Releases · moucha19/OpenSCAD-Fletching-jig

It's been a while but finally, a new release which introduces a lot of great stuff 🎉!

Changelog

Overhauled code to get rid of hull and minkowski - this means faster rendering and better compatibility with OpenSCAD workbench in FreeCAD.
Added adjustable vane_count! This means that you can now generate a four fletch version (and ever more vanes work 🚀)
Removed helical, helical_adjust and helical_direction - helical is now specified in degrees with vane_turn and it is enabled by setting vane_style to "helical"
Added option to specify joint style (ball joints can now be swapped with simple holes for a pin or screw). (@tabashir in #7)
- This required definition of new base shape, which is called "star". It can also be applied to the lid, which now uses it as a default for the inner side, so it is clearer how the lid fits the jig.
Created fancy new drawings in FreeCADs TechDraw, so they are cleaner and more precise. This also means that updating drawings will be way easier in the future.
Optional nock alignment guide, useful for wooden arrows for example (@RubenJnl in #4)
- This was further improved by introducing nock_diameter to allow arrows with nocks wider than arrow shaft (@fgietzen in #8)
- Rotation of the nock can be adjusted - either index vane always faces outward, or for even vane_count the nock can be rotated for better clearance
Fixed uneven lid wall thickness
HTML decoration for echo messages is no longer used with latest OpenSCAD version, as the HTML support was removed in 2021.01
Removed all STL files from repository
