OpenSCAD render of a play tower made of wooden beams and planks, with dimensions

Play tower in Bangkirai wood

A design for a garden play tower — and a nice example of how to place many identical planks with OpenSCAD loops.

OpenSCAD render of the play tower

This is the design for a play tower in Bangkirai wood that I had actually wanted to put up in our garden. Sadly our building authority thwarted the plan with conditions such as registering a land charge with the neighbour and commissioning surveyors — but perhaps someone has more space on their plot and doesn't have to build close to the boundary. (And yes, my granddaughter got a nice "structure" as a replacement, too ;) )

From an OpenSCAD point of view, the for loops are especially interesting:

// planks towards the wall

for (a =[0:13]) {
    translate([1360+45+20+a*(145+10),45,1500+90])
    dieleY(816);
}

a takes on the values 0, 1 up to 13 in turn. Accordingly, the 81.6 cm long planks are shifted in the x direction.
