This is the last new feature of the 2.4 development branch. I snuck it in at the last minute because I was reminded by a PR from @Type8 (seriously, thanks) that it was on my low hanging fruit list.
I did a ton of press-fit work this year and really wish I had coded this up earlier. Previously I had to spend a bunch of time modifying my CAD models to work around interior radii.
Yay! That should save KM users collectively a heap of hours of fiddly CAD work.
A feature for the maybe-some-day file: some way to bias the relief cut entirely to one side of the corner. For use when the relieved side will be hidden and the clean side exposed. I have no idea what UI would make sense. You could argue thatās enough like ādesign intentā that it really should be in the CAD.
The two views show opposite sides of the red gear.
The green plate has two tabs that project thru holes in the red gear.
In the lower view you see the ādogboneā reliefs expanding the holes in the red gear.
In the upper view you donāt. Theyāre hidden.
ah, this is just about how the dogbone is cut. yes, this is a common form of dogbone and could be a parameter. and it will be an option in 2.5 after another great refactor.
It wasnāt that. I only wanted dogbones in the interior cuts and not the exterior. It required extra code and thought. So instead of doing that, I just disabled it for that case and decided to revisit later.
