I was using the previously available centerpiece template to print some attachments but I noticed the fit between the printed pins and the sidepieces I had printed was really poor. In digging into the Fusion source, I found that a lot of the measurements were slightly off:
9.5mm
in length, when they are supposed to be10mm - 0.1mm
with the0.1mm
being removed for easier fit. A similar issue exists for height at3.5mm
instead of4mm - 0.1mm
In taking a look at the more up-to-date FreeCAD source, it had:
This pull request adds two different Fusion templates, one which will generate a centerpiece that has the pin holes in it, allowing you to print the pins separately, along with one that generates the pins into the centerpiece itself. I mostly did the former to copy the approach of the FreeCAD source and then decided that having an updated version of the old template would also be helpful. Let me know if you'd prefer to just have one!
The existing pin-included template had a fillet on the centerpiece but the FreeCAD version didn't. The sidepieces I have printed don't have a rounded edge so a flat edge looks better. I was trying to figure out how to get Fusion to make the fillet configurable but couldn't get it. I figured people could do what I did and just delete the fillet if they don't want it but wanted to see what you thought first.
I've tried to clarify some of the parameters to make them easier to understand. I've attached screenshots of the parameters as well as what is generated for review. Happy to adjust anything.
