- Designed a parameterized battery box/organizer for AA and AAA batteries in Autodesk Fusion.
- Reimplemented the design in OpenSCAD to learn the basics of this code-based CAD tool.
- OpenSCAD allows generating objects by writing code, making it suitable for simple, parameterized designs.
- The OpenSCAD script lets users customize the battery holder by adjusting variables like numRows, numColumns, and batteryType.
- The script creates a box with cutouts for batteries by using difference() to subtract holes from the main cube.
- The design can be easily modified for other simple geometric shapes like bearing drifts and spacers.
- Confusion noted about using let() to define variables inside loops in OpenSCAD.
