Parametric Code 83/100 HO track

thingiverse

Simple OpenSCAD module to craft straight and curved track code for your railroad models, featuring Code 83 and Code 100 designs. This module is perfect for hobbyists looking to save on track expenses while still achieving high-quality results. To use this module, you'll need to obtain the rail components, which can be sourced from various suppliers or made using a 3D printer. Once you have the rails in hand, you're ready to begin creating your custom tracks. Simply adjust the RAIL_SIZE variable to customize the rail dimensions, and experiment with different configurations to achieve the perfect look for your model railroad. The included modules allow you to craft both straight and curved sections of track. For instance, you can use the STRAIGHT module to create a simple 6-inch section of track or a longer stretch of continuous roadbed. Similarly, the CURVE module enables you to generate curved sections with radii up to 24 inches in length. Here's a rundown of how to load and operate the modules: * Load the track_v2.scad file into OpenSCAD. * Use the STRAIGHT module to create a section of straight track by inputting its length in millimeters. For example, use STRAIGHT(6); to produce a 6-inch segment of track. * Utilize the CURVE module to generate curved sections with adjustable radius and segment counts. The module accepts two parameters: radius (in inches) and segments (the number of parts to form a complete circle). For instance, type CURVE(radius=24,segments=12); to create a 24-inch diameter curve divided into 12 sections.
