Step-by-Step Customization Guide

This model is fully customizable using the OpenSCAD Customizer on MakerWorld. Follow these steps to create your personalized shopping cart coin:

1. Coin Dimensions:

• First, choose your coin from the coin drop-down menu. This will automatically set the correct diameter, thickness, and hole size (if applicable) for the coin.
• If your coin is not listed, you can manually enter the exact diameter and thickness using the Custom_diameter and Custom_thickness parameters.

2. Custom Engravings and Symbols:

• Under Top_side_options, you can select from a predefined list of symbols or choose Custom_text to enter your own text.
• The Font_options menu allows you to select the style of the text.
• The Engraving_depth slider lets you control how deep the text or symbol is cut into the coin. You can choose a shallow cut for a subtle effect or a deep, through-hole cut.

3. Optional Features:

• Keychain Hanger: Activate Keychain_hanger to add a loop for a key ring. You can adjust the size and shape of the loop under the Keychain_options menu.
• Lanyard/Strap Hole: If you don't want a full hanger, simply enable Lanyard_hole to create a small hole for a string or thin lanyard.

4. Printing Considerations:

• Material: PLA is a great choice for general use. For more durability and heat resistance (e.g., if you plan to leave it in your car), PETG or ASA are recommended.
• Multi-Color Printing: The model is designed for multi-color printing. To achieve a two-color design, simply set your slicer to print the base layer in one color and the engraved details in a second color.
• No Supports Needed: The design does not require any support material, making for a straightforward and easy print.
