OpenSCAD 101

Exporting DXFs from 3D Objects

• Exporting DXFs - [1] - essentially - load and flatten, then export DXF

• Note: stock Export DXF does not work for 3D files - they need to be projected first.

• To project - projection(cut=false) import("sprocket.stl"); STL file must exist in same directory

• Sample file for exercise in OpenSCAD - the sprocket STL and the .scad file that loads the STL and does a 2D projection. Note that the directory must be correct. File:Sprocketexample.zip
• Note: original srocket was generated using Parametric Sprocket Generator using sprocket(12,5,7.5,8,0.2);
