Software

Replimat is developed using the git version control system, on the github hosting service, in the replimat git repository as well as in the repositories of the upstream software projects themselves.

Follow these instructions to install and use the software portions of the Replimat project and to equip yourself to make modifications to them. Much of this software is intended to work with the replimat Controller.

Linux

Fedora

Open a terminal and type the following:

sudo dnf install git openscad rust cargo rabbitvcs-nautilus rabbitvcs-gedit rabbitvcs-cli kicad arduino keepassxc yosys gimp inkscape

Some distributions, such as 64 bit Fedora, put 64 bit libraries in the /usr/lib64 directory, whereas nautilus-python (the program that lets us extend nautilus) assumes all libraries are in the /usr/lib directory. This is a nautilus-python bug. The current workaround is to create a symlink:

ln -s /usr/lib64/libpython2.6.so /usr/lib/libpython2.6.so

CAD

OpenSCAD

A set of CAD functions are available as part of the MCAD library for the free and open source OpenSCAD constructive solid geometry software, mostly within gridbeam.scad. It contains functions for solid and hollow beams of configurable size and orientation, flat surfaces with and without notched corners, and easy hole-aligned translation:

// zFrame(segments) - create a vertical frame 'segments' long
// xFrame(segments) - create a horizontal frame along the X axis
// yFrame(segments) - create a horizontal frame along the Y axis
// topPlate(width, depth, corners) - create a plate width and depth in 'segments', corners == 1 notches corners
// bottomPlate(width, depth, corners) - like topPlate, but aligns plate to underside of frames
// backPlate(width, height, corners) - like topPlate but aligns plate to back side of frames
// frontPlate(width, height, corners) - like topPlate, but aligns plate to front side of frames
// translateFrame([x, y, z]) - translate frames or plates in X, Y, or Z axes in units 'segments'

There's also an M-Bitbeam OpenSCAD library!

FreeCAD

A FreeCAD Replimat library is currently under development. BOLTS and FreeCAD Library serve as useful starting points.
