prusaprinters

<p>THIS PROJECT HAS MOVED TO GITHUB</p> <h3><a href="https://github.com/IdoMagal/The-Boardgame-Insert-Toolkit/">https://github.com/IdoMagal/The-Boardgame-Insert-Toolkit/</a></h3> <hr/> <p>This OpenSCAD library was created to make it easy to create board game inserts with lids for either horizontal or vertical storage, without any programming required.</p> <p>Create a settings file, in which you specify the box dimensions and any number of compartments, their sizes, what kind of pieces it holds, etc, and the script will do the rest.</p> <p>Inserts:</p> <ul> <li>Pandemic: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3412724">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3412724</a></li> <li>Mice and Mystics: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3435429">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3435429</a></li> <li>Indonesia (upgraded goods): <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3446879">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3446879</a></li> <li>Indonesia (upgraded goods and ships ): <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3454636">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3454636</a></li> <li>Pax Emancipation: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3450282">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3450282</a></li> <li>Bios: Genesis: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3452368">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3452368</a></li> <li>Greenland/Neanderthal: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3469793">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3469793</a></li> <li>Pax Porfiriana (Collector's Edition): <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3478944">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3478944</a></li> <li>Pax Renaissance: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3479114">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3479114</a></li> <li>High Frontier (3rd): <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3482341">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3482341</a></li> <li>Bios: Megafauna: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3493660">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3493660</a></li> <li>1830: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3499314">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3499314</a></li> <li>Sword &amp; Sorcery: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3515523">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3515523</a></li> <li>Mansions of Madness 2nd edition persons container: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3527361">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3527361</a></li> <li>Stuffed Fables: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3535505">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3535505</a></li> <li>Star Trek: Frontiers: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3538652">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3538652</a></li> <li>V Commandos: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4319308">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4319308</a></li> </ul> <p>Cheers.</p> <hr/> <h3>CHANGE NOTES</h3> <h3>v2.00</h3> <p>Version 2.00 is a major rework and is not compatible with previous versions.</p> <p>The major changes are</p> <ul> <li>"type" has been replaced with explicit specification of a-la-carte features.</li> <li>Labels have more options.</li> </ul> <h3>Details:</h3> <ul> <li>g_b_visualization is now purely for previewing and cannot be exported (accidentally or otherwise)</li> <li>components are now colorized for easier debugging of overlaps</li> <li>labels<ul> <li>New field, "placement" (default "center") specifies where to place the text relative to the compartment.</li> </ul> Supported values are "center", "below", "back", "left", "right", "back-wall", "front-wall", "right-wall", "left-wall". <br/> "center" places the text in the FRONT of the compartment while the others place it on one of the adjacent partitions. <br/> "-wall" placement places the labels on the wall of the compartment.<ul> <li>New field, "offset" (default "[0,0]") specifies the amount to adjust the position of the text, in the x and y directions.</li> <li>New field, "font" (default "Liberation Sans:style=bold") specifies a font to use.</li> <li>The field "rotation" now specifies an angle in degrees and supports any angle.</li> <li>The field "size" now supports (and defaults to) "auto," which attempts to fit the text into its region.</li> <li>When using an array of labels, the labels are no longer read in reverse order and should appear as specified in the array.</li> </ul> </li> <li>boxes<ul> <li>New field "lid_notches" (default "true") specifies whether the box has notches or not.</li> <li>New field "fit_lid_under" (default "true") replaces g_b_fit_lid_underneath and allows per-box specification on whether the box should be printed to allow the lid to fit underneath.</li> <li>New field "lid_hex_radius" (default "4.0") specifies the radius of the honeycomb hexes in the lid.</li> </ul> </li> <li>components<ul> <li>The field "rotation" now respects any value and specifies the rotation of the entire component.</li> <li>The field "type" has been deprecated.
