Dear @thias15

It seems i closed this "Pull Request" as i had the wrong impression that this was needed for you to proceed, so i reopened it now.
Therefore you can pretty much skip my past comments..

Following our last communication,
Please create the folder using the name "XL_lego_body" as it describes beter what is inside this folder.
There are 2 body top types and 1 body bottom:

An increased height (XL) short version with front bumper and sleak top (no lego compatible)
An increased height (XL) short version with front bumper and lego compatible top
A short version body bottom with front bumper matching the 1-2 top types.
Please find attached the readme file along with the STL files.

@Christos-Ps. Ok, usually PR includes all the changes you want to propose. But I can take care of it.

[Christos-Ps]

Thanks @thias15 !!

I tried to create a file directly in https://github.com/isl-org/OpenBot/tree/master/body/diy/cad
but i wasn't allowed to upload any files, so i tried to do it here instead..
Nevertheless please feel free to let me know if i can help any further!

Cheers!
Christos

You would have to do this in a fork, and then create a PR based on a branch in your fork.

[thias15]

But I can prepare a PR and then you can review if that's easier.

[thias15]

@Christos-Ps there seems to be some problems with the stl files. Could you please also provide the step files.

[thias15]

@Christos-Ps also made a new PR #348 that adds a compatible README file, pending the STEP files and fixed STL files (I can also generate them if you provide me the step files). You can check it out here.

Hi @thias15

I am afraid that i have no step files, as i made all changes with MeshMixer & Tinkercad.
What i have except from the STL files are the .OBJ files that i also exported from Tinkercad and i am uploading here, hoping that you can use them instead of the STEP files (or be able to convert them to STEP files).
I can see now that OpenBot logo on the top part looks corrupted and in am afraid that was probably a "side effect" somewhere along the MeshMixer transformations i did that elluded me as it wasn't also so clear on my Ultimaker Cura preview.

Please feel free to let me know of the outcome!
P.S. If you feel that the attached .OBJ files will do for the PR #348, please let me know to upload them there as well!

Cheers
Chris

Hi @Christos-Ps. I checked the .obj files. Unfortunately they have the same artefacts. It is generally best to use the step files for making modifications (ideally in Fusions 360 - free for one year or a similar software). Working on the stl-meshes directly often creates problems. Would you be willing to redesign this model in Fusion360 to avoid such artefacts? I know this is extra work, but would be greatly appreciated. If not, would it be ok for you if we reimplement your design?

[Christos-Ps]

Hi @thias15

It's a bit of overload on my side, but it can be also a good chance to learn a new software! :)
I downloaded Fusion360 and reworked the bottom part (unfortunately i had to create also bottom in order for top+bottom to perfectly align when assembled.
I am uploading now in #348 the bottom part stl+Step files, and i will recreate the upper part in Fusion360 and upload it when ready (hopefully within the next 7-10 days max).
Let me know for anything extra or comments!

[thias15]

@Christos-Ps thanks for your willingness to learn something new and putting in the extra effort. Once you get familiar with Fusion360 I'm sure you will love it. It is very powerful.
