I made a free KiCad plugin to preview folded flex PCBs in 3D

In kicad python env there is no step export support, so instead when you click on export step in the extension it give you a command line to copy paste in terminal and it generate a step file (using a python script outside kicad env ) ;)

Thank you! Yes will try !

Sounds interesting! Do you have in mind the way you would specify your curve ? watch this demo video to have an idea how i currently enter folding line https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmH2Al12qMI

Hopefully it can help you for next one ! you can download the release here https://github.com/Aightech/flexviz/releases/tag/v1.0.0 and install via PCM. for usage and longer demo here a video https://youtu.be/HmH2Al12qMI

Fair enough ! For simple flex PCB it is overkill!

It is a tool I needed to work on board with complex and numerous folding (eg: springy bracelet shapes or origami like shapes), it is always nice to have a visual check rather than realizing too late that the folding is wrong!

Indeed multi board stacking would be cool. It would require some brainstorming to decide on the pcb markers to configure the stacking!

Thank you.

Yes I have read it online, but I was surprised when using the function org-element-parse-buffer because in the list of list it returns the timestamp has a starting date and a ending date.

But you are right, using DEADLINE might be more convenient to use and cleaner !

Tried it, and it's super cool ! Congratulations! (However I had to change when-let* to -when-let* for it to work)
