The chamfer argument // lets you control whether the model edges are chamfered. By default all edges are chamfered, // but you can set it to "bot" to chamfer only the bottom, so that connections to a model larger // than the plate doin't have a V-groove at the junction. The plate is 10.5 mm thick. // Arguments: // chamfer = "none" for no chamfer, "all" for full chamfering, and "bot" or "bottom" for bottom chamfering. Default: "all". // Examples: // manfrotto_rc2_plate(); // manfrotto_rc2_plate("bot"); module manfrotto_rc2_plate(chamfer="all",anchor,orient,spin) { chsize=0.5; dummy = assert(in_list(chamfer, ["bot","bottom","all","none"]), "chamfer must be \"all\", \"bottom\", \"bot\", or \"none\""); chamf_top = chamfer=="all"; chamf_bot = in_list(chamfer, ["bot","bottom","all"]); length = 52.5; innerlen=43; topwid = 37.4; botwid = 42.4; thickness = 10.5; flat_height=3; angled_size=5; angled_height = thickness - flat_height*2; angled_width = sqrt(angled_size^2-angled_height^2); corner_space = 25; corner_space_ht = 4.5; left_top=2; pts = turtle([ "move",botwid, "left", "move", flat_height, "xymove", [-angled_width, angled_height], "move", flat_height, "left", "move", topwid, "left", "move", left_top, "jump", [0,flat_height] ]); cutout_len=26; facet = [ back(-left_top,select(pts,-3)), each fwd(1.5,select(pts,-2,-1)), [-10,-left_top+select(pts,-1).y], left(10,back(-flat_height,select(pts,-3))) ]; attachable(anchor,spin,orient,size=[botwid,length,thickness],size2=[topwid,length],shift=[.64115/2,0]){ tag_scope() down(thickness/2) diff() linear_sweep(pts,h=length,convexity=4,orient=FWD,anchor=FWD){ tag("remove"){ zflip_copy() down(.01)fwd(.01)left(.01)position(LEFT+FRONT+BOT) cuboid([corner_space,(length-innerlen)/2,thickness+.02], chamfer=-chsize, orient=FWD,anchor=TOP+LEFT+FWD,edges=chamf_top?"ALL":TOP); fwd(left_top)position(LEFT+BACK)linear_sweep(h=cutout_len,facet,convexity=4,anchor=RIGHT+BACK); } if (chamf_bot){ edge_mask(FRONT+LEFT)chamfer_edge_mask(length,chsize); edge_mask(FRONT+RIGHT)chamfer_edge_mask(length,chsize); edge_mask(FRONT+TOP)chamfer_edge_mask(length,chsize); edge_mask(FRONT+BOT)chamfer_edge_mask(length,chsize); edge_mask(TOP+RIGHT)chamfer_edge_mask(length,chsize); edge_mask(BOT+RIGHT)chamfer_edge_mask(length,chsize); zflip_copy(){ right(corner_space)edge_mask(TOP+LEFT) chamfer_edge_mask(length,chsize); down((length-innerlen)/2)edge_mask(TOP+LEFT) chamfer_edge_mask(length,chsize); } } if (chamf_top){ edge_mask(BACK+LEFT) chamfer_edge_mask(length,chsize); edge_mask(BACK+RIGHT) chamfer_edge_mask(length,chsize); edge_mask(BACK+TOP) chamfer_edge_mask(length,chsize); edge_mask(BACK+BOT) chamfer_edge_mask(length,chsize); } } children(); } }
