Plate
Holes
Plus one goal hole at the top, with an engraved ring around it. Same size as the others.
Text up the sides Engraved between the plate edge and the string, reading from the bottom up. Each line is scaled to fill its strip. Leave a field empty for no text on that side.
Base A small box with a sloping top in front, for the controls. Its side plates run on behind it, lower, with two slots the plate stands in: one upright, one leaning back. More →
Outer sizes of the box. The plate stands in slots in both side plates, so it has to be at least as wide as the base.
Advanced settings
Motor holes
The strings hang straight down from here, so the side text goes in the strip outside them.
Spacing
No holes closer to a string than the clearance, and none in the start zone where the bar rests at the beginning.
Hole rings
Rings with the same hole as the plate's holes and two small screw holes on top. They're in the plate's file, next to the plate. Set 0 for none.
Goal
Base: material
Base: behind the box
Slot positions are measured from the back of the box to the front edge of each slot, at the top. The leaning slot tilts back, so its bottom sits a little further forward.
Base: buttons on the top
“From the front edge” is measured to the nearest edge of each hole. The text starts this far above the middle of its hole, so the button's collar clears it; 20 mm leaves room for a collar up to about 33 mm across.
Base: wire holes
One hole at each end of the back wall, right beside the side wall, for the cable from that side's motor.
Layout
Last seed used: –
Changing sizes keeps the current layout's seed; only “Generate new layout” picks a new one (or the seed above, if set).
