Next weekend my daughter is paying a visit. She has already told me that she needs a switch panel for her project campervan. I don’t know exactly the dimensions, number of switches or how it is to be mounted but I thought I would get the basics done.
The code is quite simple actually:
// Car Type Switch Panel
// Variables
wyd = 130; //Panel width
hyt = 55; //Panel height
thk= 2; // Panel Thickness
//Switch dimensions
sww = 22; //Switch width
swh = 36; //Switch Height
swn = 3; //Number of Switches
//Calculations
gap = (wyd - (swn*sww))/(swn+1); //distance between holes and edge
// End variables
difference(){
#translate([0,0,0]) panel();
for (x = [1:swn]) {
translate([((gap*x)+(sww*(x-1))),(hyt-swh)/2,-1]) switch();
}
}
//Panel
module panel(){
cube([wyd, hyt, thk], center= false);
}
//Switch
module switch(){
cube([sww, swh, thk*2], center= false);
}
The switch dimensions I got from the internet but will experiment when she gets here. It can accommodate any number of switches from 1 up but there is no error checking at the moment to see if they will fit on the panel. I will add error checking later.
All you do is change one variable (swn) to fit a different number of switches:
Can’t print anything yet because I don’t know exactly what is required.
