I created a Parametric Periodic Table Keychain Generator (My first OpenSCAD project) - Feedback
makerworld.comI built this tool that lets you generate custom 3D-printable keychains using chemical element symbols from the Periodic Table. You input a word (e.g., Ge-Ni-U-S, Ir-O-N, La-B), and the script verifies if it's mathematically possible, auto-scales the text, and renders the tiles.
I wanted to share it here to get your feedback and suggestions on how to improve the project. This is my first time coding in OpenSCAD, and I know I have a lot to learn. Any advice on optimizing the code or the physical model design is highly appreciated.
If you like it, feel free to use it and share your prints. Support and constructive criticism from the community are the most rewarding parts of this process.
