Tubular Structures
==================
This project aims to build a number of useful structures out of easily
sourceable aluminium tubes that easily fit in the boot of a compact car
and custom 3Dprinted joints.
Already buildable structures include a number of banner stands and
parasols.
Instructions
------------
### Building the 3D models
To generate the .stl files for each piece you need Make (tested with
[GNU Make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/)) and
[OpenSCAD](http://www.openscad.org/); one you have installed these
dependencies just run:
$ make
from the root directory of this repository and wait.
Example settings for [Slic3r](http://slic3r.org/) are available in the
conf directory: you can load them in Slic3r, change the settings
(expecially those related to the printer) and re-export them in place.
Then you can use:
$ make gcode
from the root directory of the repository to generate .gcode files which
can be sent to your printer.
### Assembly
To assembly most structures you'll need a number of 1m long aluminium
tubes; the models assume that they are 16mm in diameter, but they can be
customized.
### Readme
The file README.md is generated from README.rst with:
pandoc -o README.md README.rst
and is included in the repo for the benefit of gitorious.
