Missing nut trap in X_idler_bracket, where is scad source? #41

Closed 3D-Darryl closed 10 years ago

3D-Darryl commented 10 years ago

I am unable to print the X-idler_bracket.stl and x_motor_bracket.stl because they do not slice with a nut trap in the top (using Slic3r or Cura or ReplicatorG). According to blogs this is an OpenScad problem. The collection of source files for Mendel90 does not seem to contain the scad versions. Where can I find the .scad source for these so I can add a nut trap another way?

Yes it is a bug in OpenScad but it slices OK with Skeinforge.

This file is a complete assembly including motor and clamps. I just need the x_motor_bracket and x_idler_bracket pats. How can I extract them?

Not sure what you mean by extract them. That is the source code that makes those parts. If you want to change the parts, that is file you edit. You just change the module called x_end_bracket() and leave the rest alone.

To view just the STL change the 0 and 1's in the ifs at the bottom of the file.

OpenScad does not seem to have a search, I did not know x_motor_bracket was in there somewhere. I never would have found the if(0) at the end of the file or recognized its significance. Thank you I think I can get something to work from that.

Yes the editor is very primitive. I always use an external editor and set the Automatic Reload & Compile option so that OpenScad renders when I change the file.

Once you have made your changes you can create single stls with stls.py dibond x_motor_bracket.stl or you can use F6 and save as STL.
