Re: 3d Model Generators

Feel free to PM me, or reply to this thread. I am still getting the hang of the Onshape feature script(its a lot more complicated than I thought), and will probably make the generators in both Onshape and Openscad to compare between the two.
Some random ideas:

-Use the VexPro gear sizes to create a generator to automatically build a single speed gearbox plate. You can safely use the input as a CIM because there are already a decent number of ways to convert to the CIM mounting form factor.
-Double down and and make a double reduction generator... gets more complicated though.
-Generate a complete gearbox.
-Generator to punch a 1/2" hex hole completely through any arbitrary location. Why? Because 1/2" hex!
-Generator to build an arbitrarily sized WCD chassis based on known chain lengths and gearboxes.
-Alright, big one... take the JVN calculator spreadsheet and turn out generators for everything in that spreadsheet to make 3d versions of all of it using parts from VexPro and AM.
-Generator for arms of varying lengths would be cool... take a look at the Greybots RAMP videos... they do this with a side profile of a robot to get heights and stuff... it is neato and saves on whiteboard time when done right.
-Generator for enclosures for boards like the RaspberryPi, TK1, TX1, etc...

Just a few... Some of those are mighty tall orders so break them down a bit and see what comes out of them.
