File Contents

• miter_profile() – Creates a miter profile
• miter_tubes() – Generates a sequence of mitered tubes

Module: miter_profile()

Synopsis: Creates a miter profile

Usage: As Module

• miter_profile(length,height,depth);

Description:

Generates a flexible battery holder for 'n' cylindrical batteries with complex features like wire channels, screw holes, and contact points.

Arguments:

By Position	What it does
length	Length
height	Height
depth	Depth

Example 1: Simple Case

include <metalib.scad>;
miter_profile(length=200, height=30, depth=20);

Module: miter_tubes()

Synopsis: Generates a sequence of mitered tubes

Description:

This module generates a sequence of mitered tubes based on the provided section lengths, with options for customizing their dimensions and unfolding their arrangement.

Arguments:

By Position	What it does
section	An array of section lengths, each specifying the length of an individual tube. Example: [10, 20, 30] will create three tubes of lengths 10, 20, and 30 units respectively.
heights	The height of each tube. This value defines the dimension perpendicular to the tube's length and depth.
depth	The depth of each tube. This value defines the dimension perpendicular to the tube's length and height.
unfold	Determines whether the sequence of tubes should be unfolded for easier visualization or fabrication. When true, the tubes are laid out in a flat arrangement. Defaults to false.

Example 1: Simple Case

include <metalib.scad>;
miter_tubes(
     sections = [800,750,800],
     height = 50,
     depth = 50,
     start=false,
     end=false,
     unfold = false,
     quote=true
 );
