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.
  • 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);
