💖 TURBOCASE 💖

okay bestie, welcome to turbocase (that's the manual page name, section 1, user commands, iykyk) — the little tool that takes your KiCad project files and ✨*generates openSCAD case files*✨. literally turning your PCB into a cute lil house. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

turbocase — generate openSCAD case files from KiCad project files 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the usage goes a lil something like this, and yes you copy it exactly, character for character, no edits, periodt:

turbocase [-h] [--layer LAYER] [--lid-layer LID_LAYER] [--bottom
BOTTOM] [--wall WALL] [--standoff STANDOFF] [--show-pcb] [--lid
{cap,inner-fit}] [--verbose] [--debug] pcb output

💅 positional arguments:

  • pcb — the input kicad PCB file, aka the main character of this whole operation 🫶
  • output — the generated openSCAD case template, aka the glow-up result ✨

🎀 options:

  • -h, --help — shows this help message and then dips. exit stage left. 👋
  • --layer LAYER — which layer holds the case inner-outline [defaults to User.6]
  • --lid-layer LID_LAYER — which layer holds the lid-specific holes [defaults to User.7]
  • --bottom BOTTOM — bottom thickness, in mm [default 1.2]
  • --wall WALL — wall thickness, in mm [default 1.2]
  • --standoff STANDOFF — height generated for the PCB mounts, in mm [default 5]
  • --show-pcb — show the PCB placeholder by default [default false]
  • --lid {cap,inner-fit} — lid construction model 🧚
  • --verbose, -v — show log messages, so you actually know what's going on
  • --debug — display a lot of debugging info. and I mean a LOT. it's giving unhinged amounts of info 💀
