Parametric Robotics Adapter Plate

This is an OpenSCAD(see https://openscad.org/) parametric program designed to render an adapter plate used to attach a COMPONENT (sensor, servo, motor, etc.) to the BODY of a robot. Such an adapter plate is needed when there is a mismatch between the mounting screw holes on the robot BODY and the mounting screw holes on the COMPONENT.

The default parameter values are used where the COMPONENT is YDLIDAR-X4 sensor (see https://www.ydlidar.com/products/view/5.html) and the BODY is the upper platform of a GoPiGo3 robot (see https://gopigo.io/gopigo/). The parameter values can be modified for other COMPONENT / BODY combinations.

For more information, see the "Documentation" section at the end of the OpenSCAD program code.

No supports or adhesions are needed. I used PLA filament and standard quality slicer settings (0.4 mm nozzle, 0.2 mm height, 200 C nozzle, 60 C bed, 20% infill).
