Description
Generate Stringer Pallets of any size to any scale you like using OpenSCAD.
The customizer is setup to easily create standard North American sizes in the following model railroading scales: O, HO, S, N and Z. But of course you can easily edit the script parameters to create any size pallet in any configuration you like at any scale you want.
I've included an STL with 50 N scale pallets (five of each of the sizes listed in the following table). The photo above shows some of those pallets printed with an Elegoo Mars 3 (print files included).
Note "Top Deck" and "Bottom Deck" list the number of boards on each side of the pallet.
