Notes for 3D Printers
Over the years I received several mails requesting to use the files of YACS for 3D printing projects.
There are several reasons why the YACS files are NOT a good starting point for a 3D Curta project.
- YACS is handcoded VRML and JavaScipt
- Much of the VRML is created with JavaScript
- Many of the parts that make up the Curta are not present in YACS
- The dimensions are from measuring a real Curta
- Some dimensions are changed to make it work
Luckily a full set of the original engineering drawings for the Curta Calculators is available thanks to the curator of the MuseaumMura in Mauren, Liechtenstein.
