I wanna modify the optics module but I don’t know scad. I’m hoping that someone can help me compile an stl of the optics module for reflection delta stage without the mounting part (I think it’s the include_wedge parameter?). Ideally I would want an stl of the rms threading too. Thanks a lot in advance.
There is an RMS thread test object in the v7 microscope all_stls.zip
Setting the include_wedge parameter to false should work to build the optics module without the fitting wedge. It does work for the Microscope, I have not tested it on the Delta Stage. You might also want to think about the orientation of the camera and the illumination module, to get the camera square on to the x-y axes of the stage and the reflection illumination coming out in a direction that fits in with everything else.
Thanks a lot. I managed to remove the mounting parts. Though unfortunately I can’t get the delta_stage.scad to show a preview.
OpenSCAD is not a very robust system. In many ways it is not the right CAD to be using, but it does have the extremely important advantage that it has plain text files. This means that we can use very powerful collaboration tools in Git.
The Delta Stage body is a bit of a pain and does not preview. It should render - F6 in OpenSCAD. It will be slow and still might not work.
I see that ‘include_wedge’ is not a switch for the optics in the Delta Stage repository. If you are using the SCAD for the optics from the Microscope repository then the default camera and beamsplitter rotations are different.
Ya i found out that it’s dovetail instead of wedge for delta stage.
