basic receptacles

thingiverse

This text provides various printable shapes for receptacle forms, ranging from 3 to 100 sides. Over 300 basic shapes are available before scaling or modification. STL files of 100-sided versions and examples of other shapes are given for easy printing. If desired, custom shapes can be requested by specifying the shape and number of sides. OpenSCAD can be used to intersect these shapes with rotated/translated cubes to create new forms. The text also provides instructions on generating STLs using different receptacle modules in OpenSCAD. Examples of generated STL files are given, along with a module that allows for easy generation of custom STLs by specifying the receptacle number and number of sides. A recent update includes a new module for quicker shape creation.
