I'm looking to design a customizable storage system for small electronic components, primarily resistors. I've seen some good designs out there, but I need one that's highly parametric and allows for a lot of adjustments. I need a rack that holds drawers, and the drawers themselves need to be customizable in terms of the number of compartments.

Here's what I'm envisioning, in terms of the overall design:

*   **Rack Structure:** I need a main rack structure that's essentially a box with an open front. The dimensions of the box (width, depth, height) should all be adjustable, as well as the wall thickness. I'd like an option for a "light" version of the rack, where parts of the walls are masked out with a pattern to reduce printing material, but this should be optional. There should also be support structures built into the rack for the drawers to rest on, with small tabs to stop them from falling out completely. These supports should be separate from the rack itself so they can be turned off if I don't need them.
*   **Drawers:** The drawers should fit snugly into the rack, with clearance controlled by a parameter. The drawer's dimensions should be calculated automatically based on the rack's size and wall thickness. The drawer walls should have their own parameter for thickness and have an adjustable number of slots or "buckets" inside, splitting the drawer along its width. Finally, the drawers should have a handle, and I need control over the size of the handle. I'm envisioning something like a cylinder with a cutout.
*   **Parametric Control:** Every dimension (width, depth, height, wall thicknesses, clearances, handle size, number of slots, number of drawers, etc.) should be controlled via parameters at the top of the file.
*   **Modularity:** Ideally, I'd like to be able to generate just the rack, just a single drawer, or multiple drawers if needed without re-compiling the whole thing.

Could you generate a parametric OpenSCAD design that I can use? I’m not looking to use any external libraries like MCAD or BOSL, so please stick with OpenSCAD’s built-in functionality. I'm also not super concerned about printability of everything, but I'd appreciate any advice or considerations that come up during the design process.

Hey there, I'm looking to design a small sailboat game token for a board game, specifically something that resembles the classic 1961 Parker Brothers Yacht Race tokens. I've had trouble scaling down existing models, so I'm aiming for a simple, robust design that prints reliably.

I've already made a basic version of this, but I'd like to see a more parametric version where I can easily adjust things like the overall size, the hull shape, the mast height, and the number of sails. My current design has a few issues - it feels a bit too lightweight, and some of the sails don't look perfect.

Here's a breakdown of what I'm thinking:

*   **Hull:** A simple, stylized hull shape, basically a trapezoid or similar. I'd like parameters to control the length, width, height, and maybe even the curve of the hull sides. I'm aiming for something that's more boat-like than just a flat base.
*   **Base:** This is the lower part of the hull, just above the build platform. I want this to be a solid foundation and I want control of the height.
*   **Rudder:** A simple, non-functional representation of a rudder. It doesn't need to be articulated or anything, just a small tab at the back. Parameters for length and thickness would be great.
*   **Mast:** A simple cylinder for the mast with a conical tip. I need to control the height of the mast and the diameter of both the base and the tip.
*   **Sails:** I'd like to be able to control the number of sails, their size, and their angle relative to the mast. Something that's more like a series of overlapping planes would be great, and I'd like the ability to adjust their size and position.
*  **Weight/Density**: I'd like the ability to adjust the overall size and/or density of the part.

I'm planning on using OpenSCAD for this and I'm hoping you could generate the necessary SCAD file(s). I'm not very experienced with modularization in SCAD. I would like to see this as a single SCAD file, but I'd like the design to be organized into a meaningful collection of modules and variables. If using libraries is the best path, I'm open to using them. I am somewhat familiar with the BOSL libraries and would prefer to use them if appropriate. I don't need any support structures to be generated in the file.

Let me know if you need any more information. I'm excited to see what you come up with!

I'm looking for an OpenSCAD design that can generate customizable step pulleys. I've seen some existing models, but they're either not quite right or difficult to customize.  I'd like to be able to specify a number of parameters, and have the script generate the pulley or a series of pulleys in a stack.

