In the 4th instalment of this Tutorial I show how to cut-out the openings for the USB and Power ports.
This is a basic video, it demonstrates how to position using vector array variables. Using these variables allows you to move the actual values out of the code.
In regular programming, hard-coding values is a no-no, it is easy to forget that in OpenSCAD.
It also shows that using a common reference point for positioning all the objects is very useful.
I have captures some "Chapter" marks, so you can skip to parts relevant to you.
0:00 - 4:41 Getting Dimensions for USB and Power using FreeCAD
4:41 - 11:55 Creating the Power and USB cut-outs.
11:55 - 18:36 Adding the cut-outs to the case.
