HSW parametrized in FreeCAD. Now with stack support for PLA only!

Usage: 

  • open the freecad file
  • in the "Parameters" var set set Horiz to the required value divided by 2 (the base tile is two hexagons so a value of 1 will get you what you see in hsv_param-1x8.3mf)
  • in the “Parameters” var set Vert to the required value
  • export the model to stl or 3mf and enjoy!

In the pictures the transparent part is the one named “hsv_param-1x2” printed in translucent pla. The white parts are the originals from the author RosatP to test fitting. All seems to fit nice printed with the MK3.9S HF0.4 - 0.25 mm STRUCTURAL.

Update: 

Cleaned up and aproper names in the FreeCAD file, now all parameters are found under “Parameters”

I have also added the possibility to create stacks controlled by the “Stacks” and “Stack Gap” parameters. Tested with a gap of 0.25 as per may printing profile, change to 0.2 or whatever layer height you use. Use a sharp knife or blade to separate at the seam.

Update #2:

Stacking works well with PLA I wasn't able to get it to work with PETG it just sticks too well :/

Update #3:

Somehow the FreeCAD source file was mixed up with the old one without stacks. I have solved this and updated the file.

Enjoy!
