This is a base CadQuery script for teaching myself the basics of CAD software. I believed that starting with something that I am comfortable with might assist me in my learning process, i.e. CAD scripting in a language I am comfortable with (Python).
This script creates a base for the front panel of a Merox Premium (40cm) fan. I bought one of these on sale during the extremely hot summer of 2018. When I put it together, I realized that I did not like the small circular front panel that came with the fan. So I decided that I would try to make my own!
As of writing this I have unfortunately not tried to 3D-print the base yet. I do have a need for the fan atm, so it is collecting dust in my storage unit. I will 3D-print and assemble it once I either have extra time on my hand, or summer comes around again.
I measured the dimensions of the fan base by hand, you can find the measurements in the JSON file dims.json.
The naming should be self-explanatory.
If you simply want to know how the CAD object looks like, I added a GIF of object on a turntable below:
