Prusa i3 MK2 Simplify3D Bed Model STL (OpenSCAD)

Description

I Have Some Minor Damage On My Bed / Pei Sheet Which I Want To Avoid. I'Ve Been Looking Into Creating My Own Custom Bed Model For Simplify3D So I Can Easily Avoid Problem Areas When Laying Out Pieces To Be Printed. I Stumbled Across Ayourk'S Post On The Prusa Forums And Have Modified His Code. Ayourk'S Post Can Be Found At: Https://Shop.Prusa3D.Com/Forum/Software-Archive--F87/Mk2-Silk-Screen-For-Simplify3D-T2101.Html Changes: - Changed The Drill Holes To Look More Like They Do On The Bed With An Outer Ring. - Added A Fine Grid Which Shows Every 10Mm. - Added A Function To Import A Dxf File To Add A Graphic Of Pei Damage For Areas You May Want To Avoid. (I'Ve Included Samples Of Mine For Reference) - Changed The Zheight From 2 To 0.1 ##### To Install This In Simplify 3D: 1. Export Your Printer Profile From Within Simplify3D. **File > Export Fff Profile** 2. Edit The File In A Text Editor. Change **Overrideprintermodels** To **1** And **Printermodelsoverride** To The Name Of The Stl File Without Any Path. 3. Go To ~/Library/Application Support/Simplify3D/S3D-Software/ And Copy The Stl Of The Bed There. 4. Open Up Simplify3D And Use **File > Import Fff Profile** 5. In **Simplify3D > Preferences On The Visualisation Tab, Untick "Include Build Table In Virtual Environment** 6. Set The Profile To The New One And The Bed Will Show.

Open Autodesk Fusion360. **Insert > Insert Mesh** - Choose The Bed Stl 3. **Insert > Attach Canvas > ** *Pick The Photo You Took* 4. You Can Right Click On The Photo In The Sidebar And Use **> Calibrate** To Easily Make It The Correct Size. 5. Create A Sketch And Use The Line Tool To Draw Around The Problem Areas On The Bed. Make Sure The Lines Form A Closed Shape. 6. Once Done, Close The Sketch. 7. Right Click On The Sketch **"Save As Dxf..."** 8. Change The Filename In The .Scad Source File. 9. Un-Comment The '//Pei_Damage;' Line About 25 Lines Below That. 10. In Openscad, Press F5 To Preview It. 11. Then Press F6 To Render The File. You Can Then Use **File > Export > Export As Stl** And Use This For Your Printer Bed Model.
