Ratcheting Circular Pawl Plate Library for OpenSCAD

Generate ratcheting pawl plates (circular pawls on a disc) using this code library. The API for this library resembles the following:

    use <disc-pawls.scad>;



    disc_pawls(outer_r= 12.0,

               inner_r= 9.0,

               pawl_depth= 1.2,

               n_pawls_per_circle= 11,

               n_segments_per_pawl= 7,

               pawl_overhang= 0.4,

               base_overlap= 1.0);

You're welcome to take this code and write a customizer around it. You would typically make an end-product by writing some lightweight code around the API calls exposed by this library, employing usual OpenSCAD techniques such as union(), difference(), and intersection(). If you do use this code to create your own customizer, I would appreciate it if you gave the original author credit for his work (even though it is not required of you to do so). Please drop me a comment or a like; I want to hear from you.
REVISION HISTORY: version 1.01 (Dec 29, 2024): Initial version on Thingiverse (#6892650). Please note that changes are planned which will allow both positive and negative overhangs, but attempts will be made to preserve the existing API.
