7 Designing Big Projects

In this chapter, you’ll extend the lessons you’ve learned so far to build a complex design with OpenSCAD. Specifically, you’ll employ an iterative design cycle to plan and complete a larger project. First, you’ll apply computational thinking to analyze and plan your design. Then, you’ll apply the popular walking skeleton approach to evolve a low-fidelity prototype from a basic, abstract design into a highly detailed final design. Using this method, you’ll connect all the project’s major components before fleshing out each component’s individual details. As a final step, you’ll fill in the smaller details to finish ...
