Slot

An oblong “pill” or slot shape: two semicircles connected by straight segments. Defined by total length (along the long axis) and width (diameter of the rounded ends).

Parameters

length (mm)
Total length along the long axis (including the rounded ends).
width (mm)
Diameter of the semicircular ends; also the height of the slot.

How it works

Slot produces a closed 2D path, useful for keyhole shapes, slots, or pill-shaped outlines. Combine with Spiral Up or Stack Layers for 3D prints. When length equals width, the shape is a circle.
