UPC Barcode Generator

thingiverse

WAT? = This is a importable module that allows one to create a physical barcode object with just the barcode number as input. Though there is an option to make this as a keyring object, you can just print the bars/lines to embed on any other 3d object of your choice. My main personal purpose for this is to print / laser cut grocery store VIP "cards". Not just any VIP card though, an anonymized VIP card (even with digits ending in 2600). The larger goal is to get everyone I know to use the same VIP card (polluting their customer database with one large anomalous customer ;) One note, by default, you want to print in a dark color and supply a light/white background, I usually just put it up to my arm when scanning (my arm would be the spaces, since I have a paler complexion). If you have a darker complexion, use the inverse argument to the barcode() command and it will print the spaces instead of lines. Use a plastic color of white or red (scanners see it as equivalent to white) and your skin will be the lines. The red keychain gallery image is an example of this. to use the .scad in your own project, here is a sample program: Frys Card Example: = use ; // import the module //my frys barcode number //height of 35 //stretch width multiplier of 1 //make it keychain shaped (1) //don't inverse lines/spaces (0) //and this is not meant for dxf laser cutter export(0) barcode(462409702600,35,1,1,0,0); Arguments = Explanation of arguments in order: barcode = this is the 12 digit barcode height = the thickness(tallness) of the physical object (assuming 3d-print) stretch = This is how long you want the object to be keychain = keychain bit, 0 if no, 1 if yes inverse = will make the "spaces" the solid (good when a darker background is used) 0 is default of no, 1 means yes laser = 0 if this is a normal 3d printed file, 1 if this is to be exported to dxf for laser cutter Help Me! = I want to have a collection of 12-digit grocery store VIP card barcode numbers. You can help me by giving me only the first 6 of the 12 digits (it should start with the number 4) and I can generate an anonymized version that ends with the digits 2600 (taking checksum into account). Just post your VIP cards in the comments section. Please don't post all 12 digits; that would be your whole VIP card, just the first 6 digits (4xxxxx). I can scout for stores in my area, but I don't have access to some of the more regionalized ones (for instance, I don't have a Piggly Wiggly...or whatever that store is, and yes, if you have one around: I want). Current VIP card list = Below is a list of barcode numbers in my collection so far. Don't fret if you don't have a printer. Just go to any barcode printing website (i.e. http://www.barcoding.com/upc/) and print it on paper if you still want to use these. Frys/Safeway: 420033402600 Bashes:490029402600 CVS: 487817302600
