Description
Inspired by the work of AndrewBougie, I thought I'd have a go at creating a parametric version of a stylistically similar set of drawers, and learn how to use OpenSCAD at the same time.
These parameters are all in mm:
These parameters have to be kept in sync, each is an array, and each element in the array describes a row of drawers
You can replicate AndrewBougie's first design by using the following settings:
As you can see each parameter's array has two sub-arrays, and each of these sub-arrays describes a single row of drawers in the final model.
Reading widths "[[1, 1], [2]]" we can then decode the meaning:
[1, 1]: two drawers on the first row, both being one unit wide
[2]: Only one drawer on the second row, but this one is two units wide.
Reading heights tells us that all drawers are a single unit high
Reading dividers tells us that all drawers have a single divider.
Finally, reading handles tells us the two drawers on the first row have a single handle each, and the wider drawer on the second row has two handles
Now you know what you are doing, you can get all super complex!
Here we have 4 then 2 then 1 drawer on each of the rows.
The drawers get taller with each row 2 units, then 3 units then 4 units.
Two of the small drawers have no dividers, the other have a single divider, the double width drawers have 2 dividers, and the largest drawer has three dividers.
And finally, the small drawers all have a single handle, while all the bigger ones have two handles.
Allows you to examine parts of your print.
