Electrical Box Twist Model
Description
This Is My Second Attempt At Understanding The Operations In Openscad. I Made A Model Of A 4" Square Electrical Box With A Raised Plaster Ring In Autocad And Then Exported To An Stl. I Couldn'T Get Emmett'S Heart Gears File To Work, So I Basically Destroyed The Original Cubegears3 Code Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:10483 Until It Didn'T Work Either. I Rebuilt It Enough To Get The Result I Was Looking For. I Made Both The Gear1 And Gear2 Module Accept X And Z Rotation Inputs (1 Or 2), And Then Added Some Rotation Code Inside Those Modules, The Twogears Module, And The Assembly Module To Make Them Behave For A Non Cube Object. I Added An Object Module That Loads A Custom Stl File And Orients It For Gear Mashup. I Am Still Not Clear On The Way The Relationship Between The Overall Model, The Center And Pins Is Determined. I Cheated And Just Tweaked The Center Cube Until It Looked Like I Wanted, And Then I Measured The Necessary Pin Length And Used The Pins Library To Make One. I Have Not Posted This Revised Code, Because I Don'T Really Feel That It Is Any Way An Improvement Over The Original. I May Post It If Requested, Or If I Can Work Some Of The Remaining Bugs Out. The Center Stl Has Emmett'S Original Slits, But I Reoriented It In Such A Way To Make Them Not Work As Originally Intended. It Is Ok, Because It Cleans Up Easily, And I Made The Center Pins Captured Anyway.
