build123d libraries and utilities

fb-library Overview

The Fender-Bender library began as a way to externalize and isolate some common build123d utilities, functions, & methods from the Fender-Bender project.

It's grown to include some capabilities not required by that project. Useful components include:

• dovetail: Splits a build123d Part object into two parts that can easily be slid together with very tight tolerances. Useful when building parts larger than your printer's build volume.
• click_fit: a tapered profile that allows for better printing & assembly than a simple half Sphere to allow parts to "click" or snap into place when fit together. The extruded shape and the socket are both shaped carefully to allow a mix of easy assembly and good hold.
• point: a lightweight X,Y coordinate point object with some geometric functions built into the object.
• hexwall: builds a field of hexagons with gaps in-between within a given set of bounds

Documentation

Complete developer documentation for fb-library is maintained in the docs folder and on the fb-library documentation site.

Modifying the Source

The included source files rely on the build123d library. I recommend following the build123d installation instructions.
