Animation Pegbars

The pegbar is a tool for holding punched cels for drawing and shooting. This repo contains scripts for generating pegbars for round pegs (three hole punch) as well as for cels made for ACME, Disney and Oxberry pegs.

There are two variations of this design, for smaller printers, each broken into two or 3 pieces.


Round Pegbars

This design is intended for use with a standard three hole punch.

ACME Pegbars

This design is distinct from round peg bars due to the enlongated pegs on the ends of it. These enlogated pegs are intended to reduce the shake in the cels when they are drawn on.
