Nut traps moved further from the edge of most parts. Fixed ribbon clamp slots too deep. Modified for JHeadMK5. Changed bed thermsitor type. Extruder block is now thinner so it can protrude below the carriage. The idler bolts no go the other way round so the nuts are captive instead of the heads. 60 mm carriage fan. Spool holders now have tabs for nut traps instead of P clip. Belt lengths corrected and rounded to tooth pitch. Metal pulleys modelled. exploded variable now 0/1 instead of boolean. Dibond version now has mouse holes for wires and the Y wires run underneath the base. Added jigs for inserting Jhead and drilling tubes. Hobbed bolt not shows hob position on the BOM. Everything in the kit is now in the model and so appears on the BOM. Added ribbon cable, wire, heat shrink sleeving, foam spunge, PLA sample. Completed the kit build manual. Sub assemblies restructured to reflect the build order. View files added to make the assembly diagrams. Fixed sheets.py not working first time run.
Limitations
-----------
Currently only supports mendel and sturdy machine variants, the huxley version needs more work.
Use
---
Add the directory of the OpenScad executable to your search path. For Windows OpenSCAD-2012.02 or later is required. For Linux it will need to be openscad-2011.12 or later.
To get PDF versions of the sheet drawings add InkScape to your search path.
To make all the files for a machine run
make_machine.py machine_name
To make just the bom, sheets or stls run bom.py, sheets.py or stls.py machine_name.
machine_name can be mendel or sturdy. To make your own variant copy scad\conf\mendel_config.scad or scad\conf\sturdy_config.scad to yourname_config.scad. Then run make_machine yourname.
To view the model of the whole machine, open scad\main.scad. It will take several minutes to render (about about 8 minutes on my computer) but after that you can pan and zoom it at reasonable speed and changes takes less time to render. (Note: main.scad will only render correctly if conf\machine.scad exists, which is created by the make_machine.py script.)
To view a sub-assembly, open the individual scad files. Set the exploded flag in config.scad to make exploded views.
To get blender renders of all the parts put blender in your search path and run render.py machine_name.
