Another Keychain Customizable

thingiverse

Customizing is not working, actually. This is another keychain, but I didn't like the quality of many others like it. The model is based on an original one, but it's completely new and the SCAD coding has been adapted to "andrewn1"'s. The size of my printed version is roughly 57x25x7. On the Thingsiverse website, in the right menu, you can find a button called "Open in Customizer". There, you can add your own text and save it as a new thing. It contains no special characters or languages like Greek, Russian, Chinese, etc. Unfortunately, the CUSTOMIZER on Thingsiverse works with SCAD-files. But here are the steps I followed: 1. Create something: I used Blender to make a 3D-model and exported it as an STL-file. In my case, the file was called "Keychain.stl" without text. 2. I downloaded and installed OpenSCAD from https://www.openscad.org/. Then, I imported my 3D-model, but that didn't work in Thingsiverse. It was pretty reckless of me! 3. I rebuilt the model using SCAD-code from "andrewn1" and information from Github. To write in OpenSCAD, I found instructions on Github: https://github.com/rohieb/Write.scad/blob/master/Write.scad. You can find all the SCAD-files and fonts there. 4. To convert my STL-file to SCAD, I went to https://openjscad.org/. There, you have to drop your STL-file into the left corner at the bottom. After a while, you get some code that you can use. Now, copy everything under "polyhedron" and paste it under module ascii in your SCAD-file like this: module ascii() { polyhedron( points=[ [4,-6,2], ....and so on ], triangles=[ [0,1,2], ... and so on ] ); } Here are some adjustments you need to make: a. Rename "polygons" into "triangles". b. Replace the colon ":" with an equal sign "=" only after the words "points" and "triangles".
