## Customizable Magnetic Build Board Brackets Brackets of various sizes with holes for magnets for securing objects to a metal building board. - My build board is a 26 gauge 12" x 24" sheet metal from Home Depot - Larger round magnets are 8mm dia x 3mm thick from Home Depot - Smaller round magnets are 3/16" (4.8mm) dia x 1/8" (3.2mm) thick from K&J Magnetics - Smaller square (cube) magnets are 3/16" (4.8mm) from K&J Magnetics - STLs for full size (60mm L x 75mm H), medium size (20mm L x 25.4mm H), and mini size (12mm L x 20mm H) brackets included - Other brackets can be generated with the included OpenSCAD files ## Notes - The top level OpenSCAD file is magnetic-build-plate-parts.scad. This is the file you open when starting OpenSCAD or the file that you pass to OpenSCAD on the command line. - Alternatively, if you're having trouble opening magnetic-build-plate-parts.scad, try opening the file called magnetic-build-plate-parts-1f.scad. This is a flat file - all of the necessary files except the BOSL2 library files are concatenated into this single file. If you go this route, you'll also need to copy magnetic-build-plate-parts.json to magnetic-build-plate-parts-1f.json. - There is a choice of 2 top level OpenSCAD files: - magnetic-build-plate-parts.scad - includes the other OpenSCAD files that are part of this thing. - magnetic-build-plate-parts-1f.scad - flat file, all of the necessary files except the BOSL2 library files are concatenated into this single file - The OpenSCAD files use the BOSL2 library, not included here, but can be downloaded from https://github.com/BelfrySCAD/BOSL2. Be sure to add the path to your BOSL2 directory to OPENSCADPATH. For example, on Linux, do something like: export OPENSCADPATH=$OPENSCADPATH:/mnt/share/openscad-contrib Where the openscad-contrib subdirectory contains the BOSL2 hierarchy. - The brackets modules use the NopSCADlib polyholes.scad file, which is included here. The entire NopSCADlib can be downloaded from https://github.com/nophead/NopSCADlib.git. NopSCADlib is written by Chris Palmer. See the top of polyholes.scad for copyright and licensing information. ## Issues - The rendering of the brackets with round magnet holders can take a long time
