review openscad designs

[amchagas]

The OpenScad designs all work and the prints coming out look nice.

It would be nice to review them so that they are:

• parametric - so we should remove the hard coded numbers and make them relative to variables. One example would be in the gate.scad file, where the numbers should be based on the diameter of the tube the printed part fits on.
• all licensed under CC BY SA 4.0. Also exemplified by gate.scad file

Useful information for this task:
The thickness of the some of the walls were thought out so that the parts slide/fit into makerbeam profiles. Specifically on their XL version https://www.makerbeam.com/brands/makerbeamxl-15x15mm-aluminum-profile/

Hi @amchagas ,

I checked the scad files and it seems that I have some problems with gate.scad file (see screenshot)

I am not sure what is causing it but there are 8 warnings and the rendering seems to be off. All other files are fine though

Hi @amchagas , so I tinkered with it a bit more and now it is fine

Seems that I had to put cylinders, that are being cut out, a bit lower and make them longer.

In terms of parametric values, I see that all files but gate.scad are parametric. Is that so?

thanks for looking into this!
Yes, I think only gates.scad is not parametric. At the same time, if there is something obivous in the other files that could be simplified, we should try to do it (but I am not sure that will be the case)

Hi @amchagas , parametrised gate.scad and uploaded it.