Here's what I need:

*   **Pulley Dimensions:**
    *   **Belt Width:** This is the width of the belt the pulley is designed for, and I'd like to specify it in inches.
    *   **Belt Height:** The height of the belt, also in inches.
    *   **Belt Angle:** The angle of the "V" for a V-belt style pulley, in degrees.
*   **Pulley Stack:**
    *   I need to be able to create a pulley with multiple steps (different diameters).
    *   Each pulley step needs its own diameter.
    *   I need to be able to specify up to 6 different pulley diameters, although I might only use 1 or 2.
*   **Arbor:**
    *   **Arbor Diameter:**  The diameter of the hole in the center of the pulley (where it mounts to a shaft), in inches.
    *  **Axle Key:** An optional keyway for the shaft. I need to be able to specify the depth of this keyway. If zero, no keyway.
*   **Set Screws:**
    * I'd like to be able to add an optional set screw to any *one* of the pulley steps (or none). I should specify which pulley step gets the set screw.
*   **Pulley Edge:**
    *  I need to control whether the edge of each step is a wide, flat edge, or a sharp, narrow edge.
*   **Rounding:**
    *  I'd also like a way to adjust how rounded the edges of the pulleys are, for smoother printing.

I'd really like this to be parametric and easy to adjust, so all the dimensions are specified at the top of the script. I'd also like the program to catch some common errors (like the arbor being bigger than the pulley). Can you do that? I believe the `write` function is available, and it can be used to display an error message.

I don't need to specify any libraries specifically, but if you have helper libraries, especially for fillets and error handling, feel free to use them if it makes the job easier. Thanks!

Hey, I'm looking to create a customizable step pulley generator in OpenSCAD, and I have a pretty good idea of how I want it to work, but I need help writing the code.

Basically, I need a module that can generate a pulley with 1 to 6 steps (or grooves). The user should be able to define the diameter of each step, and if a step is 0, it's simply skipped (this is how you set up a single pulley using this code). Additionally, the user should be able to set the width and height of the belt (the channel), the angle of the belt, the diameter of the arbor (the center hole), and if there's a keyway for the arbor, its depth. I also want the option to have a flat edge or a sharp edge, as well as the option to add a set screw on any of the pulley steps (if the user requests a set screw on a pulley that does not exist, it will render an error). I also need to have an adjustable rounding quality. Finally, I need to be able to provide all measurements in millimeters.

I have a few other parameters to make this work. I'd like to be able to set the "RoundingQuality" value (basically, the `$fn` variable for cylinder creation), the `beltWidth`, `beltHeight`, the `BeltAngle`, the `arborOuterDiameter`, `axleKey` depth, a `PulleyEdge` variable (boolean to represent sharp/flat edge), `IncludeSetScrew` to allow the user to choose a specific pulley to have a setscrew on or no setscrew at all (0 for none, 1 for the first pulley, 2 for the second, etc). And each pulley diameter, of course, so we need `Pulley1Diameter`, `Pulley2Diameter`, `Pulley3Diameter`, `Pulley4Diameter`, `Pulley5Diameter`, `Pulley6Diameter`.

I'd also like to include some error checking so that if the user sets any pulley diameter to zero while having more than one pulley specified, or if they set an arbor diameter that's bigger than a pulley diameter, or requests a set screw on a pulley that doesn't exist, a big red flag with some text will appear on the rendered model.

The code will need a module named `CustomStepPulley` which takes all the needed measurements, and internally calls a `custompulley` module to generate the basic pulley. A module named `DrawErrorFlag` is necessary to display an error flag, which the `CustomStepPulley` module will call to create an error visual (a red rectangle with "ERROR" text over it). The `CustomStepPulley` module also needs to loop over the number of specified pulleys (as many as 6) and translate each one to the correct z height.

I'm not currently using any libraries, so you don't need to worry about including any external files or libraries.

I'd like to design a simple stand for a Mac Mini, or really anything that needs to be held upright. I'm thinking of a design that's basically a U-shape on its side, with a flat base plate and two vertical walls. The object will be resting on the base plate, with the two walls providing support.

