## Trays, Boxes, etc
Some parametric trays and support rails for your rack can be found in [rack-mount/print](./rack-mount/print).
These files are currently pretty rough around the edges. However, they still make a great jumping off point for designing
rack-mount items.
## Configuring + Generating STLs ## Configuring + Generating STLs
A python script: [rbuild.py](./rbuild.py) is provided to generate different project stls. A python script: [rbuild.py](./rbuild.py) is provided to generate different project stls. **Before running the script**, please
configure the path to the OpenSCAD binary in [rbuild.py](./rbuild.py).
Requirements: Requirements:
- `openscad` cli (Currently only supported on Linux/Mac). Please configure the path to the OpenSCAD binary in [rbuild.py](./rbuild.py) - `openscad` cli command (Currently only supported on Linux/Mac).
- `python3` - `python3`

`rbuild.py` also support an optional `--nightly` flag, which means the build script will use the `openscad-nightly` command, instead of `openscad`. `rbuild.py` also support an optional `--nightly` flag, which will run a nightly build of OpenSCAD. Please make sure the
path to the nightly build is also configured in [rbuild.py](./rbuild.py).
