PolyPanels OpenSCAD Library
I was inspired by Devin Montes to make an OpenSCAD library for PolyPanels.
https://www.makeanything.design/polypanels
He released Fusion360 files and I thought it would be good to have an OpenSCAD alternative. I've spent a good amount of time making sure that these are compatible with Devon's designs. Of course, they aren't as "roundy" as Devons, no fillet tool here...
Module Usage:
The modules that start with '_' really shouldn't be used. They are primitives.
polypanelsnap()
---------------
Creates the snap bar for PolyPanels. Use this module to make your own PolyPanels.
PolyPanelSquare(open=true)
PolyPanelTriangle(open=true)
PolyPanelPentagon(open=true)
PolyPanelPentagonOriginal(open=true)
----------------------------
These are the primative PolyPanel shapes. They all take an 'open' parameter set to true to have an open face, false for closed.
PolyPanelPentagonOriginal is compatible with Devon's design. I found that it was just a bit too big. If you make a box of two pentagons and 5 squares you see that the squares have to warp in quite a bit to attach. So I made a PolyPanelPentagon be the size that doesn't cause that warping.
NOTE: This library does create some 2-manifold warnings, I haven't noticed any printing problems. I may try to clean up in the future.
Printed with 0.2mm layer heights just fine. PLA, HTPLA, and ABS.
