An OpenSCAD script to create models of shipping containers for home design.
* Specify the container size (20' or 40')
* Specify the container height (standard or High Cube)
* Specify the scale e.g. 1:100
* Decide if you want the 'ridges' or not
* Decide if you want a roof lid printing or not
* Define any number of openings, windows, internal walls and text
To define various aspects of the container, find the 'CONTAINER = [' line in the script, then add as many items as you like (the script comes with a sample - you'll obviously want to replace the items, but they serve as a good example of how to create a container).
### Opening
A hole in the container from floor to ceiling.
*Example:*
`opening(dir="s", x=0.25, width=4),`
- dir: the side you want the opening on... "n", "s", "e", "w"
- x: the position (in m) to start the opening
- width: the width (in m) of the opening
### Window
A window in the container (you'll need to include platforms when slicing)
