 ### Generating a Design
-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/

 ### Printing
 Pregenerated STL files are available in the [things/](things/) directory.
