Handling library of in build features in OpenSCAD Model

I wanted to use OpenSCAD to make some 3D configurable models, bunch of library cut outs on a plate etc for 3D printing. How is best to “database” these in the file/store?

·       Looked at bunch of DXFs but they still need metadata and if I want an online configurator but seems easier way.

·       I understand I can import a JSON but there is still external dependency and they needs

·       A lot of people just seem to draw which matches as the way of selecting multiple options is limited in the configurator anyway.

At this point I was going to just hand draw each class which seems to be what others have done do but I thought I would ask around for the best methods out there. Its 2D shape and cuts for plates etc.

Adapter for Levitron SMC

I was going to put an Opengrid base inside a Levitron SMC. The levitron has 1/4inch mount holes at an odd spacing. What is the best way to do this?

  1. Print a snap in adapter with pins - normal way but prefer to leave all the
  2. mount what I can to pin standard pin points
  3. print a back section then mount pins.

Would do this out of the wall to ensure clamped securely. Have a H2D and happy with CAD, best form of engineering is always copying/cheating and when Iooking I did not find a good arrangement to copy.
