SLDPRT Files for Mainboard Case

[GraffJosh]

I suppose this is a feature request of sorts, but I work in solidworks and would love to use these solid models natively. Do you have SLDPRT files available? Do you recommend an STL editor? Thanks for your work so far.

[joshuakravitz]

Solidworks can natively import these file types. Are you looking for Native Solidworks files (editable?)

[GraffJosh]

Yes. It helps to have the parameterized files.

[joshuakravitz]

So that assumes that the parts were originally created in solidworks; the issue with native CAD files is that they are not cross-compatible or backwards compatible. So unless the files were created in the EXACT version of solidworks you were using the original files are no good.

[joshuakravitz]

There is a file called "printable_case_full" that will get you what you need as a starting point in Solidworks

[joshuakravitz]

the files were created in PTC CREO Parametric 2022; so it is highly unlikely that you will get Native Solidworks files.

[GraffJosh]

Ah yes, actually I found that it did get me a good starting point.

I used an STL I found of the Mainboard somewhere (possibly this repo, though it's been a long time since I've looked at this issue), and it has worked well enough for my needs.

This request is more of a wishlist item than an urgent need.
