This 16x2 1602A LCD bezel from Thingiverse printed and fitted pretty
well a few months ago, and I made a couple in anticipation of future
use.
But I'd now like to quickly make two small adjustments before printing
another in Cura:
-
Reduce the 'lip' from 4 to 2 mm. After much experiment I think I now
have a way of making the rectangular hole in the project case with
sufficient accuracy to allow such a tiny overlap; we'll see!
-
Reduce the diameters of the four tiny push-fit pillars by say 0.1 mm.
A couple broke when I tried to push-fit, and I used hot glue. The change
will probably need trial/error. (Unless I can improvise something. I'm
thinking maybe a tightly folded cylinder of sandpaper?)
No SCAD file was available so I imported the STL (an excellent feature
of OpenSCAD). But is there some way to get the STL converted to SCAD
code?
I know I can Add, Difference, Translate, etc, but apparently not
directly change dimensions of the existing objects?
