Starting a bit late, as always, but here is #SCADvent again.
The #OpenSCAD advent calendar is different this time, it's the "Tutorial Edition". We'll try to bring 15 lessons starting at the very basics but hopefully also showing some interesting things later.
In between there will be some fun designs so for even for people not interested in the tutorial there is something nice to find.
Day 1 of #SCADvent is a simple christmas tree created using a little bit of math.

Starting with nightly build 2024.09.28, the Manifold geometry backend is no longer experimental: It’s now possible to choose between the two geometry backends in Preferences->Advanced->3D Rendering->Backend.
For cmd-line usage: openscad --backend=manifold
CGAL is (for the time being) still the default backend.
Thanks to [@ochafik](https://fosstodon.org/@ochafik ) for spearheading this, and to the Manifold team for being very supportive and engaging actively with the OpenSCAD community!