Here's what I'm imagining, and the parameters I need to control:

*   **Length:** This is the length of the stand itself along the "channel".
*   **Wall Height:** The height of the vertical walls.
*   **Wall Thickness:** The thickness of the vertical walls.
*   **Channel Width:** The inside distance between the two walls – where the Mac Mini or whatever would sit.
*   **Plate Width:** The width of the base plate.
*   **Plate Thickness:** The thickness of the base plate.
*  **Rounding Radius:** Radius for rounding corners

The idea is to have all these as configurable parameters. I want to be able to control the overall dimensions of the stand to fit different objects.  I'd like to be able to control the amount of rounding applied to the edges, as well.

I'm hoping for a design that uses a 2D profile, extruded along the length, similar to how `linear_extrude` works. I'd like the corners to be rounded using a Minkowski sum. And while you're at it, could you also make sure to use the `$fn` variable to determine the quality of the round surfaces?

Could you create a parametric OpenSCAD file for this? It would be great if it were a single file that I can copy and paste.

I'd like to create a customizable vase based on the Koch snowflake, and I have some specific parameters I'd like to control.

The base shape of the vase should be a regular polygon, with the number of sides being a parameter (let's call it `POLYGON`). I need to be able to set this to values between 3 and 12, inclusive.

Then, I want to apply the Koch curve fractal to each edge of the polygon. The depth of the recursion for the Koch curve should be a parameter, `DEPTH`, and I want it to go from 1 to 5 inclusive.

The vase's base should be an ellipse rather than a circle, with parameters for the semi-major and semi-minor axes (`RADIUS_A` and `RADIUS_B`, respectively), and both should be adjustable between 5 and 100.

The overall height of the vase should be customizable as well (`HEIGHT`), with a range from 10 to 200.

The top of the vase should be a scaled version of the base, with `SCALE` going from 0.1 to 3.0 in steps of 0.1. Additionally, the top should be rotated relative to the base using a `TWIST` angle, going from 0 to 360 degrees.

I need to be able to control the layer height, `LAYER`, which will be used to derive the number of slices in the linear extrusion, using the formula `SLICES = HEIGHT / LAYER`. Layer height should have a range of 0.1 to 5, with increments of 0.05. This should allow for relatively fine control over the vertical resolution.

Finally, I'd like to have two modules. One module should be called `koch_vase_test` and should only generate the vase without any thickness. The second module should be called `koch_vase` and should produce a vase with a specified wall thickness.

For the vase with thickness, I want it hollow, with a wall thickness that's controlled by a parameter named `WIDTH` (that I'm not setting now, but I'll probably want to set later). It should also have a small flat base on the bottom. For simplicity and to avoid floating parts, the inner extrusion should be slightly larger than the outer extrusion in the z-direction.

Could you generate the necessary OpenSCAD code for this?

Hi! I'm looking to create a custom component tray for a board game, and I really like the concept of the "Sloped_Component_Tray_v1.4.scad" I found online, but I need a slightly more advanced version with a few extra features.

Here's what I'm thinking:

1.  **Basic Tray Structure:** I need a rectangular tray with the following adjustable parameters:
    *   `tray_width`: Total width of the tray.
    *   `tray_length`: Total length of the tray.
    *   `tray_height`: Total height of the tray.
    *   `wall_thickness`: Thickness of the tray walls.
    *   `size_of_rim`: Height of a rim around the top edge of the tray.
    *   `number_of_divisions`: How many compartments the tray should be split into along its width.
    *   `size_of_bottom`: What percentage of the compartment floor should be flat? The remaining portion should slope upward to the sides of the tray. This is similar to the original tray but should apply to each compartment individually.
2.  **Compartment Flexibility**: I'd like the option to specify the relative size of each compartment along the width of the tray. I should be able to pass in a list of percentages summing to 100. So, instead of just an equal number of divisions, I want to create compartments that are different widths. For example, `compartment_widths = [25, 50, 25]` would give me three compartments, with the center one being twice the width of the other two.
3.  **Compartment Length Control**: Additionally, I want to specify the length of each compartment individually. Specifically, I need to be able to provide a list of flat bottom percentages for each compartment. So I would provide a list of values from 0-100, and the percentage of the length along the base would be flat.
4.  **Rounded Corners:** It would be great if the corners of the tray and each individual compartment could be rounded. I would need an adjustable `corner_radius` parameter to control this.
5.  **Stacking Feature**: Finally, it would be super handy if I could add a small lip to the bottom of the tray to make them stackable! An adjustable `stacking_lip` height parameter would be great for this.

