I tested it and managed to cram it all onto one panel, and the dimensions seem cromulent, so I'm going to call it supported, even if it remains unused

+## FAQ
+
+### I get a bunch of warnings on not being able to include files when I open them in OpenSCAD, what do I do?
+
+OpenSCAD pathing is relative to the current working directory by default, which is probably not the `src/` directory.
+When you start OpenSCAD, you must either start it from inside the project's `src/` directory, or point it at the path to
+the source files via e.g. `OPENSCADPATH=path/to/buildable-stick-system/src/ openscad`.

Author	SHA1	Message	Date
Brian S. Stephan	0fd3880fa2	make the 24mm ergo variant quasi-official I tested it and managed to cram it all onto one panel, and the dimensions seem cromulent, so I'm going to call it supported, even if it remains unused	2026-02-09 07:49:02 -06:00
Brian S. Stephan	d028736d5a	correct label for example photo	2026-02-09 07:44:36 -06:00
Brian S. Stephan	80ce81c465	use a smaller frame bevel in order to improve print quality the bevel was big and looked nice, but the number of layers might have been contributing to reduced print quality and increased pull on the corners of the pieces printed face down (so bevels going out as layers go up). this reduces the size of the bevel in an attempt to make the problem less pronounced. hopefully. there was also a bunch of weird math in the trapezoid frame pieces that relied on the bevel size in broken ways, so the pieces have been simplified a little bit to work right and not be affected by that otherwise unrelated parameter.

Brian S. Stephan	8b5d994847	cut some volume off of the front or back pieces where they touch sides there is a printing issue where a fat couple layers jut out a bit on the edge where the front or back piece would touch a side piece or another front or back piece, making them not connect that flushly. this removes a bit in order to let that fat layer be in a gap instead Signed-off-by: Brian S. Stephan <bss@incorporeal.org>	2026-01-03 22:18:48 -06:00
Brian S. Stephan	852cef821c	make "plate" decorative plates for ergo nine and ergo wasd 5 note that the ergo WASD 5 actually includes unused space as if it was 7 buttons, to have the inside edge be symmetrical with the ergo nine. it looked weird for the angle to cut in on one but not the other, when lined up next to each other Signed-off-by: Brian S. Stephan <bss@incorporeal.org>	2026-01-03 22:15:48 -06:00
Brian S. Stephan	bf2f8a8a17	fixing object names; these pieces are not for extended sides the object that made them "for" extended sides actually didn't do anything, either, so they've been removed Signed-off-by: Brian S. Stephan <bss@incorporeal.org>	2026-01-03 22:12:08 -06:00
Brian S. Stephan	1aea9221ff	rename some of the components for the ergo layouts I'm already regretting some of my naming choices but not enough to do anything about it right now Signed-off-by: Brian S. Stephan <bss@incorporeal.org>	2025-09-06 08:51:36 -05:00
Brian S. Stephan	ea4beca89d	move my many, many decorative plates and similar to their own dir finally making a plates/ instead of stuffing everything in misc/ Signed-off-by: Brian S. Stephan <bss@incorporeal.org>	2025-09-06 08:12:02 -05:00
Brian S. Stephan	aa92e57fe0	scoot the PCB mount a bit away from the inner wall this is mostly to accommodate some slightly longer dongles Signed-off-by: Brian S. Stephan <bss@incorporeal.org>	2025-09-05 15:13:49 -05:00
Brian S. Stephan	0d121e834a	update the demos I use to use the ergo layout Signed-off-by: Brian S. Stephan <bss@incorporeal.org>	2025-09-05 15:13:49 -05:00
Brian S. Stephan	d187312cd3	create new "ergo" layout based on a 30mm WASD layout for both left and right hands, these layouts have a WASD layout as a base, with the left and right sides pulled slightly down from the center, and with 8+ button layouts pulling down even further to match the arg for the pinky finger locations. I've been playing with this for a while, and think I like it, at least like it enough to commit it Signed-off-by: Brian S. Stephan <bss@incorporeal.org>	2025-09-05 15:13:44 -05:00
Brian S. Stephan	4c045951c7	fix some trivial markdown issues Signed-off-by: Brian S. Stephan <bss@incorporeal.org>	2025-06-20 08:20:40 -05:00
Brian S. Stephan	bcf2adcaa2	add a short FAQ to answer a question on IRC and maybe more questions in the future Signed-off-by: Brian S. Stephan <bss@incorporeal.org>	2025-06-20 08:11:34 -05:00
Brian S. Stephan	5e25a27d58	add a simple sleeve for a hex spacer that isn't wide enough I got a bag of spacers that are not as wide as what I normally use, so they rattle around in the post hole and obviously don't help with the fit of the completed stick. this sleeve seems to be right for them to fill the hole. provided in case it is useful in the future, for myself or anyone else Signed-off-by: Brian S. Stephan <bss@incorporeal.org>	2025-06-08 10:06:58 -05:00
Brian S. Stephan	462b4d45e0	some fixes and updates to the extended demo Signed-off-by: Brian S. Stephan <bss@incorporeal.org>	2025-06-01 09:35:40 -05:00
Brian S. Stephan	b0e5082064	remove the decorative corners, I don't use them Signed-off-by: Brian S. Stephan <bss@incorporeal.org>	2025-05-31 20:58:22 -05:00
Brian S. Stephan	6df2d7a84f	remove test components that were commented out while testing Signed-off-by: Brian S. Stephan <bss@incorporeal.org>	2025-05-30 16:12:41 -05:00
Brian S. Stephan	ef32076d98	rename some "control-panel" panels that are just one aux button appropriately Signed-off-by: Brian S. Stephan <bss@incorporeal.org>	2025-05-30 14:32:01 -05:00
