RJ45 jacks were easier to find than the pins for creating or modifying the provided Y-cables into straight through cables in order to enable end stops so I whipped this thing up. Using CAT6 patch cables will also make size modifications much easier.
Now, if only Ryan’s Gnarly Rambo Archim Case had RJ45 receivers… (or an OpenSCAD design was available for me to modify.)
That is not going to happen, I do not even understand a single line of that program.
If youre adept with OpenSCAD you can import stl files and start punching holes. Union and intersect from both models and you’d have your case with sockets.
I don’t see where OpenSCAD will open anything other than scad and csg files and don’t see any import option.
I use the cheat sheet https://www.openscad.org/cheatsheet/
The import(“other_model.stl”) command goes in your code, not through the gui. And then it behaves like any other object so you can apply difference() and so on.
OK. I installed and figured out FreeCAD and have a digital prototype. I’m currently printing the base and then I’ll print the prototype to ensure adequate clearance.
The Keystone receiver reduced in size when translated into FreeCAD. Rather than resizing everything I took your advice and used the OpenSCAD import command which worked just fine. The link above now includes Ryan’s sexy cover with 5 Keystone receivers.
