LDPrint

LDPrint is intended as a tool to convert an LDraw parts library into a file format more suitable for 3D-printing.

Through this project I'm mostly looking to get some experience with FParsec and the LDraw / 3MF file formats. I plan to use it to print some large-scale (5-6x) models for use as gifts.

Roadmap

• Input Formats
  • LDraw File Format Parser
  • LDraw Part Library Porcessing
• Output Formats
  • 3MF
  • STL?
• 3D-Printability
  • Scale
  • Fit Tolerance

Building

dotnet build

Testing

dotnet test

Usage

• Obtain an LDraw parts library from ldraw.org and unzip to a location of your choice, then:

USAGE: LDPrint.CLI.exe [--help] [--dry-run] [--input-path <partPath>] [--output-path <outputPath>] [--scale <decimal>]

OPTIONS:

    --dry-run             Executes without writing files.
    --input-path, -i <partPath>
                          LDraw parts library path.
    --output-path, -o <outputPath>
                          Output path. (default = './output')
    --scale, -s <decimal> Output scale. (default = 1, roughly 1 LDU = 0.4mm.)
    --help                display this list of options.
