why import?

RussNelson opened this issue · comments

Why are Zack's baseplates being imported into gridfinity_baseplate.scad? Is that just for comparison's sake?
Also, the simple baseplate's holes are not fully cut out. I had to make this change. Is this correct?

  • render() gridcopy(num_x, num_y) pad_oversize(margins=1);
  • translate([0,0,-0.01]) render() gridcopy(num_x, num_y) pad_oversize(margins=1);

oops! I meant to remove those imports. I use those during construction to confirm the dimensions match exactly.

The plain frame has a negative space that coincides with the bottom of the positive space, which doesn't render properly in preview mode (appears not fully cut out) but when rendered it is fully cut out. Shifting downward by 0.01 will fix the preview at the expense of a very small deviation from Zack's models. Overall, I think it is close enough and the preview appearance does matter, so I'm willing to include your update for that.
