The original dactyl keyboard model at https://github.com/adereth/dactyl-keyboard is written in clojure that generates OpenSCAD. I found it difficult to edit:
- Clojure is not a common language.
- It takes at least half an hour to render any changes.
- The build chain has a lot of dependencies.
So I ported the model to OpenJSCAD. Unfortunately as this is a direct port, it contains just as much copy-pasted as the original clojure source.
The original clojure version depended on OpenSCAD's 3d convex hulls. OpenJSCAD lacks native support for both of those features. So this project includes a port of quickhull3d and all of its dependencies with minor modifications for OpenJSCAD. The clojure version also depended on OpenSCAD's 2d-to-3d projections. I wrote a simple projection function that is good enough for this project, but possibly not stable enough for arbitrary shapes.
To render the OpenJSCAD files:
- Download them.
- Visit https://openjscad.org
- Drag the files onto the box that says, "drop one or more supported files here."
