Template plate for info_rating_fun - OpenScad

thingiverse

This design is included in database of released on 19-05-2021 Template Shapes_Text https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4863092 Unfortunatelly I checked more devices & compartments on board and discovered more missing or unreadible plates- different sizes and text distribution. I start thinking about something more flexible than project of device rating plate https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4848236 and this is result - maybe little rough, but good enough to be released to the public It consists of (customizable) version 2 (mm only) added 5 images to import (be patient playing with images. Do not forget .png extension. Hiding plate helps version 1 1 plate (color,width,height, thickness) 25 text lines (color,width position, vertical position, rotation, extrusion, text, textsize, font, style); 10 cubes (color,width position, vertical position, rotation, width, height, extrude, wall thickness); 10 rings (color, width position, vertical position, diameter, scale x, scale y, rotation, extrude, wall thicknes); 10 triangles (color, width pos, vertical position, rotation, scale x, scale y, extrude, radius, wall thickness); Position of text and shapes starts from left bottom corner and is counted as percentage of plate width/height. Width position (left/ right), veritcal position (up/down) and rotation are fitted with sliders. Shapes can be moved outside the plate to form a hangup and thats why their thickness is counted from bottom of the plate - do not forget it. Text thickness(extrusion) is counted from top of the plate. Rotation of shapes is from -90 to +90 degrees. If You want shapes without walls (full) - increase wall thickness. On the end of the code is Show area with templates I need or as results of testing. I found playing with it quite funny. And after a while I discovered, that making new template in Show area by simply typing required instructions is relatively easy. One thing I did not resolved yet - if plate dimensions in the show template differs from those in customizer, text and shapes positioning sucks. Plate dimensions in customizer must be the same as in template You are playing with - remember. To avoid this problem I included additional file and database, without proportional scaling. Enter x,y position in mm. Both version have advantages and disadvantages. Your choice. I'm planning to import some simple images into template, so follow this thread if You are interested. Enjoy Any comments wellcome. If You make some template which You find interesting, send me a message with parameters. I'm thinking about kind of database. Thank You.
