2026-07-26 (Su) EleKSCo REV05 Pipe and blade models

I started modeling in OpenSCAD. I started with a pipe, since it was the simplest component and everything else has to accommodate it. One feature of OpenSCAD is transparency, which renders the pipe as see-through and lets me model parts partially inside the pipe. The blades were the next model. Neither of these parts will be printed, but I wanted to have models for demonstrating and constraining other components. The blades will be made from aluminum bar stock I can buy at the hardware store. I purchased thick polycarbonate tubes so I can add countersunk bolts that will sit flush. I may have to trim down the aluminum stock to fit into the handle, but it should be a very sturdy build.
