Acrylic_Laser.DXF #10

Closed vbetancu closed 4 years ago

vbetancu commented 4 years ago

Good afternoon, I have found you work to be very interesting, thanks for sharing. While trying to open the files I was unable to open the acrylic_laser.dxf. It shows as text but doesn't work with AutoDesk software. Could you please help me? Thanks

Hi @vbetancu,

Thank you for your interest in this work!

Do you have a preferred file format?

vbetancu commented 4 years ago

Thanks so much for your quick response. I am trying to open it with AutoCad or AutoDesk Fusion, so I believe DXF is good. I am just not sure why it opens as text and can not be read by these software packages.

vbetancu commented 4 years ago

Maybe if you could help me by re-uploading the file. That might fix the issue. Thanks in advance.

vbetancu commented 4 years ago

I also had a similar issue with the Gel mold file. AutoDesk was unable to read it.

robertocalandra commented 4 years ago

Hi @vbetancu, We tested acrylic_laser.dxf on several machines/softwares (including AutoDesk Fusion 360, and the online viewer https://beta.sharecad.org) and we could not reproduce this issue. For us, everything seems to be working correctly. I suspect that it might be an issue with your local machine. What OS are you using? can you successfully open other .dxf files?

PS: say Hi to Kimo from me :)

Hi @robertocalandra , Thank you for your message. I'll tell Kimo you say hi :) I think my issue might be with the download of the acrylic_laser file. When I click on it on the web page it immediately opens as text. Do you recommend any way of downloading it directly from the page? That might solve my issue.

robertocalandra commented 4 years ago

The best way to download the files is either to manually download the whole github repo from https://github.com/facebookresearch/digit-design/archive/master.zip or (preferably) to git clone the repo. On the main page of the repo (https://github.com/facebookresearch/digit-design) you should see a green button named "Code" that lets you explore these two operations.

Thank you @robertocalandra, that actually solved my problem. I really appreciate your help!

vbetancu commented 4 years ago

Hi @robertocalandra, from the gel mold I see that you have some holes in the corners. Could I ask you what the purpose of these holes was?

AlphaBetaPhi commented 4 years ago

Hi @vbetancu,

The holes included in the gel mold are optional for molding low quantities. We have included them as locator holes for mounting plates or an optional self-designed back piece.

Thanks a lot Mike!
