**Printing and Installation Tips**
The stand is highly recommended since it holds bins in even if a lock fails.

Print one side of the stand first to make sure all the measurements are correct.

Not all bolt holes are required, but the stand will be more sturdy if you use all of them.

Try printing a few test locks to find the correct clearance value.


**How do I customize this?**
This is an OpenSCAD project. OpenSCAD is a script-based modeling software specifically created for projects like this that need to be customizable.

If you're new to the program, it may look strange at first, but most of the work is just typing values into a form or selecting customization options from a dropdown list. You do not need to know any programming or write a single line code to use OpenSCAD.

Once you've entered everything you need, you can export an STL file for printing. Here's a helpful video that walks through the entire process!

Random Decision Wheel (OpenSCAD)
