TODO
**Setting up the Clojure environment**
* (Download and install the Clojure runtime)[https://clojure.org]
* (Download and install the Leiningen project manager)[http://leiningen.org/]
* (Download and install OpenSCAD)[http://www.openscad.org/]
**Generating the design**
* Run `lein repl`
* Load the file `(load-file "src/dactyl_keyboard/dactyl.clj")`
* This will regenerate the `things/*.scad` files
* Use OpenSCAD to open a `.scad` file.
* Make changes to design, repeat `load-file`, OpenSCAD will watch for changes and rerender.
* When done, use OpenSCAD to export STL files
**Tips**
* Some other ways to evaluate the clojure design file - http://stackoverflow.com/a/28213489
* Example designing with clojure http://adereth.github.io/blog/2014/04/09/3d-printing-with-clojure/
