time_out_cards

time_out_card.scad

Description

This OpenSCAD script generates customizable time-out cards for handball matches, compliant with official handball rules. Each team (Home and Away) is allowed one time-out per period, including extra time.

The script supports two output formats:

• SVG: For use with vinyl cutters or laser engravers.
• STL: For 3D printing, including multi-color designs and stencils.

Features

• Fully adjustable card dimensions and layer heights.
• Customizable text for:
  1. Period: "1", "2", "3", or "E" (Extra time).
  2. Team: "H" (Home) or "A" (Away)
• Four distinct modules for various use cases:
  • svg: Outline for cutting or engraving.
  • stencil: 3D-printable stencil.
  • card: Complete card with raised text for 3D printing.
  • card_text: Standalone text module for multi-material printing.

Usage

Cards can be generated interactively using the OpenSCAD customizer or automated through a script to produce an entire set (see the file generate_time_out_cards.sh for an example).

For direct customization via the command line, OpenSCAD parameters can be overridden using the -D flag:

• selector: Output type ("svg", "stencil", "card", or "card_text").
• char_period: Period (1, 2, 3, or E).
• char_team: Team ("H" or "A").
