Purpose
An OpenSCAD script to generate stencils from stl as silhouettes. It can also utilize 3d or 2d model in openScad as input.
Beginners/pre-intermediate who know basic operations of OpenScad shall manage to use it too.
User guide
Steps to generate the STL:
- Download all files (there are simplified stl files, script and generated stencils)
- try the script first. When Demo=true, it will generate demo stencils. One for framed and one for non-framed model.
- If it's slow, try to turn on manifold or other speed-up options in the OpenSCAD. In case you don't see it, download newer version (may be a nightly build from year 2024).
- Prepare a selected stl - simplify model & fix errors (Prusa slicer does nit nicely - see the picture).
- set Demo=false
- modify the Silhouette2D() module - everything is commented.
- First import the stl
- translate and rotate in onto right place.
- Try it (F5) and modify if needed.
- Export the stl
- … you already know …
In case anything is not clear, let me know. :-)
License terms details
If you use the generator and publish only generated stl, then the license CC BY-NC-SA as per my opinion does not apply. You don't need to report is as remix, but I would be happy if you mentioned used generator somewhere in the description and let me know. :-)
Different case is when you publish modified generator.
