01 / Overview

What it was

The original Toolbox page presented a generator for green circuit boards with solder pads, hole centers, and edge details. It included five board sizes and a screenshot of the Blender controls.

02 / Workflow

How it worked

Choose a board

The script offered five presets, from 20 × 80 mm to 70 × 90 mm, plus custom dimensions.

Generate the model

It placed pads and hole centers on a 2.54 mm pitch, with separate edge pads.

Use it in a scene

The model was intended for layout checks and rendering, including planning a 3D-printed enclosure.

The script creates a visual model, not manufacturing geometry. The board body is not cut with physical through-holes. Source comments document corrections to hole counts and edge pads; version 1.5.0 leaves scene units unchanged by default.
