Lowrider 3 mod, generate all the Struts

Forked/copied from https://github.com/aaronse/v1engineering-mods/tree/main/lowrider3/strut-plate-variable

Summary

*ALL - as in all the possible sizes that would be rationally chosen 480mm to 1700mm, in 1mm increments. - From https://docs.v1engineering.com/lowrider/calculator - Min 12” Usable Cutting Area would have 480mm Tube/Strut Length - Max 60” Usable Cutting Area would have 1700mm Tube/Strut Length

Usage

  • Generate strut .SVG files (Window CMD shell) : 
    for /l %i in (480,1,999) do "C:\Program Files\OpenSCAD\openscad.exe" --D "beam_len=%i" -q -o svg_0\lr3-strut-plate-variable_%i.svg LR3-strut-plate-variable.scad

for /l %i in (1000,1,1700) do "C:\Program Files\OpenSCAD\openscad.exe" --D "beam_len=%i" -q -o svg_1\lr3-strut-plate-variable_%i.svg LR3-strut-plate-variable.scad
  • Publish somewhere folks can access, e.g. this repo
  • Test/Verify Output. For example generate a test.html file, zoom out and scroll through, eyeball verify quality… : 
    echo ^<html^>^<style^>body {font-size:100px; white-space:nowrap }^</style^>^<body^> > test.html
for /l %i in (480,1,999) do echo ^<br/^>%i ^<img src=svg_0/lr3-strut-plate-variable_%i.svg /^> >> test.html
for /l %i in (1000,1,1700) do echo ^<br/^>%i ^<img src=svg_1/lr3-strut-plate-variable_%i.svg /^> >> test.html
echo ^</body^>^</html^> >> test.html
start test.html
