#### Notes:
- Before printing the actual parts. It's recommended to print this evaluation part: [eval_P](./rack/print/eval_P.scad) to test tolerances. If you find the fits too tight/loose, you can adjust them [here](./config/slack.scad).

- Please also adjust [this file](./config/slicer.scad) to match your slicer settings.
- Omitted actual plastic for printing. Any conventional 3d printing plastic should do (PLA, PETG, ABS),
but beware of PLA's thermal limits. Higher infill is recommended for all parts.

## 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
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:
- `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 -b all -c micro`
This will build all the parts defined in [rack/print](./rack/print), and put the STLs in [stl/micro](./stl/micro).
You can also provide a `-dz {n}` parameter to adjust the height of the generated rack.
You can also provide a `-dz {n}` parameter to adjust the height of the generated rack. Configuring other rack
variables can be done in [config/rackframe.scad](./config/rackFrame.scad).
For generating a specific part:
`python3 rbuild.py -b yBar -c micro -t custom`
`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).
