Simple remix to put a name or a message on the cover of the "Venus Box". You'll need to download both the "things" referenced below. You will also need OpenSCAD to change the text.
- Copy Harlan Martin's "write.scad" and the Tom West's "cover.stl" in the same directory as the scad file.
- Open the .scad file and change the text to whatever you prefer in OpenSCAD.
- Hit F6 (be patient, writing on a spherical surface needs a lot of calculations).
- Once complete, ensure no manifold errors (I didn't get any in my testing).
- Export to STL.
- Print and enjoy! (in addition to this cover, you'll need to print the 1x cam, 2xinner doors and 2x outer doors from the Venus Box- http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1559232)
I stand on the shoulders of giants ...
