Forked version of Generator for Dactyl & Dactyl Manuform Keyboards

This is a fork of the ibnuba fork of the tshort fork of the Dactyl, a parameterized, split-hand, concave, columnar, ergonomic keyboard.

Goals

1. Improve strength of kailh hotswap holder
2. Add Support for glueing LED strips to provide per-key LED RGB backlighting
3. Tweak row, and column curvatures for smaller hands.

Generate OpenSCAD and STL models

OLD

• Run lein repl
• In the repl run (load-file "src/dactyl_keyboard/common.clj") (load-file "src/dactyl_keyboard/manuform.clj")
• This will regenerate the things/*.scad files
• Use OpenSCAD to open a .scad file.
• Make changes to design, repeat load-file, OpenSCAD will watch for changes and rerender.
• When done, use OpenSCAD to render, then export model STL files which can be printed by 3d printer slicing software.

NEW (faster)

• Run lein auto generate
• This will regenerate the things/*.scad files whenever the .clr file is saved
• Use OpenSCAD to open a .scad file.
• Make changes to design in src/dactyl_keyboard/dactyl.clj, open scad files will auto regenerate, OpenSCAD will rerender.
• When done, use OpenSCAD to render, then export model STL files which can be printed by 3d printer slicing software.

Batch (parallel) Processing

• Edit the path for OpenSCAD in create-models.sh if needed
• Change any other settings for which files you want to render
• Wait for STL files to appear (this may take a minute or two)
