Parametric Cherry MX Mounting Plate for Mechanical Keyboards

This is a CAD script for generating Poker case compatible switch plates I am currently using it to generate a plate for an upcoming build of mine so some functions will be specialized \nI'm leaving this up for posterity but I highly recommend Swill's plate and case builder now http://builder.swillkb.com/\nSINAP.scad is the current working script with correct hole size and placement stabilizers and multiple switch hole options but it is not optimized for the customizer so if you want to use the full suite of things I would suggest booting it up in SCAD\n\n\nInstructions\nI print mine as fast as she'll go at 80% infill for stability and .4mm layer height \nFor Modifying the layout:\nYou won't be able to modify the layout of the keyboard without opening this up in SCAD indeed even in SCAD I had to cut corners since all variables are static In order to make a plate a hole matrix is generated from a vector of keys keys are a vector where the first element is the position of the key and the second element is the size of the key thus the first row looks like this \n//start ROW 0 \n[[0,0],1] [[1,0],1] [[2,0],1] [[3,0],1] [[4,0],1] [[5,0],1] [[6,0],1] [[7,0],1] [[8,0],1] [[9,0],1] [[10,0],1] [[11,0],1] [[12,0],1] [[13,0],2] \nin actuality there are no row designations it's just a flat vector of positions and sizes but it's nice to have it laid out like that
