remix and update of the original parametric drill bit stand
Full credit to the original designer, and to the people he credits.
work in progress
as I was organising my drills, special drills and taps, I came across the limitations of the original code and started adding new features. I hope somebody finds them useful
improved:
-changed assign commands to let commands (current version threw warnings that assign is outdated and might not function in future versions)
-removed some unused code lines and variables, cleanup of the code
-now uses text command. previous version predates that command? A huge improvement on preview speed, versatility, and ease of use.
added new features:
-possibility to create custom labeling (number, text, blank label)
-variable width dependent on the hole size (saves a lot of space
-hole size and labeling can be different, and do not have to be in ascending or descending order
practical side:
-use openSCAD (free download) to customise for your own needs. some insight in the source code will help you to understand and customize. I will try to comment and document
-might work with the customizer, but I have not tested this
-I printed this with PLA, seems strong enough, even with low infill
To do:
-add pictures and what not to this description (hey - give me a break, my first upload)
-add some examples showcasing the possibilities
-optional wall mount bracket
