Generate an OpenSCAD case template from a KiCAD PCB
900f26 Fix height debug message ~martijnbraam pushed to ~martijnbraam/turbocase git b6e813b Add verbose and debug info with cmdline flags ~martijnbraam pushed to ~martijnbraam/turbocase git Making a nice case for a PCB project is not terribly hard, but it is annoyingly time consuming if you just want a simple functional case. This most of the time for a case design for me is spend on figuring out how to align the mounting holes in the PCB with the 3D print and ensure the cutouts for the connectors are correct.
This most of the time for a case design for me is spend on figuring out how to align the mounting holes in the PCB with the 3D print and ensure the cutouts for the connectors are correct. Turbocase will automatically extract information about MountingHole footprints and place plastic posts underneath the PCB to fit threaded metal inserts after 3D printing. The tool will detect any footprints that start with TurboCase: and append the correct module from parts.py into the final OpenSCAD file.
