# CaseBuilderLib Design 3D printed cases for random things!  ## How to use this library: 1. **Preparation** 1. Make a copy of the CaseBuilderLib project template (**CaseBuilderTemplate.scad**). The template is intended to be used with the OpenSCAD Customizer.  Design a customized case in three stages. Start by setting the **`Stage`** variable to **"Model"** (value = 1).  2. **Model Stage** 1. Design a model with the parts of your case content as children of the **`CaseBuilder()`** module. Construct each part using primitive shapes. Complex shapes will be wrapped in a hull. Use exact measures. Slack will be added to cavities automatically.  2. Configure the inner dimensions of the case by setting the **`IdimX`**, **`IdimY`**, and **`IdimZ`** variables. Adjust the position of content through the **`ObjX`**, **`ObjY`**, and **`ObjZ`** variables if necessary.  3. Add grip holes by setting the variables **`Gh1X`**, **`Gh2X`**, or **`Gh3X`** to a value within the inner X dimension. Further grip holes can be added manually.  4. Continue by setting the **`Stage`** variable to **"Check"** (value = 2). Review the design and make sure to resolve all problems highlighted in red. Adjust the angle in the **openA** variable to open or close the case. Use the **UvisB** and **LvisB** variables for a detailed inspection.  3. **Generate Stage** 1. Do a final review of the design using the **OpenA**, **UvisB**, and **LvisB** variables. Use these variables for a detailed inspection.  2. Render the design and generate a [STL file](https://github.com/hotwolf/CaseBuilderLib/blob/master/Examples/Gauge/Gauge.stl). Use this STL file for slicing and printing.
