So I was able to get the cad files from the good folks at micro swiss for their microswiss ng ender 3 edition. I also found a step file for a generic filament slicer. How easy would it be for me to somehow combine the two? I am okay at cad. But this seems like an undertaking, unless there’s an easy way to do it. Has anyone done something like this before? The closest I’ve found was someone made one for the microswiss ng ender 5 edition, but I haven’t been able to get a hold of the creator.
I usually use fusion/ on shape. I had no idea openscad could do something like this and I’m wondering if that’s my route.
openscad is a wonderful tool if you hate using your mouse. if you prefer scripting your way to victory, it is an amazing tool.
mouse is only used to move/zoom/tilt camera, everything else is keyboard
I do know python so scripting isn’t alien to me! I doubt I’ll be able to do something to this caliber though lol.
honestly, after import if you need a connectypiece you can probably just
translate([x,y,z]) { cube(5); }
here is the cheat sheet that i use for reference in openscad - it is quite good :)
