Follow these instructions to install and use the software portions of the Replimat project. 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

Ubuntu

 sudo apt install git openscad rust cargo rabbitvcs-nautilus rabbitvcs-gedit rabbitvcs-cli

Redox

Windows

Join Github, clone the replimat git repository

Rust

CAD

A set of CAD functions is available as part of the MCAD library for the free and open source OpenSCAD 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'

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