seems that you cant report issues

not on github that is: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD

but they sure have something else somewhere :-D

It looks like it is the teardrop holes that it doesn't like. They are
linear extrudes of a hull so it looks like hull doesn't work. I think
FreeCAD calls OpenSCAD to do the hull so perhaps there is a path problem.

Try isolating it to a call to teardrop_plus() and if that fails post it to
the FreeCAD issues.

must be this one, of course an direct export to step from openscad would
have made it a tiny amount more eaasy :-)

I think you need to find the lowest node in the tree with the error. All
nodes above that with errors are probably knock on effects.

The picture on the screen looks nothing like anything recognisable in
the y-motor-bracket.

there are several errors, does this list allows screenshots?

the mailing list allows screen-shots and attachments, but usually, it
is
easier when you copy and past the the text of the error messages.
If there are really a whole lot of error messages, then usually the
first few are more interesting then latter ones.

It used to be the case that Freecad could only do a subset of
OpenSCAD,. I think it couldn't do hull(), which is used extensively in
Mendel90. Has that changed?

That should be the best resource for this topic:

the latest dev snapshot does the job much better

but the teardrops still look "funny"

but its good enough that in Fusion360 i can put a nut in the nuttraps and
then add the bolt to the nut

if curious i'm building a Mendel90 with a Mk42 heatbed and the prusa i3 x
carraige system
