More advanced/flexible version of gridfinity-rebuilt-bins.scad

[adamsdv]

I am developing a considerably more flexible version of gridfinity-rebuilt-bins.scad (based on gridfinity-rebuilt-bins.scad, but with a different name (my current working name is gridfinity-rebuilt-bins-advanced.scad)

It uses standard GridFinity-rebuilt project, but implements a different version of cutEqual and surfaces more options in the customizer to do things like (directly from the customizer) like thicker outer walls, thicker divider walls, uneven bin widths and a few others I'm still polishing up.

I've also included in it an easy (directly from the customizer) ability to do cross sections of the bin at virtually any location you like.
That is very helpful to explore the results of the options you have set.

I may also elaborate on the basic cutCylinders option included in the gridfinity-rebuilt-bins.scad file.

My question to the maintainers and the user community... would such an augmented file, added to the repository right beside gridfinity-rebuilt-bins.scad, be welcomed? I know the maintainers have a vision and I don't want to clash with that.

Hello, you may wish to wait a week or two. I'm also doing the same thing.

I'm happy to wait on that to see what you've got in the plans.
Maybe I can help add to that in the future too.

I'm new to contributing here on GitHub and in this project particularly. I have decades of programming experience so I'm happy to help out where I can. There does seem to be a bit of a backlog of PR's and Features/Bugs on the docket so I'm happy to look at some of these to see what I can do. I'm only planning to have one PR open at any one time and to move slowly with lots of testing before any commit and PR, with a primary focus on bugs rather than pushing in new features which might not fit the project's vision.
