Version 1.1.0

For the 1/64 scale variant.

Add a low-level config option to render large-curve tiles full size instead of a split in halves, and add parts for both modes. Add larger curves with ratios 3 and 4.

Move config options that were low-level to the constants. Also, refactor the way curves are placed, unify the way sets of elements are built, and improve naming consistency. Rework a bit the animated pictures.

Version 1.0.0

Add a variant of the race track system for 1/64 to 1/76 scale RC cars.

scale 64

This variant can be fully printed, barriers and ground included. It still comes with a modular approach, each element being able to be printed separately. Full tiles can also be printed all at once (barriers + ground).

Regarding the changes impacting the whole project:

  • The structure and the config have been unified, common config is available at the top level.
  • The script files also got unified, with support added for post-processing scripts.
  • Readme files are provided with details for each variant.

Version 0.5.0

Finalize the extract of the race track system for 1/24 to 1/32 scale RC cars from the repository jsconan/things.

  • Fix a typo in some comments.
  • Use the shared internal shape linkProfile instead of redefining it in barrierLinkProfile.
  • Add a default printer config for the slicer.
  • Add a slicer script.

Notes:

Version 0.4.2

Fixed design of the race track system for 1/24 to 1/32 scale RC cars.

  • Fix the length of the special barrier body related to a U-turn compensation barrier.

Notes:

Version 0.4.1

Fixed design of the race track system for 1/24 to 1/32 scale RC cars.

  • Fix a computation issue on the number of notches for the straight barrier holders (when the length is a multiple of the normal size)
  • Improve the design of the U-turn barrier holders by adding a pocket to prevent round edges on the slot near the tower
  • Dispatch the "special" shapes into more appropriate files (arch and connector)

Notes:

Version 0.4.0

Improved design of the race track system for 1/24 to 1/32 scale RC cars.

  • Encapsulate the shapes into final modules
  • Add sizing functions
  • Add more printer constraints (size of the printer's plate)
  • Add print plates for sets of elements
  • The file structure has been updated.
  • Add a special barrier connector to link barrier holders to unibody barriers (straight version only)
  • The render script has been reworked, adding more options

Notes:

Version 0.3.0

Improved design of the race track system for 1/24 to 1/32 scale RC cars.

  • The file structure has been updated.
  • A new kind of barrier has been added, defining a unibody variant: each track element is built from a single piece instead of 3.
  • The render script has been reworked, adding more options
  • The track can now have curves that are not directly related to the width lanes
  • Add wavy flags in the set of accessories

Notes:

Version 0.2.0

Improved design of the race track system for 1/24 to 1/32 scale RC cars.

  • The file structure has been updated.
  • The link between parts has been reworked for a better track cohesion.
  • The profiles have been redesigned.
  • A distinction is made between the inner and outer curves and the parts can be resized to a multiple of the main length.
  • Added shapes:
    • Straight track chunks: simple and double length
    • Curved track chunks: inner, outer, small, short, U-turn
    • Special track chunks: arch to constraint the track width between two sides, U-turn compensation
    • Track samples to draw a model of the track (default scaled to 1/10)
    • Track accessories: led-clip, mast, flag

Notes:

Version 0.1.0

Design a race track system for 1/24 to 1/32 scale RC cars.
