o-ringer (create your own o-rings)
Ever have trouble finding the o-ring you need for a project?
Well, with this script you can specify the size you need and either generate the o-ring itsself (for printing in flexible material) or you can generate a mold to make the o-ring out of silicone or whatever.
For more than you ever wanted to know about O-rings (including what the standard sizes are), check out:

NOTE: The accuracy and printability of the results are untested!
UPDATE:
Added version 1.1 which:
- Makes molds that actually work with "minionizing"
- Removed mold flaw in outside surface of o-ring
- Customizer settings are better without so many sliders
- Added customizer setting for resolution
- Mold key is bigger
- Code is more modularized and readable for use in other projects
