Parametric Fingerboard Molds Generator - DEMO SHAPE & CALIBRATION (Source Code Included)

🚨 CRITICAL UPDATE: THIS FREECAD VERSION IS OFFICIALLY DEPRECATED 🚨

This legacy version is dead and will no longer receive updates.

I have written from the ground up MOLD F.O.R.G.E., a 100% Free, Standalone Desktop App (Windows, macOS, Linux).

No external CAD software required. The new engine features a live UI, multi-threading, custom DXF vector imports, and is powered directly by a raw OpenCASCADE kernel.

(I am leaving these old FreeCAD files up purely for archival and historical purposes. Do yourself a favor and upgrade to the standalone engine.)

🚀 UPDATE v1.3: VERTICAL PRINTING & CONCAVE STYLES (Live Now!) Major update focusing on printability and shape customization.

• SideLocks System: Integrated pentagonal guide rails on the Nose/Tail. This allows you to print the molds vertically (standing on the side) without supports. This eliminates layer steps on the pressing curve for a perfectly smooth finish.

• Concave Styles: Added ConcaveStyle selector. Choose between "Organic" (Continuous curve) or "Flat" (Tub/Pocket concave with steep walls).

• True Radius Kicks: The kick geometry remains mathematically derived from the Transition Length for crisp, defined kinks.

• Fix: Resolved topological artifacts ("belly") in the loft generation.

(Re-download the workbench from the links below to get these features)

⚠ IMPORTANT: THIS IS NOT A MOLD ⚠

This STL file is a Reference Deck generated with Fingerboard Mold Pro, my free open-source parametric generator for FreeCAD.

Why print this file?

• Test the Shape: Feel the difference between the "Organic" and "Flat" concave before making the actual mold.

• Calibration Check: Use it to test your 3D printer accuracy (standard truck hole spacing).

• It's a Demo: This is a plastic reference. To make real wooden decks, you need the Molds (Male/Female) and the Shaper Template.

🛠 HOW TO GET THE MOLDS (Free)

Don't settle for fixed STL files! I created a software that allows you to generate your own custom molds with your specific Wheelbase, Length, and Concave. It is fully parametric, open-source, and free.

👉 DOWNLOAD THE GENERATOR HERE:

• GitHub (Main): https://github.com/alessandroabbasciano-cpu/FingerboardMoldPro

• Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/Abboni/FingerboardMoldPro

Features:

• New in v1.3: SideLocks (Vertical Printing) & Concave Styles (Organic/Flat).

• Set your own Wheelbase.

• Customize Nose/Tail angles and lengths.

• Control Concave depth and transition smoothness.

• One-Click Batch Export: Automatically generates Male Mold, Female Mold, and Template.

Happy making!