I am not planning on using external libraries other than the built-in OpenSCAD modules, but I want everything to be as parametric as possible. Could you generate the appropriate OpenSCAD code for this? I'm really looking forward to using this in my next game night!

I'm looking for an OpenSCAD design for a customizable quadcopter standoff, kind of like a mounting plate with four standoffs. I'd like to be able to adjust a few things, specifically:

*   **Standoff Height:** How tall the standoffs are.
*   **Standoff Inner Radius:** The radius of the hole in the standoff, so I can use different sized screws, M2, M3, etc.
*   **Standoff Thickness:** The thickness of the standoff wall, since my 3D printer is a bit rough on thin parts.
*   **Mounting Hole Distance:** The distance between the standoffs, for different size flight controllers.
*   **Connector Height:** The height of the arms connecting the standoffs.

I was thinking that the standoffs should be connected with arms, and that they should have a more rounded appearance, not just a straight cube. The standoffs themselves should be cylinders. It would be nice to have the arms that connect them rotated at 45 degrees so the corners meet the standoffs better, or possibly rounded off as well.

I would like this to be a single OpenSCAD file. I'm not using any special libraries at the moment.

Hi, I'm looking for an OpenSCAD design for a customizable LEGO Duplo brick, and I have a pretty specific list of requirements. I've seen some attempts online, but nothing quite hits all the marks.

Essentially, I need a module that can generate Duplo bricks of varying sizes, both in terms of length/width (in studs) and height. I want to be able to choose whether it's a standard brick or a thin base plate, and also whether to have studs or text on the top surface. If I choose text, I need it to support a large list of selectable fonts from the usual suspects, and it needs to be able to scale and vertically offset the text from the top surface. The text needs to either be part of the main brick, or a separate colorable element for multi-material printing purposes. The text can either be a raised area or an embossed area into the top surface.

Here's the detailed breakdown:

**Core Brick Features:**

*   **Parametric Size:** The brick's dimensions should be adjustable along the X and Y axes, in stud increments. For instance, I should be able to specify a 2x2 brick, a 1x4 brick, etc, up to at least a 35x35 brick.
*   **Variable Height:** The height should be adjustable in multiples of standard brick height (e.g. 0.5 for base or cap, 1 for standard, 2, 3, 4, 5), and should be parametric.
*  **Base Plate Option:** An option should be available to create a thin base plate instead of a brick.
*   **Studs/Text Toggle:** An option to choose between having standard Duplo studs or custom text on the top surface.

**Stud Design:**

*   **Standard Duplo Dimensions:** The studs need to conform to the standard Duplo dimensions (approximately 15.75mm spacing between studs, radius of 4.7mm, a gripping section height of 4.0mm, and a guide section of 0.7mm).
*   **Sloped Stud Tops:** The studs need to have a sloped top section (cone or angled cylinder) to ease assembly. This is a critical feature!

**Text Features:**

*   **Font Selection:** The text should be customizable, with a long list of fonts available.  I have a list in mind from the Thingiverse customizer, but any set with similar variation would work. I'd like to see things like "Arial", "Liberation Sans", "ABeeZee", "Bangers", "Roboto" and "Open Sans" and lots more.
*   **Text Size:** I need to be able to scale the text relative to the brick size to adjust the visual size of the text.
*   **Text Height:** I should be able to adjust the thickness/height of the text.
*   **Text Inset:** The text should be able to be embossed into the brick. I need to control the depth of the inset, and it should be zero by default.
*   **Multi-Material Printing:** I need options to have the text be either part of the main brick or be a separate piece. This would be achieved by having either an embossed letter within the brick, or a separate, single colour letter as a separate colorable component.

**Internal Structure:**

*   **Internal Cylinders:** The bricks should include the internal cylinders for stud connectivity and strength.
*   **Support Triangles:** The internal cylinders should have triangular supports to add to the roof strength.
*   **Cylinder Flex Options:** An option to choose from full-circle or sectioned bottom portions on the cylinders for different printing / safety considerations. Also, a 'solid' option for max strength.

