Greetings all;
I am determined to create the adapter to bolt or clamp to the worm
bearing boss stick out of this BS-1 in hope that I will eventually
get that encoded motor I ordered. So I went out and took some
measurements.
The diameter of where it will clamp to is 28mm.
The diameter of the worm shaft sticking out of that is 19mm.
And this 19mm shaft is double flatted, 10mm across the flats.
Now, where do I find a freecad tut that will allow me to create a
ring that will clamp or grub screw to the 28mm piece, and flare out
to about 50mm diameter to mount this worm drive and motor when it
arrives and I can take some measurements? I have managed to create a
starter cylinder but haven't found where to set its length or or
diameter. Rank, brand new bee here IOW. And its solid rod, not a
ring, so is probably a throw away at this point.
The youtube videos are confusing because they are outdated. These 2
seems to redefine the phrase "moveing target".
Since I've installed the AppImages of both freecad and cura, 2 weeks
ago, both have been updated several times, and I have added
shortname links to the AppImages, in general making them no-brainers
to run. But I do have to fix the ln's when they update.
not sure if this'll help or not
in the top row there is a drop down, select "part"
in the second row click on the cylinder
in the left top panel select the word "cylinder"
in the left lower panel adjust the properties
in the second row click on the cylinder again
adjust the diameter of the second cylinder to be smaller than the
first cylinder in the left top panel select the word "cylinder"
in the left top panel hold the ctrl key and select the word
"cylinder001" in the third row of the icons click on the third one,
tool tip "Make a cut of two shapes" now you have a tube
Now I've a different problem. It went thru all the motions of exporting
an .ngc but didn't generate the file, all without any error. Do I need
another plugin?
In fact, the only way it will create ANY kind of a file is as *.FCstd's.
WTH?
i have used freecad enough to be a middle'n noib
this is how i do it
save my .fcstd so i can come back and re-edit
in the top row select "Mesh design" in the drop down
in the left top panel select your design, "Cut"
in the top menu click "Meshes"
select "Create mesh from shape"
select "Standard"
select "OK"
in left top panel click on "Cut (Meshed)"
right click and select "Export mesh"
this creates a .stl
then use cura to slice
