Fastener Models in Assemblies #71

Open jmwright opened 1 month ago

jmwright commented 1 month ago

We have started to discuss adding fasteners to assemblies, specifically metric screws to install components into shelves, and screws to mount the shelves into the rack. It looks like there is only one complete generator library at this time, and that is cq_warehouse. It does other things besides fasteners, but I doubt we need any of the other parts it generates.

The alternative is to generate our own fasteners, but there is a surprising amount of nuance in fasteners that can make them tedious to create.

My vote is to use cq_warehouse. Better to use a package than reinvent the wheel.

The cq_warehouse dependency has been added in draft PR #75