**Additional Features:**

*   **Rounded Corners and Edges:** The brick needs to have rounded corners and edges for safety and better aesthetic. I need to control the radius of these corners and edges.  Also the polygon count or roundness of the curves.
*   **Support Ridges:**  The bricks should include the grip ridges along the sides.
    *    **Extended Ridges:** The support ridges should also optionally be extended to assist with taller brick grip, with a configurable length/extension.

**Parameters:**

I'd like a set of parameters that are exposed in the OpenSCAD customizer that would let me control all of the above. I tried to name them what I would prefer them to be called.
*   `X_size`: Size along X axis (in studs)
*   `Y_size`: Size along Y axis (in studs)
*   `Height_factor`: Height multiplier (1=standard)
*   `base_type`:  1=Brick or 2=Base Plate
*   `Studs`: 0=Letters or 1=Studs
*    `Extended_Ridges`: 0=No or 1=Yes extended ridges for taller bricks
*   `print_helper`: 0=4 section flex cylinder, 1=Full circle bottom, 2=Solid center cylinder
*   `text`: The text for the top of the brick
*   `font`: Font name
*    `letter_scale`: Scaling of letter size
*   `letter_height`: Height of the letter
*   `multi_material`: 0=Single color, 1=Dual color base, 2=Dual color letter only
*   `letter_inset`: Depth the letter embosses into brick
*   `letter_detail`: Segments for the letter curves
*   `base_unit`: Size of a single stud section
*   `std_height`: Standard brick height
*   `wall_thickness`: Thickness of vertical walls
*    `roof_thickness`: Thickness of the top surface
*   `base_plate_thickness`: Thickness of the thin base plate
*   `stud_radius`: Radius of a stud
*   `stud_height`: Height of gripping section of stud
*    `stud_guide`: Height of the guiding section of the stud
*   `cyl_radius`: Radius of internal cylinder
*   `cyl_thickness`: Thickness of internal cylinder wall
*   `triangle_size`: Size of cylinder support triangles
*   `ridge_thickness`: Thickness of grip ridge
*   `ridge_width`: Extension of the grip ridge
*   `curve_detail`: Segments for the cylinder curves
*   `rounded_corners`: Roundness radius for outside corners
*    `corner_detail`: Polygon count/roundness of outside corner curves

I understand this is a large request, but a tool like this would be incredibly useful, and I'd be happy to work with you on any issues that may come up.

I don't need any libraries for this, it would be best if it was all done with the core OpenSCAD modules.

Thanks!

[User]
Okay, I'm looking to create a parametric model of a Czechoslovakian Sklmmp acid container carriage for my MiniRailway project. I want it to be scalable for different model railway gauges: Z, N, TT, and H0.

I have an existing OpenSCAD file that outlines the basic dimensions and structure, but I need to generate a new set of files that parameterizes all the important features. I’m not looking to modify the existing code, but rather use it as a guide to develop a cleaner, more parametric set of files that would also allow for variations, like simplified designs or different coupler attachments.

Here's a breakdown of what I need the model to include, based on the existing file and my understanding of the prototype:

