Parametric encoder wheels
thingiverse
Create encoder wheels for use with fork sensors or light barriers. Follow these steps: 1. Design and export the encoder file in OpenSCAD, ensuring thin lines for interrupter areas. Export as a 2D image. 2. Import the image into a vector graphics program like Inkscape to fill the interrupter areas as needed. 3. Print the design on a transparent sheet using your printer, set to maximum contrast for optimal visibility. Note that you may need to print twice for better reliability. For 3D printing: This feature is not yet tested; generate, print, and enjoy when available.
