Parametric Rietveld Steltman chair

thingiverse

I'm building a Rietveld Steltman chair and I found a link with good description and original dimensions (see below). Don't print this model; it's not intended for printing (although you can easily change it). In the original, they use 44mm thick wood, but I have spare wood that is 25mm thick. Before building it all, I want to see how it looks with different dimensions, so I created a parametric OpenSCAD version of the chair. This script will take total width, total height, seating height and seat dimensions as inputs and render and print out the dimensions of all parts. I'm going to use biscuits (sort of dowel) to join the parts. If you want to make mortise and tenon joints like in the original, read the link below and some parts will need to be a bit longer. Link to description and dimensions: http://rietveldbuilder.blogspot.com/2011/02/it-sure-helps-when-you-have-accurate.html My version has the following settings: THICKNESS = 25; // thickness of material (default 44) WIDTH = 85; // width of most wood parts (default 100) HEIGHT = 690; // total chair height, default is 700 F_LENGTH = 400; // seating height, default is 400 H_WIDTH = 300; // seat depth, default is 356 H_LENGTH = 337; // seat length, default is 400 The script results in: ECHO: "A", 44, 100, 600 ECHO: "B", 44, 100, 344 ECHO: "C", 44, 100, 456 ECHO: "D", 44, 100, 556 ECHO: "E", 44, 100, 400 ECHO: "F", 44, 100, 400 ECHO: "G", 44, 100, 256 ECHO: "H", 44, 356, 400