**Key Parameters (these should be easily adjustable):**

*   **`model_scale`**: This will define the overall scale of the model (e.g., Z=220, N=160, TT=120, H0=87). This should be a global parameter that drives all other dimensions.
*   **`gauge`**: An option to allow for different gauges in the model. Instead of fixed `model_scale` values, there would be options for "Z", "N", "TT", and "H0". This is an alternate approach to the `model_scale` parameter described above.
*   **`include_bumpers_to_chassis`**: A boolean option to include the bumpers as part of the chassis print or as separate parts.
*   **`chassis_wall_thickness`**: Thickness of the chassis walls.
*   **`real_rail_thickness`**: Thickness of the rails of the main structure.
*   **`bed_rail_join`**: Parameter that dictates how the rails are joined (1=joined at half-thickness, 0=full thickness).
*   **`bolt_hole`**: Diameter of the bolt holes for attaching bogies (should default to 2.5mm).
*   **`bogie_offset`**: Distance from the chassis edge to the center of the bogie pivot.
*   **`bogie_pivot_d`**: Diameter of the bogie pivoting cylinder.
*   **`bogie_pivot_h`**: Height of the bogie pivoting cylinder.
*   **`body_y_offset`**:  Offset of the main body from the end of the chassis.
*   **`chassis_length`**: Overall length of the chassis.
*   **`chassis_height`**: Height of the chassis.
*   **`chassis_width`**: Width of the chassis.
*   **`chassis_center_height`**: Height of the raised center section of the chassis.
*  **`chassis_center_length`**: Length of the raised center section of the chassis.
*  **`chassis_center_length_2`**: Length of the larger, trapezoidal-shape portion of the center section of the chassis.
*   **`rail_thickness`**: Thickness of the rails (calculated based on `real_rail_thickness` and `model_scale`).
*   **`rail_length`**: Length of the side rails.
*   **`rail_height`**: Height of the side rails.
*   **`rail_step`**: Spacing between the vertical supports in the rail structure.
*   **`rail_width`**: Width of the top rails.
*  **`barrel_d`**: Diameter of the acid container barrels (not implemented yet, but leave a place to add them).
*  **`barrel_height`**: Height of the acid container barrels (not implemented yet, but leave a place to add them).
*  **`barrel_offset_r`**: Radial offset of the acid container barrels (not implemented yet, but leave a place to add them).
*   **`bumper_distance`**: Distance between the bumpers.
*   **`bumper_length`**: Length of the bumpers.
*   **`bumper_shaft_d`**: Diameter of the bumper shaft.
*   **`bumper_head_d`**: Diameter of the bumper head.
*   **`bumper_head_h`**: Height of the bumper head.
*   **`ladder_step_h`**: Height of the ladder steps.
*   **`ladder_w`**: Width of the ladder.
*   **`ladder_thickness`**: Thickness of the ladder.
*   **`handlebar_h`**: Height of the front handlebar.
*   **`coupler_type`**: Parameter to select different types of couplers (example: NEM362 or custom, leave as default "none")
*   **`coupler_mount_x`**: Location along x-axis for the coupler mount
*    **`coupler_mount_y`**: Location along y-axis for the coupler mount
*    **`coupler_mount_z`**: Location along z-axis for the coupler mount

**Modules (these should be parametric, using the above parameters):**

*   **`bumper()`**: Generates a single bumper unit, including the head and shaft.
*   **`small_step()`**: Generates the small access steps at the end of the car.
*   **`front_handlebar()`**: Generates the handlebar on the front of the wagon.
*   **`side_railing_base()`**: Generates the base structure of the side railings.
*   **`side_railing(mirror_it=false)`**: Generates a side railing, and mirrors it on the other side using the boolean.
*   **`top_railing()`**: Generates the top railing structure.
*   **`front_desk()`**: Generates the front desk pieces.
*    **`_front_top_shape()`**: Helper module for the `front_desk()`, creates 2d profile
*   **`chassis()`**: Generates the main chassis structure, including all of the main pieces and joining cylinders.
*  **`coupler_mount()`**: generates an appropriate coupler mount depending on the type selected with `coupler_type`
*   **`parts()`**: Assembles all the individual parts for printing.
*   **`arranged()`**: Assembles all parts into a complete wagon model.

**File Structure:**

I'd prefer the design to be split into multiple files for clarity and reusability:

1.  **`config.scad`**: Contains global parameters.
2.  **`modules.scad`**: Contains the definitions of all the individual modules.
3. **`couplers.scad`**: Contains coupler definitions and mounting points, with different types as options.
4. **`sklmmmp.scad`**: Top-level file that includes other files and has rendering logic.

**Specific requests:**

*   Use clear comments to explain the logic and parameters in the code.
*   The model should be optimized for 3D printing (avoiding very thin walls).
*   The model should be able to be rendered in two modes: "parts" for individual components and "arranged" for the assembled wagon.
* I'd like to use a library to manage the parameters for easier customization (I don't know what would work best, but I prefer not to re-implement parameter management logic.)

Please let me know if you need any other details. I'm looking forward to seeing the generated OpenSCAD files!
