Internal	use <agentscad/snap-joint.scad> $fn=100; // Simple internal part // with default values joint = newSnapCircleInt (); snapJoint(joint);
External	// Same with external part // copy of internal one joint = newSnapCircleInt (); snapJoint(joint); joint_e = newSnapCircleExt ( source=joint ); snapJoint(joint_e);
Gap	// Change gap between int and ext // with $gap $gap = 1; joint = newSnapCircleInt (); snapJoint(joint); joint_e = newSnapCircleExt ( source=joint ); snapJoint(joint_e);
Springs	// Activates springs on internal part // Defaults to 5 leaves joint = newSnapCircleInt ( springs=true ); snapJoint(joint); joint_e = newSnapCircleExt ( source=joint ); snapJoint(joint_e);
Polygon	// Makes a polygonal joint // Defaults to 5 edges/leaves joint = newSnapPolygonInt(springs=true); snapJoint(joint); joint_e = newSnapPolygonExt(source=joint); snapJoint(joint_e);
Polygon 4	// Makes a polygonal joint // Forces 4 edges/leaves joint = newSnapPolygonInt ( leaves=4, springs=true ); snapJoint(joint); joint_e = newSnapPolygonExt(source=joint); snapJoint(joint_e);
One Time Joint	// Activates springs on external // part which makes a one time // joint (cannot be removed) joint = newSnapCircleInt (); snapJoint(joint); joint_e = newSnapCircleExt ( source=joint, springs=true ); snapJoint(joint_e);
Height/Thickness	// Tunes joint height/thickness joint = newSnapCircleInt ( height = 10, thickness = 3, springs = true ); snapJoint(joint);
Hook	// Tunes hook height/width joint = newSnapCircleInt ( height = 10, springs = true, hook_h = 5, hook_w = 1.6 ); snapJoint(joint);
Spring w	// Tunes spring width joint = newSnapCircleInt ( height = 10, springs = true, hook_h = 5, hook_w = 1.6, spring_w = 5 ); snapJoint(joint);
Spring a	// Tunes spring inclinaison angle joint = newSnapCircleInt ( height = 10, springs = true, hook_h = 5, hook_w = 1.6, spring_w = 5, spring_a = 33 ); snapJoint(joint);
Cut	// Tunes cutter width/distance joint = newSnapCircleInt ( springs = true, cutwidth = 2, cutdistance = 7 ); snapJoint(joint);
