LowRider 3 CNC, LR3 Release notes

@jeffeb3, @vicious1, sorry for not being clearer earlier, late night.

Short: ALL the Struts have been generated, 480mm…1700mm in 1mm increments, submitted to git (here and here), along with a modified version of @jamiek script. Submitted LR3 Calc Pull request referencing these .SVGs to create slicker than snot SVG download UX for LR3 builders.

Long:
I created https://github.com/aaronse/v1engineering-mods/…/lowrider3/strut-plate-variable yesterday. Made a slightly modified version of Jamie’s LR3-strut-plate-variable.scad in that repo that could be called through command line automation of OpenSCAD.

Generated ALL the Struts, 480mm…1700mm in 1mm increments. Within Windows cmd shell:

for /l %i in (480,1,999) do "C:\Program Files\OpenSCAD\openscad.exe" --D "beam_len=%i" -q -o out_0\lr3-strut-plate-variable_%i.svg LR3-strut-plate-variable.scad

for /l %i in (1000,1,1700) do "C:\Program Files\OpenSCAD\openscad.exe" --D "beam_len=%i" -q -o out_1\lr3-strut-plate-variable_%i.svg LR3-strut-plate-variable.scad

Committed and push the generated .SVG files to /svg_0 and /svg_1 within the v1engineering-mods repo.

Then made some changes to the LR3 Calculator that point Users to these generated .SVG files. Sent this V1E Docs pull request with those edits.

I didn’t stumble onto where Jamie maintains LR3-strut-plate-variable.scad within his git repos @ https://github.com/vector76
