sparser supports
first stab at openscad workflow!
- printing a small rectangular prism to test the positioning, scaling, etc
- somewhere the positioning information gets lost, we're not sure where, good to know!
- hand-edited tempurature in gcode after compiling
- print succeeds but because the object is so small, the skirting doesn't give the plastic enough time to start flowing right
test openscad magnet
- tiny cylinder just big enough for a magnet hole
- add an extra skirt because plastic doesn't have enough time to smooth out on smaller models
hand-fix gcode
- set tempurature properly
- also try an extra wait to make sure it's really heated up
import SVG file from wiki
turn wiki SVG into magnet-shaped design
export to DXF from inkscape
add millions of midpoint nodes to the SVG file
union the letters in the SVG file
make all segments lines
finally figured out how to make a file that openscad will import
- i think maybe 'make all segments lines' didn't take the first time
save as Inkscape SVG instead of regular SVG
Sudo magnet model in SCAD
rectangle magnet in SCAD that acually prints and the magnet fits (loosely)
subtract two different cylinders to make the magnet fit tighter
- it sorta works
our first properly vector/scad-based Sudo Magnet
- actually printing
remove older sudo & experimental stuff
make compiler.sh easier to execute
