• Wrote a quick guide for Sketchup_on_Linux
• Note: quick way to grab all the .skp files that have been uploaded onto the wiki.

Using the Special:ListFiles page and searching for .skp and then using the down them all plugin for firefox and 'fast filtering' with /(.skp)$/

• Reviewing recent wiki changes and latest pages relating to the Backhoe:
  • OSE-OSHW-Dev-Backhoe
  • Brian_Log
  • Marcin_Log
  • Backhoe_Boom_in_Sketchup was last updated on 06:19, 18 May 2013‎ by User:Marcin so it is out of date.
  • Backhoe Prior Art - Marcin
  • Backhoe_Stick_and_Boom_Concept_Specification#Response - points 1-3 of this response were addressed by editing the components, points 4-6 can be addressed by creating models sub-assemblies and assemblies today.
  • Backhoe_Development_Brief - looks like a todo list for today
  • Backhoe_Pivot_Module_Academy - new page, no content yet.

Input

• File:Stock Pivot Plate.skp
• Feedback from User:Marcin about File:Backhoe.skp

To generate a CAM file for 3D printing, one must consider the 3" tubing and print out a 3" hole, not a 4.875" hole and ensure hole is correct for 3d printed files.

• New pivot plate File:Stock Pivot Plate 3 inch hole.skp should address feedback from User:Marcin about the 3" pivot hole?

Is the spacing / layout ok? If so I will update the rest of the models accordingly.

Note: the above is used to generate a CAM file for 3D printing, one must consider the 3" tubing and print out a 3" hole
