Breakout Elements

cults3d

I'm working on a script to create snap-together holders for Sparkfun breakout-boards that perfectly match their unique polygonal proto-boards. However, I had to adjust the scale to accommodate all shapes of protoboards since my previous dodecahedral design wasn't compatible. I've tested and provided instances for three different Sparkfun boards: the 3.3v boost converter, Arduino pro-mini, and EasyDriver stepper motor driver. The standard Arduino required a larger holder than my build platform could handle, but printing it in sections would work with some trimming and adjustment as MakerBot didn't build the part to exact specifications. I've updated the script by adding breakout_revised.scad, which includes support for a default 2x2 piece with cutaways for connectors between the hinges. This revised design is a good candidate for a standard circuit board element. The cleaned-up code style produces example outputs like radioshack.stl and isp.stl.
