Prototyping - make it more automated?

vanowmvanowm Member Posts: 63 ✭✭

I do a lot of 3d print prototyping and currently my workflow is the following (all manually):

  1. change version in embossed text (I created configuration field so I don't have to edit sketch)
  2. create new version (so I can quickly go back to best version if needed)
  3. export model via right click on part studio tab
  4. drag files from downloaded zip file into project folder
  5. reload objects in slicer

Is there a way optimize this process?

    I've seen some cool examples of people using the API and some Python scripts to automate steps 1-4.
