Building blocks for making labels.

Module: MakeStripedGrid()

Topics: Label

Usage:

• MakeStripedGrid(20,50);

Description:

Creates a background striped grid, this is used in the label space generation.

Arguments:

By Position	What it does
width	width of the grid space
length	length of the grid space
bar_width	width of the bars (default 1)

Example 1:

include <boardgame_toolkit.scad>
MakeStripedGrid(20, 50);

Module: Make3dStripedGrid()

Topics: Label

Usage:

• Make3dStripedGrid(20,50);

Description:

Creates a background striped grid, this is used in the label space generation.

Arguments:

By Position	What it does
width	width of the grid space
length	length of the grid space
bar_width_top	width of the bars (default 1)
bar_width_bottom	height of the bar (default bar_width_top)

Example 1:

include <boardgame_toolkit.scad>
Make3dStripedGrid(width = 20, length = 50, height = 1);

Example 2:

include <boardgame_toolkit.scad>
Make3dStripedGrid(width = 20, length = 50, height = 0.2, bar_width_bottom = 1);

Module: MakeStripedLidLabel()

Topics: Label

Usage:

• MakeStripedLidLabel(20, 80, 2, label="Australia", border = 2, offset = 4);

Description:

Makes a label inside a striped grid to use in the lid. It makes a label with a border and a striped grid in the background to keep the label in plave.

Arguments:

By Position	What it does
width	width of the label section
length	length of the label section
lid_thickness	height of the lid/label
label	the text of the label
border	how wide the border is around the label (default 2)
offset	how far in from the sides the text should be (default 4)
font	the font to use for the text (default "Stencil Std:style=Bold")
radius	the radius of the corners on the label section (default 5)
full_height	full height of the lid (default false)

Example 1:

include <boardgame_toolkit.scad>
MakeStripedLidLabel(width = 20, length = 80, lid_thickness = 2, label = "Australia");

Example 2:

include <boardgame_toolkit.scad>
MakeStripedLidLabel(width = 20, length = 80, lid_thickness = 2, label = "Australia", full_height = true);

Module: FingerHoleBase()

Usage: FingerHoldBase(10, 20);

Description:

Creates a hole in the floor of the box with a rounding over at the top to allow for picking up of cards and other things. Center on the side of the wall and the radius of the main section is the offset to the middle.

Arguments:

By Position	What it does
radius	radius of the hole
height	height of the wall
wall_thickness	this is used as an offset to move in from the wall by this amount to cut through it (default 2)
rounding_radius	rounding radius at the top of the hole (default 3)
orient	orintation of the hole, from BSOL2 (default UP)
spin	spin of the hole, from BSOL2 (default 0)
anchor	location to anchor everything (from BSOL2)

Example 1:

include <boardgame_toolkit.scad>
FingerHoleBase(10, 20);

Example 2:

include <boardgame_toolkit.scad>
FingerHoleBase(10, 20, rounding_radius = 7);
