mmcwilliams a8ab96ae37 HTML breaking the rendering? 2020-08-27 00:50:54 -04:00
mmcwilliams 4b9f7ec677 Rename development.md to README.md to trick github into displaying it as a rendered html file at the ./docs path. This is easier for me to render in my site builder script. 2020-08-27 00:49:28 -04:00

mmcwilliams 04af44c3d7 First render of the gnal_100ft_spiral_bottom from v1. Never completed in earlier render attempts. Left it running for ~2 days but did not catch render metadata. 2020-08-24 11:53:32 -04:00

mmcwilliams 03059f7c5c Add a script that generates a pov model from an stl but gives it the proper name (of the file). Using this to build renders of the models for launch (tomorrow?) 2020-08-20 08:35:12 -04:00

mmcwilliams 9f2a5fe1da Am now generating images of parts with an external script powered by povray. Will migrate to this project and use in place of OpenSCAD image rendering. 2020-08-19 22:12:18 -04:00

mmcwilliams fa8c3de390 Migrate all scad files to their own scad directory to make the root less messy. Might archive the 1-2-3 versions and properly use git for future versioning. 2020-08-19 15:52:28 -04:00
mmcwilliams 28c7ef1bb4 Script to convert existing models to binary. Found a curious thing: taking one very complex file from ascii to binary increased the file size dramatically (9460%). Need to investigate if this was a specific case and whether or not this is something to investigate in other projects. The model in question is gnal_100ft_spiral_top.stl produced by current code. 2020-08-19 15:12:02 -04:00

mmcwilliams 9e0e84bdcd Add binary conversion step to v1 and v2 scripts. TODO: Add a script that will loop through existing files and convert them to binary for big $$$ (diskspace) savings. 2020-08-19 10:27:50 -04:00
mmcwilliams d2e15e4c83 Moving all zips to releases folder (gitignored). Need to convert all to binary before compressing and then will place in the Releases section where they will be more efficiently served. 2020-08-19 10:27:05 -04:00

mmcwilliams 192a935972 Just went for it! Added an experimental quarter version with registration notches in the quarters. Will experiment securing with locktite and determine how waterproof the joins are. Currently having a difficult time getting the spirals to print on the Ender 5 Plus in PETG. Had it work a few times then a whole lot of variables changed and now it's jamming consistently in the same places. Made some more changes to test but while I wait I wanted to make a quartered 50ft spiral I can print on my Tiertime printer with a 130mm bed.
TODO: quarter the 100ft spiral

mmcwilliams c429f57a94 Trying spiral with thicker threads. TODO: run admesh on all stls, write out to ascii still (compare sizes to binary for distribution, though). 2020-07-08 14:02:51 -04:00
