info files to take your designs to the next level.I’ve been experimenting with OpenSCAD for some time and was building some plates to attach some components together. It will come in handy when you start using the. One more thing… In the Design menu, make sure that Automatic Reload and Preview is checked. Try clicking and dragging the image with the left and right mouse buttons, and try zooming in and out with the mouse wheel. What’s really special is the way that OpenSCAD allows you to view your design easily from any angle to give you a better picture of how your print will look. That should get you started with OpenSCAD. If you like what you’re seeing and are ready to print your keyguard, generate and save an STL file by clicking on the “File” menu and select “Export” and then “Export as STL…” In any case, you’ll have to go through the “Render” step before you can generate an STL file to print. There’s a progress bar in the lower right of the window that will give you a sense of how close you are to finishing. If you’ve made additions to the outside edge of your keyguard, the render process will be even longer. This step can take a while depending on how powerful your computer is. You can see the fully rendered image but first you have to click on the “Design” menu and select “Render”. Your changes are all there – they’re just hidden. If you don’t you’ll see this or something like it:

If you have OpenGL 2.0 or above, you’ll see your design displayed exactly as you’ve specified: This is where it get’s painful if you don’t have OpenGL 2.0 on your computer.

You don’t really need to have the code (Editor pane) displayed so click on “View” and select “Hide editor”. If “Hide Customizer” is checked, click that line – which un-selects that menu item and “un-hides” the Customizer pane. Now you need to make the customizer visible. You’ll see below what the differences look like.Ĭlick the “Close” button and you’ll have access to a window that looks like this: You can run OpenSCAD without OpenGL 2.0 but it’s a bit of a pain. If you have an older computer – as I do – you’ll see a warning like this: Run OpenSCAD and you’ll see something like this:Ĭlick on the “Open” button and navigate to file you downloaded. Be sure to put them in the same folder where you put keyguard.scad.

While you’re there download the four files: “screen_openings.txt”, “case_openings.txt”, “case_additions.txt”, and “tablet_openings.txt”. If you’re customizing a keyguard, download keyguard_v#.scad from the Printables “Files” page and put it someplace you can find easily. When the download completes, double click on the file to start the installation (but you know all that). You’ll begin downloading the OpenSCAD software. If you are using an Apple computer click on the words “Other OSs and Versions”. If you’re running a computer with Microsoft Windows click on the green rectangle.
