Customizable shipping container

thingiverse

This appears to be documentation for an OpenSCAD module used to generate a container model, likely for 3D printing. The module allows users to customize various aspects of the container's design and layout. Here's a summary of the main features mentioned in the document: 1. **Container Walls**: Walls can be placed internally within the container, either lengthwise (in X direction) or across (in Y direction). This is achieved using the `wall()` function with parameters for direction (`dir`), position (`x`, `y`), and length. 2. **Interior Text**: Embedded text can be added to the floor of the container on the inside. Currently, this can only be placed in X direction using the `text_int()` function with parameters for text (`text`), position (`x`, `y`), and font size (`size`). 3. **Exterior Text**: Exterior text is embedded in the floor of the container on the outside, typically used with a "flat" bottom style to avoid interference with other features. This can also only be placed in X direction using the `text_ext()` function with similar parameters. 4. **Customizable Dimensions**: Many dimensions of the container can be customized through variables, including: * `FRAME_THICKNESS`: The thickness of the container frame (default: 0.10m or 10cm). * `FRAME_INSET_X` and `FRAME_INSET_Y`: Offset of vertical frame bars in X direction (default: 2cm). * `TOP_INSET`: Offset of top panel below top frame (default: 2cm). * `SIDE_INSET`: Offset of side panels towards the inside of the container (default: 3cm). Additionally, the document mentions some potential future features: 1. **Text Rotation**: Allowing text to be rotated for more flexibility in placement. 2. **Realistic Corner Placement**: Improving corner placement for longer containers (45' and 53') with corner castings along bars. 3. **Wall Ridges**: Enabling customizable wall ridges at angles other than 90°. 4. **Forklift Holes**: Adding holes for forklifts in both X and Y directions on 20' containers. 5. **More Door Styles**: Introducing more door styles, such as a simple or complex door with realistic latches. Overall, this module provides a range of options for customizing container designs and layouts, while also highlighting potential areas for future development.
