Redesign in FreeCAD+STLs+3mf. Remove old freecad files and stls. #26

Closed mef51 closed 4 months ago

mef51 commented 5 months ago

This PR adds FreeCAD models of the redesigned, simplified, new stls that have been floating around Glia for a few years and removes the files of the previous design. This PR does not currently update the bill of materials or assembly instructions.

In nearly all cases I matched the freecad model to accurately reproduce the new stls except for the following changes:

I've assembled an otoscope (at least the plastic bits) in PLA and PETG. In PLA these assemble fine, however it is prone to cracking. In PETG when supports are used this can lead to gumminess that requires cleaning with an exacto knife before parts fit together. This can be addressed in the future by tweaking the freecad models or by doing some adjustments in slicer (such as scaling parts slightly, or changing support options)

The following screenshots show the freecad models: image image image image image image image image image image
