Examples¶
Bundled with the package, in
src/b123d_print/examples/.
Start a part from one with new_part("my_part", example="<example>") over MCP or
b123d-print new my_part --from <example>; b123d-print examples lists them.
remix_bracket¶
A remix: an L bracket that exists only as an STL (ref/l_bracket.stl, made
for this example, CC0) is loaded with import_model and changed: its two mounting holes become
slots, and two gussets stiffen the corner. The faceted 6 mm hole in the upright is the
original's, so its overhang is reported as inherited from the original. new_part(...,
example="remix_bracket") copies the reference file too.
The deviation view: red where the slots were cut, grey where the gussets were added.
esp_ir_blaster¶
A two-part box (base and screw-on lid) for an ESP8285 IR transceiver board. Shows an
assembly(d) with board, LED and receiver stand-ins, so the overlap check proves the board fits.
Section through the LED: lid cone, board, clearances. Its templates(d) adds two
fit-test templates to every export: the top of the standoffs and lid
posts (set the board on it), and the lid's inner face (lay it on the base, try the screws).

tuya_motion_sensor_outdoor_case¶
An outdoor case for a PIR motion sensor: a back plate stays on the wall, a hooded cover slides
down over it on dovetails and clicks into detents. Variants: the standard one (flat on the
wall, flat-top cover), tilt15 (plate tipped 15° down) and arch (a cover that prints without
supports).
Section through the middle of the arch variant.
plate_2gang_to_1gang¶
A 2-gang to 1-gang adapter wall plate for a smart switch, in two sizes (VARIANTS). Shows hole
compensation from the config and the wall check around the counterbores — the first print of
this part broke through a 0.05 mm skin there.
Section just past the face, where the wall check looks. Script
testblock¶
The smallest complete example: a block with a rounded notch, a few measured dimensions, one fillet, one cut. Script
hole_coupon¶
The calibration coupon for hole compensation: vertical holes in
the plate and horizontal ones in the tab (round, and teardrop), cut at their nominal size and
labeled. Measures hole_comp and hole_comp_h.
Script
fit_coupon¶
Measures the fits, per side, for your printer and material: a 6 mm peg (part peg) tried in
holes 0 to 0.40 mm bigger per side (part holes; the label is hundredths of a mm), and discs
printed inside rings with gaps of 0.10 to 0.40 mm (part pip). The results go into
press_fit, clearance, free_fit and pip_clearance (Settings).
Its checks(d) shows a declared Gap (the discs are closer than pip_clearance on purpose)
and ThinFeature ignoring the engraved labels.
overhang_bridge_coupon¶
Measures your printer's limits: ledges whose undersides are 40° to 75° from vertical, and
bridges of 5 to 40 mm between pillars. The steepest clean ledge is your max_overhang, the
longest clean bridge your max_bridge. The overhang and bridge checks warn on it on purpose.
