Current configs generate plates that render flat #3

Closed klevermonicker closed 2 years ago

Been tinkering with all the options you have here which is super impressive...I did notice when rendering in openSCAD that the plates...all the plates render as 2D and therefore we are unable to export them as STL's.

Yeah, gotta use cadquery to get the bottom plates to come out. That also gives you STEP files. I love getting the STEP files out of it, allowed me to make minor geometry fixes/additions before printing. So I run 'solid' for rapid iteration then when I'm happy with that change it to 'cadquery' to get the STEP and STL files.

I tried to give that a shot and I get a ton of errors related to cadquery import. I'll dig into those to try and solve. I can't do a simple import of cadquery from the python interactive console without getting a ton of errors. So that's out for the time being. I'll keep poking at it.

Did you do the steps to setup the Conda environment and do it from there?

Also a recent update changed the directory I have to run it from. I used to run it from within the src directory but that is broken for me now so i have to run it from the main project directory like: python src/dactyl_manuform.py.

See this section of the readme: https://github.com/bullwinkle3000/dactyl-keyboard#main-differences-and-how-to-make-it-go

unfortunately the behavior persists no matter where I am. I've installed it following steps to build the conda environment. I've tried updating things, tried cadquery=2 and cadquery=master...same behavior.

Not sure exactly what the fix was, but I did get it working. I think I was stuck on python3.7 and noticed the repo calls out 3.8. For unrelated reasons I also moved to a different *nix since I was getting some inconsistencies with the original. Going to close this out now since it works.
