Dovetail wall connector

youmagine

This is a dovetail connector with screw holes so you can mount it on a wall or any other flat surface. It makes use of my earlier dovetail design. If you want to use the dovetail_wall.scad file to make your own size connectors, you have to download the dovetail.scad file as well. Module: Dovetail Wall Connector This is basically a flat plate with a dovetail and screw holes to mount it on a wall or any other flat surface. Parameters: * Gender: A Boolean value indicating male (false) or female (true), defaulting to the global parameter Dovetail_Gender. * Size: A 3-value array giving the size of the dovetail, with a default value set in the global parameter Dovetail_Size. * Margin: A decimal value giving the space between male and female connectors, with an experimental value required for a perfect fit, defaulting to the global parameter Dovetail_Margin. * Plate: A decimal value or 3-value array giving the size of the plate the dovetail is mounted on, with a thickness taken from the dovetail size when only one decimal value is given. * Hole: A decimal value giving the diameter of the screw holes in the plate, defaulting to the global parameter Wall_Hole. Global Parameters: * Wall_Plate = 5; Set to your preferred plate size so you don't have to specify it every time you call this module. * Wall_Hole = 4; Set to your preferred screw hole diameter so you don't have to specify it every time you call this module. * Wall_Hole_Sunken = yes(); Set to your preferred screw hole style so you don't have to specify it every time you call this module. Helpful Functions: * dovetailGender(): Returns the global set parameter Dovetail_Gender. * dovetailMargin(): Returns the global set parameter Dovetail_Margin. * dovetailSize(): Returns the global set parameter Dovetail_Size. * wallPlate(): Returns the global set parameter Wall_Plate. * wallHole(): Returns the global set parameter Wall_Hole. * wallHoleSunken(): Returns the global set parameter Wall_Hole_Sunken. * female(): Returns true to indicate a female style connector. * male(): Returns false to indicate a male style connector. * yes(): Returns true. * no(): Returns false. * inchToMm(i): Converts an imperial inch value to millimeters.
