This repository holds the OpenSCAD files for PVC pipe connectors used for building RaceGOW gates with 20mm conduit.

There are two ways for generating the STL files. You can either use CMake and generate them in batch or you can use the OpenSCAD built-in designer and choose from a dropdown list of connectors.

The objects can be generated in batch by running the following commands:

Linux:

cmake -B <build_dir> .
cmake --build <build_dir>

Windows:

cmake -B <build_dir> . -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="C:\Program Files\OpenSCAD"
cmake --build <build_dir>

The generated files can then be found in the <build_dir> directory.

The ABS option can be used to generate connectors for printing in ABS material. This special option will increase the size of the upward facing part of the connector by 2% to account for shrinking. If you find that factor doesn't work with your printer, you can adjust it in the CMakeLists.txt file. To make use of this option, you have to append -DABS=ON to your first (configure step) line.

Be aware that the file defaults to generating no connector at all and uses a scale factor of 1.0 to accommodate for the most general usage. If you want to generate object files for printing in ABS, you have to manually adjust the scaleFactor variable in the list of design parameters.
