Instructions for new users

• Download the scad files and keep them in the same directory.
  
  • joints.scad is a library that creates the pins for connecting parts
  • standing_desk.scad contains the meat of the code
  • assembled.scad shows a 3D view of the assemlbed box
  • cutsheet.scad files are for generating the 2D output for actually cutting
• Open assembled.scad and optionally cutsheet.scad in OpenSCAD
• Make sure Design -> Automatic Reload and Compile is checked
• Edit plant_shelf.scad in a text editor. After saving changes the OpenSCAD windows should update.
• Play with the numbers to create the box you want. A visual representation of what the different variables do is shown below.
• Once complete render the 2D files by pressing F6
• File -> Export DXF or SVG
• The cutsheets aren't smart enough to scale for all box sizes. Some options to fix this:
  • Edit functions.scad
  • Try to drag the drawings in your CAM program. Some will support this.
  • Open the DXF or SVG in Inkscape
  • Post a copy of variables.scad on the Maslow forums. I might be able to post a fixed cutsheet module.
