No longer and option to export as of version 7.0.20? :/

Hey there! The STEP Export is still an option in the latest versions of Protocase Designer, however the user interface over the years as undergone many changes and unfortunately this video is from a much older version. We're in the process of updating our tutorials to be accurate with the latest versions! To find the STEP Export in the latest version, under the "File" tab in the main 3D editor window, there is an "Export" button under the CREATE category.

@@ProtocaseInc Ah, so it is! I managed to gloss over it earlier when I was looking for it. When exporting as STL and into blender, the scale is very off but that might be on my end. Regardless I'm very happy to see STL as an export option instead of having to use freeCAD to turn it into STL from STEP. (as I have to piece the model together, because it's split into tons of different parts with different origins when put into blender for some reason) Thanks for such a fast response too, I've been wanting to try building my PC into my desk with 3D printing, and found the very thorough documentation on your website super useful in terms of getting the dimensions right for the motherboard

Two questions. 1: It looks like you’re adding grain to a flat sheet prior to bending, is that correct? You grain the whole thing then bend it? 2: Can another finish such as clear powder coat be added over the grain finish, or should it be left as-is? Thanks.

Thanks for the question! You are right, we grain it prior to bending and we can absolutely apply a clear coat over the top of the grain finish, it looks great!

Is there a way to alter the template based objects? I'm trying to move the atx cutout but it doesn't seem to be interactable. The atx cutout spawns at the corner of the enclosure and with a fixed number of pcie expansion slots. Im trying to alter it to accomodate more expansion slots.

@@ryankossick5791 Ah, okay, gotcha. The ATX template's initial cutouts and other items are not editable, unfortunately. However, you could start with an L-Shape template (since that is the same shape as the ATX template) and add the ATX and other cutouts you need from the library. Let us know if that workaround helps!

One of the neat things we got protocase to do on our design was to add about 15-20 little holes on either side of the enclosure in a neat chevron style for aesthetics then if the customer needs they can mount the enclosure to get convection. We also had them design a cool L shaped ALU bracket that screwed onto the inside and sat on the CPU so it diverted heat from the cpu into the metal case. We were really pleased with the design!

I typically add decals to my models for this, but also include the vector graphic itself for the graphics team to use. I always have the box checked for [store appearance, decal, scene data in model file] + [store images for OLE object data in model file] under Document Properties -> Model Display. - Then I don't worry about forgetting to include any referenced image data with my parts.

How do you mitigate the formation of aluminum oxide which is not conductive and could create a large contact resistance as the ends of the bus bar?
@ProtocaseInc
@ProtocaseInc 7 ай бұрын
Keeping the surface cool, dry and isolated from oxygen would be fundamental for preventing oxidization. However, the best way would be to apply any type of protective coating.

Really impressive! but I didn't get it well when it comes to Medical application, why does Co-POM suit better than H-POM? Thanks!
@ProtocaseInc
@ProtocaseInc 8 ай бұрын
Great question! Aceteal Copolymer (Co-POM) has better long term resistance to corrosion and has low moisture absorption. Its also much more chemically resistant in the long-term than Acetal Homopolymer. If we are talking about short-term mechanical properties, than you would have no problem with H-POM. Hope this answer clears it up for you. Thanks!

You went into depth about the radius of inside corners, but the radius of outside corners is just as important. its real easy in cad to add fillets to round over all the edges, but endmills to not like to round over the top of your parts unless you have a fancy contouring mill.
