Good afternoon (o;

Doing some simple knob design as a test as I probably gonna move all my OpenSCAD/FreeCAD designs for my open source SMT pick’n’place machine to Shapr3D…

The extrusion tool offers two dimensions:

1. extrusion depth/length
2. angle of extrusion

While the first dimensions resolution changes when you zoom in and out…the angle resolution is always stuck at 5°.

So back to my simple knob it took several attempts to get the right extrusion angle for the notches around the knob…

cheers
