An OpenSCAD screw library for screws that are especially
optimized for the limitations of the FDM printing process.

(alternative name: "flatscrew library")
Highly suggested is printing the screws sideways with parts of the screws chopped off (library supported). Tensile loads on the screws is now parallel to the printing layers.
This:
★ gives much stronger screws
★ allows printing without support
★ allows printing without retraction
★ (allows for fast printing with the default profiles)
Among the supported profiles are soft ones for fast printhead-jerk-less printability.
★ default is osculating quadratic
★ also very good is sinusoidal
★ there are a few more profiles available
Known problems:
Unfortunately the currently implemented triangulation method does not allow for
proper sawtooth, rectangular and steep trapezoidal profiles.
The triangulation scheme needs to be switched out for such steeper profiles.
