You can control parameters like bolt-circle-diameter (BCD), number of bolt holes, number of teeth and other stuff. I primarily created ChainringGen because I thought designing / milling my own […]

Automated CAD design
An Automated CAD design for enclosures by Jon. He writes: I recently kicked off laser cutting services on Anibit, and I plan to augment that service with a lot of specific product designs that I create. I’m a nut for automation and flexibility, and I’m deficient in intrinsic artistic talent. I determined that, as much as […]
Small USB IR Toy case
This small IR Toy case by GHPS is up on Thingiverse: Sick of beige cases? Then print it in blue, red, black – or the color that you want… The irToy by dangerousprototypes is a small, universal infrared controller for the USB bus. It can receive and send arbitrary ir signals – and is completely […]

3D KiCAD Parts using OpenSCAD and Wings3D
Christopher Woodall from HappyRobotLabs wrote to us with a short tutorial on how to use OpenSCAD and Wings3D to make 3D component models for KiCAD: I personally find it convenient to utilize OpenSCAD to make 3D models of most eletrical components, which are simple and easily defined parametrically in OpenSCAD’s language. OpenSCAD allows you to write […]
OpenSCAD – the programmers solid 3D CAD modeler
If you’ve looking for open source 3D modeling software that focuses more on the CAD and less on the artistic/game dev aspects, consider Openscad. Think design of machine parts, not movie animation. It takes a different approach than other 3D modeling software. OpenSCAD is not an interactive modeler. Instead it is something like a 3D-compiler […]
