Parametric Makerbot M

thingiverse

In my recent OpenSCAD project (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:11025), I decided to add a stylish Makerbot M logo. To do so, I searched Thingiverse for native OpenSCAD code but couldn't find any suitable options. Instead, I had to import an STL file, extrude a DXF, or install a font. As a result, I created a custom MakerbotM module that you can use. Rather than just incorporating it into the Bottle Opener's .scad file, I've shared it separately for others to enjoy. I later updated the module by incorporating tbuser's changes (with more faces on the cylinder) and extending the middle leg of the M. This fixed some occasional weirdness during differences. The module accepts two parameters: height, which determines the logo's height, and thickness, which sets its dimensions. The part's origin is at the center for easy positioning.
