# K2Aley GAR-BOT 3D Print Parts

Copyright (c) 2026 K2Aley. GAR-BOT. All rights reserved.

Open `GAR_BOT_WATER_RESISTANT_PARTS.scad` in OpenSCAD, set
`PART_TO_PRINT`, render with `F6`, then export STL.

Core modules include sealed electronics bay, gasketed lid, cable gland panel,
IBT-2 covers, buck converter covers, motor splash shields, touchscreen bezel,
touchscreen hood, chassis frame rails, crossmembers, tray/deck plates,
touchscreen frame supports, claw bridge, two claw mounts, claw fingers, claw
gear guards, wire covers, and K2Aley GAR-BOT badges.

The refined parts include raised ribs, insert collars, latch pads, cable-gland
frames, gripper texture, false waterproof louvers, and reinforcement details.

Remote transmitter parts to add/print:

- `remote_zero2w_pico_voice_case_front`
- `remote_zero2w_pico_voice_case_back`
- `remote_lora_antenna_bulkhead`
- `lora_antenna_bulkhead_guard` (compatibility alias; same geometry as `remote_lora_antenna_bulkhead`)

## STL Exports

`generate_stl_direct.ps1` generates exact `.stl` files in `stl_exports/`
using OpenSCAD when available. If OpenSCAD is missing, it falls back to simple
starter solids for emergency verification only.

Open `parts_breakdown.html` in a browser for the labeled exploded parts
breakdown illustration, or `stl_preview.html` for the live STL preview grid.

## Heat-Set Insert Pockets

Frame parts include M3-style heat-set insert pockets at bolt-up locations.
The source uses 3.4 mm M3 pilot holes plus a 4.8 mm insert bore, 5.6 mm
lead-in, and 6.0 mm pocket depth. Tune `HEAT_INSERT_D`,
`HEAT_INSERT_LEAD_D`, and `HEAT_INSERT_DEPTH` in
`GAR_BOT_WATER_RESISTANT_PARTS.scad` if your brass inserts need a different fit.
