If you want a solvespace with chamfers and fillets, then give Dune 3D a try.

Disclaimer: Dune 3D developer here.


Ooo interesting. The screenshots look suspiciously basic but Horizon EDA is pretty great so I'll give it a try!


Dune 3D developer here. Use inkscape to convert the SVG path to DXF and import that.


Oh awesome, dxf import.[0] Nice, that solves it.

Gonna check out dune3d for my next side project!

Interesting, that's pretty much the same thing I developed 6 years ago, though with a nicer display and QSFP slot: https://github.com/carrotIndustries/hubble/


Believe it or not, but 'enumerating as a CD-ROM' drive is actually a documented feature of some Realtek USB Ethernet Interfaces: https://www.lcsc.com/datasheet/lcsc_datasheet_2206141400_Rea... (6.16. Driver Auto-Install Mode, page 24).


Horizon EDA developer here. More than enough, everything's there for small to medium-sized projects.


Excellent, thank you! I played around with it for a bit, but I got stuck trying to look for an ESP8266 footprint and quit. It does look very promising overall, though.


Horizon can import KiCAD footprints IIRC.

I doubt that they use any kind of reprogrammable memory, but you can swap out the entire board like I did: https://github.com/carrotIndustries/pluto



The Hershey Fonts are also widely used among many commercial electronic design automation applications: https://blog.horizon-eda.org/misc/2019/11/17/fonts.html


It's also a good basis for a DIY digital watch: https://github.com/carrotIndustries/pluto


Super project! Is it possible to buy this pre-assembled?


Or even just the board, I can do the swap myself.


I've built one of these. Good fun, but of course battery life does not match the 7+ years of the original. I think mine lasted close to a year?

If I remember correctly the magnetometer was end of life, but not critial to it's operation.

I'm not the original author, but I am considering ordering a few new boards and maybe the components. If you're really interested, give a shout on github: https://github.com/carrotIndustries/pluto/issues/1


Wow this is incredible! I think I may just build one over the festive period.


If you want good length tuning, look no further than Horizon EDA ;) https://horizon-eda.readthedocs.io/en/latest/feature-overvie...


It can be built on mac OS and starts but isn't really usable due to OpenGL issues: https://github.com/horizon-eda/horizon/pull/290#issuecomment...
