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

mmcwilliams 5d17925f9e Start v3. Render time breakthrough makes it the only viable design to iterate. 2020-05-27 15:10:13 -04:00
mmcwilliams e3c7913be2 Move stls from "dist" to "stl", makes more sense. 2020-05-27 15:09:11 -04:00

mmcwilliams e05b6cfc8d Ran benchmark script on spiral_6 and spiral_7 on vps 2020-05-26 01:27:02 -04:00
mmcwilliams f7fe5b3c39 Tired of burning cpu hours on tests I know will fail, forced script to run spiral_7 tests. WOW. Also, using more recent OpenSCAD on Linux desktop I am not seeing limits on the $fn for 60 rotation spirals. No overflow errors with path_extrude tested up to $fn=450 (250 is limit on mac tests). Render times go up to 1min+ but that is over 100x speed improvements. Wow again. 2020-05-25 23:18:07 -04:00
mmcwilliams 29b7d7782f Another spiral 2 datapoint 2020-05-25 23:03:42 -04:00
mmcwilliams 93e4a3d1ed Next-gen spiral is ready to benchmark. Generates 60 rotation spiral in 7 seconds on laptop. Wow. Hitting limits at which the spiral module overflows in the path_extrude() module. Seems to be an issue where if length of path vector array exceeds ~8500, program throws. Will test this module on newer builds to see if the 2019.05 version is the issue. 2020-05-25 23:01:10 -04:00
mmcwilliams 56cee0fb3f Add verbose comments, trying to figure this spiral generation out. Ahhhh! 2020-05-25 22:28:12 -04:00
