KiCad libraries, FreeCad models, etc. > Where would I find this? ok. right. the first thing to remember is: it's PCMCIA, so you can use models for that. there's an eoma68.stl file around somewhere which i use... let me see if i can find it... ah! here you go: http://hands.com/~lkcl/eoma/kde_tablet/3dcase/ second thing: i diiid do some KiCAD libraries, way back 4 years ago - it was such a bitch that i had to use proprietary software instead. the libraries however still exist: http://git.hands.com/ and you want eoma.git. thirdly, the CAD modelling that i use is based on python, where i wrote something called pyopenscadobj.py, which uses pyopenscad.py, which then auto-generates openscad files, which then on-demand generate STLs. oh wait - i used pyopenscadobj.py in the sandwich200, but used functional programming for the tablet 3dcase and the laptop. anyway, feel free to explore... https://www.youmagine.com/designs/libre-hardware-licensed-parametric-laptop-design l. _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list [email protected] http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to [email protected]
