3D model description

This is a first example of this library which shows how easy it is to use it for Meccano(R) projects.

The code for this object was 5 lines in OpenSCAD! This is due to reuse of libraries. I hope this encourages people to use such libraries and perhaps create Lego to Meccano interfaces and such!

See the robot-tilt-webcam.scad file for the implementation. See the part this is derived from to find my original Meccano Lib. See ballJoint.scad for a ballJoint script. It is currently only used for the ball, but the joint can be used equally easily.

3D printing settings

//Includes:
< openMeccanoLib.scad > //without the spaces!
< ballJoint.scad >

//Code that generates the posted STL:
ballsize=12.5/2; //12.54/2;
translate([0,0,ballsize+3]) ball(ballsize);

for(i=[1:3])
rotate([0,0,i*(360/3)])
translate([-hole_pitch/2,-hole_pitch*1.5,0]) L_beam(1,1,3);
