Circular gasket customizer

thingiverse

I wanted to create a simple circular gasket with a specified number of holes around it, featuring smoothly radiused edges. This project required a significant amount of trigonometry to accomplish. You can export the rendered file as an SVG and import it into InkScape for conversion into GCode suitable for laser cutters or plotters. If the stud holes are not evenly spaced, you can introduce a variable, such as j, where j = [0, 45, 75, 213, 310]; (for example). Within the "for" loop, rewrite it like this: for(i = j){ rotate(i) ... }
