## Assembly
Pre-generated STLs for roughly 200mm^3, and 100mm^3 rack frames can be found in [stl/rack](stl/rack).
Pre-generated STLs for roughly 200mm^3 (mini), 170mm^3 (micro), and 100mm^3 (nano) rack frames can be found in [stl](stl).
These STLs are generated from the files in [rack/print](rack/print), and [rack-mount/print](rack-mount/print) - further information about printing these parts
(supports, orientation) can be found in their respective `.scad` files.
(supports, orientation) can be found in these files.
### Assembly Instructions
Please see [the assembly README here](./assembly)
Please see [the assembly README here](./assembly-guide)
### Required Tools:
- 3d FDM Printer - build size requirements depend on configure rack size. (TODO explain)
- 3d FDM Printer - build size requirements depend on configured rack profile
- M3 Allen Key
- M4 Allen Key
### BOM - Single Rack:

#### Notes:
#### Notes:
- 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.
- For joining two racks, you will need 8 M3 hex nuts, and 8 M3x10 FHCS (TODO confirm)
- For joining two racks, you will need 8 M3 hex nuts, and 8 M3x12 FHCS.
- Main front rails use M4 hex nuts and screws.
- Side rails are mounted using M3 hex nuts and screws
- Side rails are mounted using M3 hex nuts and screws.
## Configuring + Generating STLs
WIP
A python script: `rbuild.py` is provided to generate different project stls.
Requirements:
- `openscad` cli command (Only runs on Linux)
- `python3`
`python3 rbuild.py --help`
### Examples:
Generate all project files for the `mini` profile:
`python3 rbuild.py -b all -c micro`
Generate specific part:
`python3 rbuild.py -b yBar`
Generated stls are put into the `stl/` directories. The actual variable values for different profiles can be found in
[rack/profiles.scad](rack/profiles.scad).
