Panel itself is 2d, as are cut-outs.
Real objects are 3D, implemented in front and behind for clearance + view purposes. Only necessary objects are implemented.
Features are center co-ordinate based with a globally defined offset. This is so a cut out, bracket and object can share the same reference easily.
X-layout is done by eye. Some features are Y-aligned. No obsession over round numbers or calculated spacing -- balance is more than a function of margin.
Modules are used to create new co-ordinate frames such that geometry can be used to avoid calculating positioning mathematically.
Non-coherent part libraries dependent on main.scad.
Implementation for everything goes here, including views.
Individual parts to manufacture, 2D or 3D as the manufacturing process requires.
Normally just calling a module.
Normally just calling/assembling modules.
A1 revision, still badd obrounds
# Conclusion
switch cutout 10mm -> 12mm
Switch holder plate face too thick, reduce or eliminate in future
M2.5 might become M3 but probably not
toggle 6.5mm not 6mm
Thanks that’s, only the obround but I have fixed that. The 2 x 24.5 dia holes can they be 25 dia?
Also 2mm steel or 3mm alu? What better?
Lots of tool/retention marks needs: Flattening, de-burring, sanding Diamond needle files great for deburring/smoothing/blending -- can look bowed/non-square. Need to blend by eye, radius. Corners with round
Sandpaper mad huge difference. Perception influenced by how small distortions are amplified by the shiny surface.
320 for paint
Tolerance to low for large 3D printed parts -- due to warping or 3D printer inacurracy. Make holes 3mm
Plastic stuck in inserts, make holes much deeper Bad alignment of power switch labels Awkward power switch module construction. Better off as a shroud bolted to front.
Better off defining horizontal lines for bolts XLR -- bolt to front and don't rely on XLR bolts?
