I explained to CoPilot that I needed two parts that come together to hold a 52mm diameter .65" thick lens. 60mm OD, 52mm ID, 50mm at the ends to keep the lens in place, 6-32 holes through the two pieces. It understood what I wanted and produced a python script to make STL and STEP files for the two parts. Then I would install Cadquery in FreeCAD and import those files.
Of course, importing CadQuery into Free CAD produced lots of errors that if I still had a functioning brain would have only slowed me down a little. The stroke took away so much of my capacity. If anyone had a guaranteed solution to this, I would gladly spend $100,000 to get it back.
For that matter, do any of you have FreeCAD and a 3D printer?
I have FreeCad and both kinds of printer, except my filament printer is down until I can recompile the software for a new driver board. Something I've been postponing for way too long.
ReplyDeleteHello Clayton - I have both (FreeCAD 1.0 and a Creality Ender 3 V2 Neo with an added Klipper controller), but have yet to play with FreeCAD. If it isn't a complex task for that, I'd be happy to dig into that for you.
