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.
