After half a year i finally found time to learn OpenSCAD and recreate the Flying Combat Platform: Now fully parametric, so you can customize the model to fit your needs.
I also included a new middle platform.
Parameters you can change include the size of the squares, the number of squares in a platform and the tolerances (and other aspects) of the connecting pieces.
The .stl provided is my standard layout with a 4x4 base, a 3x3 middle and a 2x2 top platform.
The design is a work in progress, i'd appreciate your feedback!
Edits:
- v0.8 – fixed a small bug on the flipped top version, where the other platforms would not lay flat on the bed
- v0.7 – added a flipped version of the top, on which the connector doesn't stick out of the top. Change the variable _flippedTop to true, if you want to generate a flipped top platform.
- v0.6 – added variables for the number of rows in a platform to support irregular bases (e.g. 1x2 squares)
- v0.5 – fixed small errors regarding correct use of tolerances for pins and holes of the connectors
- v0.4 – fixed a small error in the .scad for connecting pieces larger than the squares
- v0.3 – now with connecting pieces, that i totally failed to include before.
