Fwd: [QtMoko] Using the toolchain
Hello, I'm trying to compile vim-qt[1] for QtMoko, using the official tool-chain. I have some problem described in the last comment in https://code.google.com/p/vim-qt/wiki/Building any hint would be very welcome.

What I wonder is if acrylic materials are easily handled for rounded forms and snap-fits etc. And what the wall-thickness becomes. Acrylic is too brittle for snap fits, but you can laser cut other plastics that are suitable like ABS. You need to heat acrylic to bend into curves (IIRC someone used that method to make a moko handlebar mount). You can bend thin ABS sheet and hold it in place. As a general guide you don't want to cut details thinner than the sheet you're cutting as they tend to distort. There's a reasonable guide here: http://www.pololu.com/docs/0J24/4 Maybe someone can find out...
