Apologies in advance if this is the wrong place to ask.... I'm new at this.
I've been trying to learn Open Scad and set myself as a first task designing an adaptor plate to mount a Budaschnozzle to the ORDbot extruder carriage. I started with a concept from Gijs from another thread here, and ended up with this:
- BudaDaptor v0.2
- BudaDaptor_v0.2.png (7.6 KiB) Viewed 9470 times
Now, I see that I can export to .stl from Open Scad, so if I wanted to print it (assuming the presence of a working printer), I would just proceed. But I would like to produce a dimensioned drawing, and perhaps get an estimate for getting the plate cut from aluminum. What file formats are used for that kind of work (water jet or laser cutting, CNC milling)?
Can anyone offer any suggestions on how to proceed?
Thanks in advance......
