Drehkalender

A multi-lingual two tone flip calendar based on O.T. Vinta’s flip calendar.

That thing is a great idea, but i had some problems with it.

  • The fulcrums are desigend with not enough clearance for my taste
  • I can’t stand the ALL CAPS shouty month names.
  • Also, there was no German version ready
  • I like more contrast for the text
  • And the “TURN SLOWLY” and “CHANGE MONTH” will be annoying after a month or two.

So, the changes:

  • I added extra clearance to the fulcrums
  • The month text has been separated into a set of cards to be put into a month card carrier. There are several versions ready
    • English
    • German
    • Euro-Arabic numbers
    • Roman numbers
    • You can add other languages by changing the text in Monatskarten.scad in OpenSCAD and rendering it. Make sure you use a font you have.
  • The English and German texts use lower case letters.
  • The day and month cards are for two (or three) tone printing.
  • While there are »Monat drehen« and »langsam drehen« cards, i also added some random emoji to fill the backs of the extra day cards. You can change these, too, to taste. Use Tagestafel.scad and OpenSCAD. I found the “Symbola” font useful for this.
