Svg token generator scad

thingiverse

This is a little scad file for creating tokens out of svgs. I used it to create tokens for our game of "The Sprawl". Since I didn't want to use the same symbol every time I had to improvise. Also I wanted to learn to use OpenSCAD so win-win. In the picture you see cred-, intel- and gear-tokens. Changing the filament in the middle of the print makes the tokens even prettier. For copyright reasons I can't upload the svg and stls seen in the picture. But I uploaded three sample stls made with the script. You can find lots of svgs down below in the attribution link. Beware: This does not work with every svg. Best are plain black & white icons. # Creating your own models To create your own models just put the `.svg`s in the same directory as the `token.scad`. ## Manually Open the `token.scad` file in OpenSCAD and change filename variable in the first line to the name of the svg. Save and OpenSCAD should render the token. Just export it from there as usual. ## Automatically Run OpenSCAD from the commandline like so `openscad -D 'filename="example.svg"' -o example.stl token.scad`. Under Linux I use `find` to traverse a whole folder. For example `find ./ -name "*.svg" -exec openscad -D 'filename="{}"' -o {}.stl token.scad \;` (Make sure you didn't set a fixed filename in the first line, as described in the *Manually* block above)
