Bracelet for hieroglyphic messages

thingiverse

My initial attempt at crafting a unique accessory was met with limited enthusiasm from the kids, who failed to see the appeal of a Halloween-themed wristband. Undeterred, I decided to incorporate Egyptian hieroglyphics in an effort to breathe new life into the design. To achieve this, I modified the array "word" (located on line 6) to convey a cryptic message. The more characters used, the longer the accessory would be. I have included bash scripts that enable the conversion of list2.txt into an OpenSCAD array, as well as the Inkscape script used to separate the design into individual SVG files for those who may find them useful. Designing the bracelet itself proved to be a relatively straightforward task. However, creating a reliable clasp or hook that could securely fasten a thin wristband was a frustrating experience. None of the existing designs were satisfactory. If you do not have "Noto Sans Egyptian Hieroglyphs" installed, proceed to line 116 and make the necessary adjustments: Change: translate([pos,0,0]) scale([sc,sc,1]) rotate([0,0,00]) text(text = str(t), font = font, size = 57.3, valign = "center", halign="center"); //translate([pos,0,0]) scale([sc,sc,1]) translate([-55,16,0]) import(str(folder,word[nr],".svg")); to: <blockquote> //translate([pos,0,0]) scale([sc,sc,1]) rotate([0,0,00]) text(text = str(t), font = font, size = 57.3, valign = "center", halign="center"); translate([pos,0,0]) scale([sc,sc,1]) translate([-55,16,0]) import(str(folder,word[nr],".svg")); </blockquote> Extract the "svg.zip" file and place all the contents in a folder named "svg," along with bracelet.24.scad.
