Parametric Shipping Container

Description

An Openscad Script To Create Models Of Shipping Containers For Home Design. * Specify The Container Size (20' Or 40') * Specify The Container Height (Standard Or High Cube) * Specify The Scale E.G. 1:100 * Decide If You Want The 'Ridges' Or Not * Decide If You Want A Roof Lid Printing Or Not * Define Any Number Of Openings, Windows, Internal Walls And Text To Define Various Aspects Of The Container, Find The 'Container = [' Line In The Script, Then Add As Many Items As You Like (The Script Comes With A Sample - You'Ll Obviously Want To Replace The Items, But They Serve As A Good Example Of How To Create A Container). ### Opening A Hole In The Container From Floor To Ceiling. *Example:* `Opening(Dir="S", X=0.25, Width=4),` - Dir: The Side You Want The Opening On... "N", "S", "E", "W" - X: The Position (In M) To Start The Opening - Width: The Width (In M) Of The Opening ### Window A Window In The Container (You'Ll Need To Include Platforms When Slicing) *Example:* `Window(Dir="N", X=0.75, Y=0.8, Width=1.8, Height=1.2),` - Dir: The Side You Want The Window On... "N", "S", "E", "W" - X: The Position (In M) To Start The Window - Y: The Height Off The Ground (In M) Of The Window - Width: The Width (In M) Of The Window - Height: The Height (In M) Of The Window ### Wall An Internal Wall In The Container. *Example:* `Wall(Dir="H", X=1, Y=1.2, Length=1.5),` - Dir: The Horizontal/Vertical Direction Of The Wall... "H", "V" - X: The Position (In M) To Start The Wall - Y: The Position (In M) To Start The Wall - Length: The Length (In M) Of The Wall ### Text Text Embedded In The Floor Of The Container (Unfortunately It Can'T *Yet* Be Rotated) *Example:* `Text(Text="Bed 1", X=3.0, Y=1.7, Size=8),` - Text: The Text To Show (Keep It Short!) - X: The Position (In M) To Start The Text - Y: The Position (In M) To Start The Text - Size: The Text Font Size Walls And Text Are A Bit Hit And Miss... Keep Adjusting The Values And Previewing The Model Until It Looks Good! Note: I'M New To This Openscad Stuff, So Happy To Hear Comments/Suggestions For Improvements :D
