Wensi PV layer holder
This OpenSCAD script will generate a simple one piece fixture to hold Wensi's PV layer's PV cell, PCB and supercap. This is using the slightly newer layout and SCAP propsed on the 17th August 2011
Author: Mark Gaffney
Version: 2.2
Date: 2011-09-16
Todo:
add thin infill for hollow sections to improve printability
make slide in PV version
make 2x corner 1 middle tab PV version
make screw post PCB version
make pin post PCB version
make mushroom post PCB version
move holes for SCAP pins (2x dia=0.6+blah separation=~10-blah dist_from_bottom~=2.5-blah dist_from_sides=5-blah) and PV wires to more logcal place, also change to square, triangle or teardrop shape for better printability
remember the SCAP is now a table profile with dia~=10.5
Warning:
there is no top part for this
Changes from previous versions:
2.2
- Change cutout for trapezoidal/pyramidal shape
2.1 - Fixed some vlaues to place the support posts in corect location (up +1mm) scap leads Right +2mm
- increased post diameter for the two along one side slightly
2.0 - New layout (PCB rotated 90Degrees) and larger SCAP
- change pcb_l 30->35 pcb_b 35->30
- change scap_l 23->20 scap_b 15->22 scap_h 5->10
0.8
- add thin infill for hollow sections to improve printability
0.7 - moved entire structure above z=0 plane (no longer a destroyer of belts)
- added mouse ears
0.6 - made thinner
- fixed incorrect measurements for PV panel
0.5 - Added holes for wires between sections
0.4
- Removed plastic from centre of pv area to speed up print
0.3
- Fixed error with cutout translates due to misuse of separation and clearance variables
- Fixed error with second half of calculation of total _b using max() where I forgot to include separation
0.2
- Added support posts
0.1
- First attempt
