to bevel the top, which makes it much easier
// to start the screw. The "self tap" tolerance subtracts `0.72 * pitch` when pitch is below 1mm, `0.6 * pitch` when the pitch is over 1.5mm, and it interpolates between.
// It was tested in PLA with a Prusa MK3S and $slop=0.05 and worked on UTS screws from #2 up to 1/2 inch.
// .
// The counterbore parameter adds a cylindrical clearance hole above the screw shaft. For flat heads it extends above the flathead and for other screw types it
// replaces the head with a cylinder large enough in diameter for the head to fit. For a flat head you must specify the length of the counterbore. For other heads you can
// set counterbore to true and it will be sized to match the head height. The counterbore will extend 0.01 above the TOP of the hole mask to ensure no
// problems with differences. Note that the counterbore defaults to true for non-flathead screws. If you want the actual head shape to appear, set counterbore to zero.
// .
// For 3d printing circular holes can be problematic. One solution is to use octagonal holes, setting $fn=8. Another option is to use a teardrop hole, which
// can be accomplished by setting `teardrop=true`. The point of the teardrop will point in the Y direction (BACK) so you will need to ensure that you orient it
// correctly in your final model.
// .
// Anchoring for screw_hole() is the same as anchoring for {{screw()}}, with all the same anchor types and named anchors. If you specify a counterbore it is treated as
// the "head", or in the case of flat heads, it becomes part of the head. If you make a teardrop hole the point is ignored for purposes of anchoring.
// Arguments:
// spec = screw specification, e.g. "M5x1" or "#8-32". See [screw naming](#subsection-screw-naming). This can also be a screw specification structure of the form produced by {{screw_info()}}.
// head = head type. See [screw heads](#subsection-screw-heads) Default: none
// ---
// thread = thread type or specification for threaded masks, true to make a threaded mask with the standard threads, or false to make an unthreaded mask. See [screw pitch](#subsection-standard-screw-pitch). Default: false
// teardrop = if true produce teardrop hole. Only compatible with clearance holes, not threaded. Default: false
// oversize = amount to increase diameter of the screw hole (hole and countersink). A scalar or length 2 vector. Default: use computed tolerance
// hole_oversize = amount to increase diameter of the hole. Overrides the use of tolerance and replaces any settings given in the screw specification.
// head_oversize = amount to increase diameter of head. Overrides the user of tolerance and replaces any settings given in the screw specification.
// length / l= length of screw (in mm)
// counterbore = set to length of counterbore, or true to make a counterbore equal to head height. Default: false for flat heads and headless, true otherwise
// tolerance = threading or clearance hole tolerance. For internal threads, detrmines actual thread geometry based on nominal sizing. See [tolerance](#subsection-tolerance). Default is "2B" for UTS and 6H for ISO. For clearance holes, determines how much clearance to add. Default is "normal".
// bevel = if true create bevel at both ends of hole. Default: see below
// bevel1 = if true create bevel at bottom end of hole. Default: false
// bevel2 = if true create bevel at top end of hole. Default: true when tolerance="self tap", false otherwise
// blunt_start = if true and hole is threaded, create blunt start threads. Default: true
// blunt_start1 = if true and hole is threaded, create blunt start threads at bottom end.
// blunt_start2 = if true and hole is threaded, create blunt start threads top end.
// $slop = add extra gap to account for printer overextrusion. Default: 0
// atype = anchor type, one of "screw", "head", "shaft", "threads", "shank"
// anchor = Translate so anchor point on the shaft is at origin (0,0,0). See [anchor](attachments.scad#subsection-anchor). Default: `CENTER`
// spin = Rotate this many degrees around the Z axis after anchor. See [spin](attachments.scad#subsection-spin). Default: `0`
// orient = Vector to rotate top towards, after spin. See [orient](attachments.scad#subsection-orient). Default: `UP`
// Side Effects:
// `$screw_spec` is set to the spec specification structure.
// Anchor Types:
// screw = the entire screw (default)
// head = screw head (invalid for headless screws)
// shaft = screw shaft
// shank = unthreaded section of shaft (invalid if screw is fully threaded)
// threads = threaded section of screw
// Extra Anchors:
// top = top of screw
// bot = bottom of screw
// center = center of screw
// head_top = top of head (invalid for headless screws)
// head_bot = bottom of head (invalid for headless screws)
// head_center = center of head (invalid for headless screws)
// shaft_top = top of shaft
// shaft_bot = bottom of shaft
// shaft_center = center of shaft
// shank_top = top of shank (invalid if screw is fully threaded)
// shank_bot = bottom of shank (invalid if screw is fully threaded)
// shank_center = center of shank (invalid if screw is fully threaded)
// threads_top = top of threaded portion of screw (invalid if thread_len=0)
