Using OpenScad to design Adafruit Trellis casing
Hey there! Spent some time using OpenScad - 3d design tool. All 3d objects designed programmatically. It was a bit of a pain. I'll probably stick with something as Autodesk Fusion 360 in the future.
The advantage of OpenScad is that you can parameterize your 3d model. For example Trellis box has a number of buttons parameterized: you can easily change from 4x4 to 8x4 or 8x8 or other... It also has height, thickness, etc. parameterized. It means that adjusting the model size should be quite easy.
You can use OpenScad to export design into STL and 3d print it.
Below is the screen capture from OpenScad for Trellis 3d model. It's also available at the github link.
And here is one of the earlier version print out combined with trellis:
