openscad exports 2d dxf only, but if you draw a profile of each
component, then you can export the parts, no problem. fwiw a few months
ago, I did a parametric folding table with a cutting list. I've posted
it below, it may give you an idea of printing out dimensions. (It could
all be done in 2d, but just view it straight down the z axis, and do do
a screen print (although it is possible to extract just the echo
statements into a text file, that is why I've included them).
