New Custom Feature: Point Overcut

joshtargojoshtargo Member Posts: 264 EDU

Creates Overcuts ("dogbones") at selected points, with additional options such as offsets and filleting the resulting sharp edges.

Mostly written for me 3D printing square or hex holes for shafts, which usually bind at the corners of the hole.

Let me know if you find bugs or want more options.

Some help from CNC Overcut but mostly from scratch.

    Nicely done! Seems to fill a similar niche to the Corner Overcut feature. I like your previews on this one. I've noticed for debugs the native features usually use red for issues and magenta for informational things. So instead of addDebugPoint(context, center) you could use addDebugPoint(context, center, DebugColor.MAGENTA)to be more in line with the native toolset.

    @EvanReese thanks. Debug color is an easy fix.

    I try so hard (programming is not a normal thing for me) so I'm glad when someone else find my scripts useful.

    That looks good. We're doing some laser cutting and wood and aluminium routing and so I'll try it next time such a part comes my way.
