What this is

An OpenSCAD file allowing to extract areas of the panels of the V-Core 3 enclosure, to be for example 3d printed as router templates.

The result is provided in the output dir for convenience.

Some of the templates are redundant or almost-redundant, it is up to you to decide which ones you actually need by comparing them.

How to use the SCAD file

 - Drop inside the directory of the DXF files
 - Verify that with the default .scad file provided the extractions shown in openscad are in the correct locations
 - Comment the last line (call to "select")
 - Execute the extraction with make_stl.py, provided [*here*](https://github.com/QQuark/make_stl)
     
     ``` make_stl.py v-core-3-500-panel-templates.scad ```

Features

 - Allows always matching the latest DXFs
 - Prevents human error by automating the act of transposing DXF measurements to the 3d models
 - Uses a (slightly clunky) quadrant system to indicate the overall location of each extraction
 - Auto-rotates text when on a side quadrant
 
Possible improvements

 - Visually indicate the quadrant, and the panel edges for alignment.
 - Check that this is compatible with the 300 and 400 version
