Hello, new abundance project attempt to make a cylinder using maslow to replace the router for holding pens, other tools and maybe a thin spindle.
Question to start is there a rough mockup of maslow in the abundance molecules already?
Alternatively is there a general technical drawing with maslow4 dimensions in it?
I know the cylinder of the Dewalt is 69mm
It looks like the distance between the maslow clamps on the inside is 90mm and the total height of the outside of the clamps is 112mm. Is the router button hole a circle 12mm in radius centered on the outside of the 69mm circle?
There isn’t a good version of the whole machine to use, but all of the CAD files are here: GitHub - MaslowCNC/Maslow4: The Build Files for the Maslow4
It should work to import any of those .step files into Abundance to use as a reference
Thank you.
New bug. Just exited my project and then entered again and all of the circles are showing “error 24” They are all attached to different diameters and everything looks ok? What is error24?

Reauthenticated project and now this: Circle geometry not found?
I’ll try again tomorrow. I did save before I left but maybe something went funny? Looks like one circle didn’t load.
Reauthenitcated again and this time it seems to all work. Weird.
Just submitting for bug reporting.

Finished with a basic design. Could do some fancy things but I want to try this.
So I am trying to upload the maslow step files to abundance. It looks to me like it doesn’t like the big ones with hex patterns it says that they have no type and are null. I think I have seen that in other programs where something in the shape crosses over itself so that the inside and outside are not well defined. Is there a way I can poke at this to make it work?
The pieces that don’t load for me are
Clamp
PCB cover
Post Support
Sled
Spool

Are the parts around without the hexagon fill?
I haven’t tested too much with loading large complex .step files so it might be choking somewhere.
Let me see if I can export them without the hex patterns!
I’m having some luck, but it’s not great. OnShape is parametric to an extent, but tends to break if things change too much.
I can remove the honeycomb, but everything downstream seems to break so I’m kinda stuck with an approximation.
Is something like this useful to you?

I imported the CAD files into onshape, but those imported files are a far cry
from natively designed files. I’ve traced the imported file to reverse-engineer
it (thinking in terms of 3d printing). If you have it natively in onshape, send
me a link and I’ll clone it and see what I can do with it.

The simplified step file is ok. It loaded. Without the drilling holes it would be harder to line things up. I was just asking if the simplified files were available. if they are not that is ok, I will play around on my end.
