Ah yeah that's huge, but I guess nice that it fits needle probes. I wasn't going to make room for those. Mine would be MUCH simpler
<grazianom[m]>
just like a box with 3 sections and a dovetail lid
<grazianom[m]>
oh and it's nice that it's gridfinity. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do that
<grazianom[m]>
The designer there seems be using off-the-shelf gridfinity bins for everything except the actual glasgow part
fishmonger[m] has joined #glasgow
<fishmonger[m]>
Correct. I have a pile of already printed generic storage boxes and containers, so when I get something new that needs storage I just make a gridfinity thingy for that and use generic ones where appropriate.
<fishmonger[m]>
Was going to upload just the Glasgow (and Cynthion) bins separately, but people asked how to get all the parts as shown, so it became collection of everything.
<grazianom[m]>
Yep I tend to do the same 🙂
<grazianom[m]>
Do you happen to have a model for the glasgow with the case? modeling it now, it's simple, but just making educated guesses as the corner radiuses
<wiebel[m]>
There is an stl in the glasgow git. Its only a base but I assume it's the same xy dimension.of the metal case

The one in Glasgow git should do, but I didn't use that, just measured my aluminium case and added lots of margin to make it possible to grab it from one side and tilt up.
<fishmonger[m]>
I do have a snap-together printable case that was use for a few weeks until the aluminium shell was delivered:
<fishmonger[m]>
Not published because there was a few tweaks that should be done, and the real case showed up before I got around to it. Most specifically it's made for a dimention of light-pipes that most people wont have.
<fishmonger[m]>
But if someone want's it as is I can upload it including the Fusion model.
<wiebel[m]>
May I suggest to print a small cutout of your actual model just to iteratively fit to the actual case?
<wiebel[m]>
* actual case? This way you can print with whatever nozzle you plan to print anyway.
<grazianom[m]>
Yep that's actually how I typically do it. I split the body around around and take a thin slice so thath I can print rather quickly
<grazianom[m]>
strangely my fusion is not letting my export my model atm
<wiebel[m]>
Perfect time to give OpenSCAD a shot. duck

No, you aren't wrong. I've installed the 1.0 version to give it a try again, but haven't had the evergy to plow through re-learning the basics.
<grazianom[m]>
I have been meaning to give FreeCAD a try though, and it has openscad built it.
<grazianom[m]>
I have used it a bit, but only for super simple stuff
<grazianom[m]>
first thing I ever 3d printed I designed in openscadh but it was basically a cylinder lol
<fishmonger[m]>
I tested FreeCAD a few times the last four years, but it was to frustrating having it fail on the most basic operations due to TNP. Now that 1.0 merged the fixes for that it should be workable, and getting away from Fusion would be nice.
<grazianom[m]>
yeah I did not have a good time with it when I tried it, but that was also pre 1.0
<whitequark[cis]1>
there's also SolveSpace if you're looking for something more powerful than openscad but more elegant than freecad
