Customizable Laser Cutter Calibration Comb

Simple Parametric Piece for Dialing In Laser Cut Fit. I encounter varied snugness with interlocking pieces cut from different laser cutters of the same model, or various sheets of the same material. A quick test lets you dial in a custom fit before cutting whole sheets. Cut it out first; check which slot gives your desired fit. Apply that offset to the rest of your design. The Customizer lets you set the thickness of your material, number of slots and incremental offsets for each. Try it! I appreciate the start Matt_Hova gave me with OpenSCAD! Note: The "2D Drawing" option doesn't work through the Thingiverse Customizer app. There are two ways to make a DXF file for the laser cutter: Choose "3D Part" in the customizer; download the STL and use your CAD software to draw it, then export the drawing as a DXF. Open the .scad file; change the output setting to dxf and compile. Export directly to DXF. Note: If you're running it locally on your computer, change "use" to ".
