Thanks for joining us and congrats on getting back into this hobby! I shared a video about converting the SK8CAD STLs to STEPs with free software on my Patreon page a little while back: https://www.patreon.com/posts/convert-stl-to-67586989 It's not specifically about Fusion 360, but I expect it will...

Hi Felix, Hmm, I think I understand your problem: the male mold sections appear fine visually, but the program you're using to view them tells you the file is dimensions are larger than 11" x 11", even though it appears the correct size? If that's correct, I've seen this happen once or twi...

Hey Sebastian! Check out this link for a mini cruiser "recipe": https://v1.opensourceboards.com/blog/open-source-skateboards.html Just note it references a mold and older version of SK8CAD, so you'll need to still fill in a few gaps. The specs for referenced "Mold #17 (14-17-22-06)&qu...

Thank you so much, Sebastian!

Hey Sebastian! Yes, that's how I made most of my templates before I had access to a laser cutter or CNC router. I'd recommend downloading Inkscape (https://inkscape.org/) or using Illustrator if you already have that and are familiar with it. Import the SVG you download from SK8CAD into Inkscape, en...

That's what I used on my most recent build and have been very happy with the feel of it - it's enough concave to feel it, but not too much that it causes issues when pressing (using two 20-ton jacks). It will vary a bit depending on the angles, radii, and length of your nose and tails, but if you st...

I think the value most likely to be overlooked or misunderstood is the mold offset: this value is equal to the thickness of each deck times the number of decks you press at once, plus the total thickness of any buffer/other materials you put in between the molds during pressing. (Offset = deck thick...

Thanks for sharing! I took a look on my end and confirmed the issue. Cause: The female mold is generated by subtracting a male mold from a block. This works most of the time, but occasionally the subtraction process doesn't work quite as intended with certain combinations of parameters (as you see h...

Hey Amaury - can you send me the rest of the specs? Screenshots work fine. (Working on a solution to export specs in CSV format, hope to have that live very soon.) I'm playing around with the specs you have provided, and seem to get a female mold issue with certain combinations of wheelbases and nos...

Hi Amaury!

Thank you, and great question! I just created a new topic in this forum for bug reporting: https://forum.opensourceboards.com/view ... ?f=16&t=27.

Please post any issues you find there.

Thanks!
