Cyclone PCB factory (V2.2) remodelled under FreeCAD (under progress)

[paul18fr]

Hi all

(first of all, happy new year)

I'm not "at ease" with openscad and I decided to completely remodel the CNC under freecad; it's is first by "pleasure" but I targeted to slightly increase the dimensions of the worked bed (A4 format for the PCB or another substrate).

For weeks and from the STL files, I'm doing the job (with a great pleasure); the gears are the latest parts I've to model (and I'll probably need to go deeper in the openscad files in order to find the teeth dimensions). If someone can help my for all the gears, I'll be highly appreciated.

It is currently the release 2.2 at the original dimensions (I noticed it has been updated in the meantime).

The project will be shared with the community if some people are interested by (after verifying there's no big mistake in my files - the first parts will be printed soon) .

Thanks for this great project

Paul

Hi Paul,

You rock! :)

I feel your pain as I also have the same feeling about scad, this is just great.

I usually use Inventor but between learning FreeCAD and Scad I'll glad take the time

to to learn the former.

Happy New Year!!!

Sorry for the delay Paul. It looks really good!! :-)
Be sure to share it, even without the gears modeled in. I'm not fluent with Sketchup but I'm sure many people would prefer it to OpenScad.

Cheers,

Carlos

May be good to also had the extras like the gears to use with belts.

I loved that mod, reduced massively the noise.

I really love parametric models using ascii files but i'm not fluent with openscad and cad models are more usefull to move into the sub-assembliies

for information's i'm working under freecad (freevcad modeler)
A merged draft model can be seen at

Oh, FreeCAD! Even better :-)

How did you manage to design in the gears?

Nice blog by the way, thank you!

Actually there is a module into freecad so everything has been done with it

Of course some improvements to perform on the cad model ... the goal is to share all the files as we can do in a fablab

Hi Paul,

Nice build indeed :)

I don't know where you live, but I made one at Fabelier (fabelier.org), a hackerspace in Paris. Feel free to drop by any Wednesday night.
