After half a year i finally found time to learn OpenSCAD and recreate the Flying Combat Platform: Now fully parametric, so you can customize the model to fit your needs.

I also included a new middle platform.

Parameters you can change include the size of the squares, the number of squares in a platform and the tolerances (and other aspects) of the connecting pieces.

The .stl provided is my standard layout with a 4x4 base, a 3x3 middle and a 2x2 top platform.

The design is a work in progress, i'd appreciate your feedback!

Edits:

  • v0.8 – fixed a small bug on the flipped top version, where the other platforms would not lay flat on the bed
  • v0.7 – added a flipped version of the top, on which the connector doesn't stick out of the top. Change the variable_flippedTop to true, if you want to generate a flipped top platform.
  • v0.6 – added variables for the number of rows in a platform to support irregular bases (e.g. 1x2 squares)
  • v0.5 – fixed small errors regarding correct use of tolerances for pins and holes of the connectors
  • v0.4 – fixed a small error in the .scad for connecting pieces larger than the squares
  • v0.3 – now with connecting pieces, that i totally failed to include before.

How I Designed This

OpenSCAD

While the initial model was created in blender, this file was recreated from scratch in OpenSCAD so it can be customized and future iterations can be created more easily.
