|---|---|
| 13 years 4 months | Print 16 covers on a page. - cvr.py (main): moved previous main code to a function - cvr.py: generate cover repeatedly and distribute it on the page |
| 13 years 4 months | Generate single sketch for cover sheet instead of one for each part. - cvr.py (outline_cad): accept sketch as argument instead of creating a new one - cvr.py (outline_gnuplot): added dummy sketch argument - cvr.py (closed_outline, open_outlineoutline, label): pass sketch argument |
| 13 years 4 months | Draw counterweight shape also on cover. - cvr.py: run shape.make_base to draw counterweight shape - cvr.py (label): parametrized position and size of label - cvr.py (label): counterweight outline collided with label; shrink label and move it to an unoccupied area |
| 13 years 4 months | Move make_base from cw.py to new module shape.py, to allow sharing with cvr.py |
| 13 years 4 months | Change wood size for 4th mold. Improved documentation. - cw.py: switch from 1/2"x2" wood to 1"x3" - README: explain what we need to protect against - README: added more process details - README: merged g2gp pass into "doit" - doit: script for final machine-specific alignment and translation |
| 13 years 4 months | Added problem statement and described more details of the process. |
| 13 years 4 months | Improved the mold for better yield. - cw.py: added another air escape for remaining corner with occasional air pockets - cw.py: inlets terminate in a cylinder, to allow for piece tolerances (the real piece I use is in fact a bit smaller than I tell HeeksCAD, so that HeeksCAD flattens the entire surface) - cw.py: commented the parameters for inlets and escapes |
| 13 years 4 months | cvr.py: added "CW" label |
| 13 years 4 months | Update for gravity casting. - cw.py: added inlets and air escapes for gravity casting - README: documented the tool making workflow |
| 13 years 4 months | Added a cover sheet to separate counterweight and main PCB. - README: describe mechanical stacking and the function of the various protective layers - cvr.py: model of the cover sheet, with gnuplot and HeeksCAD output |
| 13 years 4 months | Various adjustments after trying real prototype: - "tongue" of battery lid hits the counterweight. Open a 1.5 mm deep bay for it. - inclined area was too steep. Make it reach the upper plateau 0.5 mm later. - run protrusions on "podium" at the battery 0.5 mm closer to the battery - extend left "ear" 0.5 mm into available space |
| 13 years 4 months | Initial commit. Just the HeeksPython script to generate the solids for now. |
