What is the procedure to do that? In FreeCAD's Python console, run import case To update, after making changes to case.py, run reload(case) My aging Q6600 takes about a minute to do the calculations. Important: the maximum deviation shouldn't be too demanding. I used 0.1%. To change this global (!) setting, you first have to select the "Part Design" workbench. Then it is hidden in Edit > Preferences > Part Design > Shape View > Maximum deviation Another small trap: since all this runs in the same interpreter, variables survive a reload. E.g., if you have a variable called "foo" and you rename it to "bar", but overlook it in one place, the script will still reload without a complaint, using the old "foo". It will only fail once you import in a fresh session ... > For printing, this doesn't seem to be a big problem. Of course it is > better if > it extends to the horizontal plane. Yes, I was thinking of milling or injection molding, where complicated undercuts are generally bad news. I should probably also "verticalize" the lanyard hole. > I would also like it to have bigger > screws, if that is possible. M3 would be best, M2 is also an option. Hmm, M3 is probably too big, but M2 may work. T6-M2 seems to be a very common combination. - Werner _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
