no particular reference for this, just took some "slashes" and cut them
out of the walls with the expectation of using the inner wall in a
different color. designed, as much as I'd call it a design, for the Eva
stick, but this is mostly just me trying stuff at the moment

essentially, the whole inner wall and part of the outer wall gets cut
out of the piece, and a new inner wall piece (probably printed in a
different color, or with some design of its own) created that can be
seen through the outer wall's window
multiple window and inner options are possible, this is just the start
while I do other organization

I'm going to move all of the .scad files into subdirectories and I
couldn't figure out how to recurse properly in make, so... do it the
easy way
make is hard, let's go shopping

box pieces having a 45 degree cut for the corners looks very nice, and
works well, but the cut interferes with the extended piece options, so
this reuses the pieces to take ones with the 45 degree lip cut off,
which would be combined with the flush extended pieces, much like how
things used to work for these pieces before I made the box pieces use
said cut.
this also commits a demo of combining everything extended-style
phew

I'm going to need to duplicate and edit the top/bottom pieces in
order to create better extended pieces, so this moves them into
something explicitly-named. next commit will fix the extended pieces

this makes them meet at the corner at a 45 degree angle, rather than the
side having the whole wall, which tended not to print well. the behavior
of the extended walls, where the whole side is on the extended side
piece, is retained --- this only affects the box walls

this is just to line up with the frame/panel mount column a bit better
and remove some weird geometry
Signed-off-by: Brian S. Stephan <bss@incorporeal.org>
in addition to renaming a number of the frame pieces, and adjusting the
pieces affected by those renames, this tweaks how the interlocking
pieces are designed by using 1/3 of the inner z of the frame rather than
dividing up the outer z. this is more consistent and might be a relevant
tweak in a later part I'm working on

for stability, could be decorated more in the future, that kind of
thing, but this works right now so I'll commit it before I go breaking
things

I didn't use this in a build, but the panels work. there might be some
misalignment with the interconnect, still, but I'm thinking of redoing
that piece anyway. I think these files are good at least.

the previous cutout ran the height of the interior, meaning that if you
looked straight down a top panel edge, if the fit wasn't perfect, you
could see some gaps, as the lip that the panel was resting on had gaps
in it. this eliminates that, and makes the pieces with neutrik cutouts a
bit more stable, by just shortening the cutout box and retaining a
little lip for the panels across the whole box
slightly harder to get around with buttons that way, but definitely a
net improvement

previous design worked fine, but it's just so tiny, a slight breeze
would sometimes knock the stick off
Signed-off-by: Brian S. Stephan <bss@incorporeal.org>
this is basically just a little wedge to display the stick on. I really
like using three since they're not secured to anything, but I might make
a plate to put them in next, for a bit more stability

so, that mount wouldn't have even been printable for anyone else anyway,
that's good, but this breaking out of a piece might as well be committed

the friction fit is too unreliable, and it took minimal kid aura to have
the whole thing toppling over. I will make a more stable mount at a
minimum later, so this thing goes into the TODO pile for now

this is still a very solid piece compared to the old method of a diamond
through the middle, and comes with two benefits:
1. semicircle cut out of the bottom (or top) means that wiring can be
run over rather than through, simplifying some (dis)assembly, and...
2. semicircle on the bottom, and offset from the center, should allow
for designs with a button in the center of the x-axis, rather than
having to leave room for the frame wall. this might facilitate
directional arc layouts where the buttons are combined in one shape

the panels had posts that would drive into the frame column (the frame
column needing to be a bit wider at the top and bottom accodringly).
this was an attempt to assist the friction fit of the whole stick in
tandem by having the panels contribute to the position and rigidity of
the frame pieces. in practice I think this didn't really contribute
anything major to that problem, and instead made the panels hard to
connect, and way harder to remove, while also having a visual defect in
that the panels were usually separated slightly due to having to fit
exactly in the frame columns.
this goes back to the old design where the base panel is a flat sheet
and the frame column holes are uniform. everything seems nicer this way,
and the overall build is simpler.

doesn't seem to be any real gain in changing them, having done more
prints with those settings and with stock settings.

also add a blurb about what I believe satisfies the GPLv3 in any
distribution of the object files and/or objects themselves, since I'm
beginning to think about how to send sticks to other people

still playing with these a bit, but test prints yields some promising
shapes, just need to do a build with them to confirm I like it
