This issue is only useful when it comes to the virtualenv stuff. But I just have to say: This is me, trying to figure out where the dimensions on ALCH's boxes came from:
Even just the sizes of the bottom faces of the 3x3 are 45.245, 45, 45.245mm wide. And the grid faces aren't symmetrical either. The outside edges are a slightly tighter fit than the inner ones.
I'm not versed in the ways of Conda. I tried using the conda/miniconda docker image and I got an error that all of the packages were missing, and conda.compat was being deprecated:
What I did instead was to set up a quick python3 virtualenv:
Then to get the default boxes:
I have the purchased boxes from ALCH and I was hoping to just make a few weird custom ones. These are a great start, but they are not identical. The original boxes have a slight draft except for the top 10mm. There is a small lip (hard to tell if it is intentional or not). And some of the round overs are a little different. Still, for my purposes, I think using your .step files as a starting point is going to be a huge help. There are some weird corners in the ALCH models and I can't figure out how to made them, except binary cuts and a strange (to me) order of operations. Tracing STLs is never fun, is it?
