This was mentioned originally at:
and the Python aspect discussed at:
Starting a new thread 'cause the others were getting long.
First up is exporting SVGs — this is working now, except for the problem of SVGs having a different coordinate space from OpenSCAD and DXFs, so when exported, they are mirror-imaged top–bottom — may need to do yet another re-write to allow this to be handled in a reasonable fashion.
Given the difficulties with SVGs, a work-around may be to instead use multiple DXFs — a separate file for each tool should make importing and cutting more straight-forward.
This however, wants that each sort of tool be defined/supported — the current project needs:
Obviously we would add support for at least:
which hopefully won’t be too onerous…
Doing that the variable definitions look like:
so we just need to add a check for each variable and if present, create/write to/close the matching file.
Hallowe’en update — it now writes out separate files for each tool:
Next up:
Adding support for two more variables for the current project, then doing alternate versions.
Small up-date for Veteran’s Day, and managed to get one half of the remaining modifications for vertical joinery done:
Balance and a test cut later today.
I’m curious why the bottom rabbits don’t extend into the 45 deg end cuts otherwise the base will need its corners cut out.
They do, just not very deeply — naturally, this could be set as desired by the person cutting the part.
