Nozzle mount in OpenScad?

Does anyone have a design for the Ormerod nozzle mount in OpenScad? I need to modify it to accommodate a dual-nozzle hot end.

Have you tried importing the original as stl? Dunno if that would help or not?

My experience with importing STLs into OpenScad has not been good so far - invariably, I find that OpenScad says it can't process the file.

I've now created an OpenScad model of the nozzle mount and saved it at [github.com]. It has an option for dual nozzles, which is why I wanted it in the first place.

.

I found this to start with. The usual reason is that there are malformed parts to the file, for example 2 points at the same place. It doesnt help you much if its an external file, but when making things using OpenScad, if you take meticulous care for example, when doing a union, to make sure the parts overlap, when subtracting to make sure you arent left with infinitely thin walls etc, then you should find that OpenSCAD accepts the files, and I'm starting to get quite productive with this now, by saving complex basic parts as stl, then they load and render much more quickly.

I believe that the OpenSCAD dev team have talked about being a bit more tolerant of technically malformed stl files and its on the TODO list, but means delving into CGAL library.

Anyway problem solved!
