feat: prototype base plate with real hub motor measurements
Adds prototype_baseplate.scad — a laser-cuttable / CNC-routable flat base plate for the self-balancing robot using caliper-verified axle dimensions from the wiki (replaces placeholder values in PR #7): Axle base dia: 16.11 mm (was 14 mm) D-cut OD: 15.95 mm (new) D-cut flat chord: 13.00 mm (new) Total protrusion: 65.50 mm Bearing seat OD: 37.80 mm Tire OD: 254 mm (10x2.125") Axle CL height: 127 mm (was wrong 310 mm) Design: - Single flat plate (6 mm Al / 8 mm acrylic), 680x220 mm blank - Open fork slots (16.51 mm, semicircular tip) at each axle end - Bearing seat relief cutout prevents Ø37.8 mm collar binding on edge - Two-piece dropout clamp: lower (round bore) + upper (D-cut bore) - D-cut profile computed from chord geometry with 0.3 mm all-round clearance - MAMBA F722S FC holes (30.5x30.5 mm M3), battery mount holes (M4) - Lightening slots, corner radii via minkowski - RENDER param switches between 3-D assembly and 2-D DXF projections for each of the three laser-cut parts Updates BOM.md to Rev B: measurement delta table, prototype BOM section, updated motor entry with verified axle spec.

## ⚠ Axle Measurement Update (Rev B)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
PR #7 (`chassis_frame.scad`) used placeholder values. The table below records the
|
||||||
|
**caliper-verified** hub motor axle dimensions. All new designs must use these.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
| Feature | Measured | PR #7 placeholder | Delta |
|
||||||
|
|---------|----------|-------------------|-------|
|
||||||
|
| Axle base diameter (round, near hub) | **16.11 mm** | 14 mm | +2.11 mm |
|
||||||
|
| D-cut shaft OD | **15.95 mm** | — (not modelled) | new |
|
||||||
|
| D-cut flat chord | **13.00 mm** | — | new |
|
||||||
|
| Total axle protrusion | **65.5 mm** | ~60 mm est. | +5.5 mm |
|
||||||
|
| Base section length | **15.0 mm** | — | new |
|
||||||
|
| D-cut section length | **43.35 mm** | — | new |
|
||||||
|
| Tip / shoulder | **3.0 mm** | — | new |
|
||||||
|
| Bearing seat collar OD | **37.8 mm** | — | new |
|
||||||
|
| Tire OD | **254 mm** (10×2.125") | 170 mm motor OD only | — |
|
||||||
|
| Axle CL height above ground | **127 mm** | 310 mm (wrong) | −183 mm |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`chassis_frame.scad` should be updated in a follow-on task to match Rev B values.

|
// Clamp blocks: 8 mm 6061-T6 aluminium (preferred — tighter bore tolerance)

// LASER PARAMETERS (6 mm Al, fibre laser)

// Power: 3 kW | Speed: 1800 mm/min | Assist: N2

// Min bore dia: 6 mm (M5 holes OK)

//
|

|
// DIMENSIONAL NOTES
|
||||||
|
// Fork slot width (FORK_W): 16.51 mm — verify on actual axle before cut
|

|
// D-cut flat clearance (DCUT_CL): 0.3 mm — adjust if axle spins in clamp
|
