cadquery-contrib

A place to share CadQuery scripts, modules, tutorials and projects

Contents

Tools

• MCP Server - Model Context Protocol server for AI assistants (Claude, etc.) to execute CadQuery scripts and render 3D models. Enables natural language CAD modeling.

  cd mcp-server && pip install .

Examples

• Braille.py - Configurable braille label/sign generator where user inputs text and the braille dots are generated automatically

  

• Panel_with_Various_Holes_for_Connector_Installation.py - Example of creating various knock-out holes in a panel

  

• Parametric_Enclosure.py - Standard CadQuery example of an electronics enclosure with a base, fastener bosses, and a lid

  

• Reinforce_Junction_UsingFillet.py - Example of using fillets to reinforce a joint, reducing stress concentrators at the joint

  

• Resin_Mold.py - A resin casting mold created to repair the strain-relief on an expensive cable

  

• Shelled_Cube_Inside_Chamfer_With_Logical_Selector_Operators.py - Shows a somewhat more advanced use of selectors to chamfer the inside edges of a shelled cube

  

• tray.py - Manual assembly example including export to DXF for laser cutting

  

• Tetrakaidecahedron.py - The Tetrakaidecahedron volume (Kelvin Cell) can pave 3D space and is often encountered in cristallography.

  

• cylindrical_gear.py - A cylindrical straight or helix gear

  

• Remote_Enclosure.py - An electronics enclosure created to be mounted on motorcycle handlebars

  

• Classic_OCC_Bottle.py - Standard OCCT bottle example, implemented using the CadQuery API

  

• Numpy.py - Example of integrating Numpy with CadQuery

  

• 3D_Printer_Extruder_Support.py - Designed for mounting hotend to an i3 X-carriage inspired by the P3steel Toolson

• Involute_Gear.py - Fast involute gear generator.

  

• Thread.py - Thread example.

  

• Hexagonal modular drawers - Inspired by this on Prusa Printers, these drawers are 3D printed (without needing supports) and clip together.

  

• Digital sundial - Inspired by Mojoptix's digital sundial and derived from my own version in OpenSCAD.

  

• Truss Gherkin with spirals - Inspired by 3D Beast

  

• IQON Building following a spline - Inspired by 3D Beast

  

• Tiles any shape - grid of tiles constrained to any 2D shape and seperated into individual groups
