What

Add a standard parametric BottomCover for FS0307, SG90, and HD1370A, with four recessed desk fasteners and two new reinforced chair mounts. It follows the existing underside outline, preserves the square chair corners, and keeps the specified screw heads above the flat bottom face.

Related #48. Follows the new CAD contributor workflow.

  • TinyEngineer.f3d is the only editable source. The cover uses linked desk geometry and shared parameters, is jointed into the main assembly, and has linked, jointed copies in PRINT_LAYOUT and black PartsSetB.
  • Regenerate BottomCover, Chair, and PartsSetB in 3MF/STL/STEP for every preset: 27 exports. No hand-edited release geometry. The old fixed-size accessory sources and helper scripts are removed.
  • Use six M2×8 thread-forming pan/button-head screws, heads up to Ø4 × 2 mm. Update the parts table, assembly order, black aggregate documentation, and M2×8 shopping quantity from 21 to 27. Keep ScrewSizingTest guidance, CERN-OHL-S, stable source attribution, and unchanged AiEmblem.
  • Open the four desk-corner head pockets to avoid a 0.85 mm thin rim. Keep a 2.2 mm bearing layer, two round chair recesses, and 0.3 mm head-to-floor clearance. Fully constrained pocket sketches preserve their shape when presets change.

Compatibility: the two new chair mounts require the updated Chair print. An older chair without those pilots must be reprinted for the six-point attachment. This revision has CAD validation only; no physical print, thread-grip, harness-fit, or assembled stability test is claimed.

Checks

  • Conventional commit and PR title: feat(cad): add a parametric bottom cover and chair mounts.
  • Native master saved and reopened; all three servo presets rebuild the whole timeline with zero errors/warnings. All new cover sketches are fully constrained.
  • Correct component/export names, feature blocks, assembly joint, print-origin joint, and same-component black-set copy with a placement joint. Print copies sit at Z = 0 with pockets up.
  • Zero cover interference with other main assembly parts or other PartsSetB members; zero measured excess or missing mating-outline area.
  • All six hole axes align within 0.00001 mm calculation tolerance. New chair pilots clear existing bores by 4.10 mm minimum, add no material inside those bores or the checked central wire passage, and leave the original side screws accessible before cover installation.
  • Opposing desk screws have 12.2 mm minimum conservative tip separation. All 18 nominal head-fit checks pass: zero seated collision, positive shoulder contact after a 0.1 mm upward move, 0.3 mm floor clearance.
  • All 27 exports checked independently: valid STEP solids, watertight positive-volume 3MF/STL meshes, expected solid counts, matching bounds/volumes, correct bed orientation.
  • Assembly/BOM/shopping/color-group docs, NOTICE and REUSE updated; archive, hashes, links, and text whitespace checks passed. Generated STEP whitespace is preserved verbatim.
  • CAD and documentation only relative to upstream; firmware/package/HTTP/settings/pin/PCB checks are not applicable. Servo motion limits are unchanged.
  • Hardware status stated: no physical test of this revision. No secrets or device configuration included.

The largest PartsSetB is about 235 × 332 mm; home printers with smaller beds should use the individual files. Physical perimeter fit, cable routing, screw grip, and flush seating remain to be checked on a printed assembly.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request adds an optional HD1370A bottom cover and its CAD source, Fusion workflows, print exports, and verification records. It also adds a hidden optional reference in the master assembly and documents that physical fit and screw retention remain unverified.

Changes

HD1370A Bottom Cover

Layer / File(s) Summary
Profile derivation and cover build
3d_models/cad/bottom-cover/README.md, 3d_models/cad/bottom-cover/requirements.txt, 3d_models/cad/bottom-cover/source-alignment.json, 3d_models/cad/bottom-cover/underside-profile.json, 3d_models/cad/bottom-cover/underside_profile.py, 3d_models/cad/bottom-cover/build_and_check.py
Alignment and profile data define the Desk and Chair underside outline. The build script creates the cover models and records geometry, fit, and mesh checks.
Fusion design and print exports
3d_models/cad/bottom-cover/create_in_fusion.py, 3d_models/cad/bottom-cover/verify_in_fusion.py, 3d_models/cad/bottom-cover/present_in_fusion.py, 3d_models/parts/hd1370a/bottom-cover/BottomCover_Fusion.step, 3d_models/parts/hd1370a/bottom-cover/fusion-verification.json
Fusion scripts create the parametric cover, import it into a fit-check assembly, check interference, and export Fusion and 3MF files. The verification record summarizes the Fusion model and fit checks.
Master integration and geometry checks
3d_models/cad/bottom-cover/integrate_master_in_fusion.py, 3d_models/cad/bottom-cover/inspect_perimeter.py, 3d_models/cad/bottom-cover/verify_master_mates.py, 3d_models/cad/bottom-cover/verify_head_seats.py, 3d_models/cad/bottom-cover/verify_print.py, 3d_models/parts/hd1370a/bottom-cover/*verification.json, 3d_models/parts/hd1370a/bottom-cover/screw-seat-check.json
The integration script adds a hidden cover reference outside the print layout and checks that original geometry and parameters remain unchanged. The verification scripts and records cover perimeter fit, mating parts, screw seats, and print mesh properties.
Accessory documentation and metadata
3d_models/NOTICE, 3d_models/README.md, 3d_models/cad/bottom-cover/provenance.json, 3d_models/parts/hd1370a/.gitattributes, 3d_models/parts/hd1370a/README.md, 3d_models/parts/hd1370a/bottom-cover/README.md, REUSE.toml
Documentation describes the optional HD1370A cover, source files, and verification limits. Metadata records provenance, generated STEP status, attribution, and licensing.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f771a

This adds an optional, clearly labelled prototype bottom cover for the HD1370A. The existing parts are not changed. The remaining issues are documentation and helper-script polish: the screw type and quantity, a stable source link, and stale error markers from the scripts. They can be fixed before or shortly after merge.

In `@3d_models/cad/bottom-cover/verify_in_fusion.py`:
- Around line 152-157: In the successful try path of the Fusion verification
script, remove its own fusion-final-error.txt instead of deleting
fusion-build-error.txt, which belongs to create_in_fusion.py. Apply the same
success-path cleanup to fusion-presentation-error.txt in the presentation
script, allowing the files to be absent.

In `@3d_models/NOTICE`:
- Around line 15-16: Update the optional HD1370A bottom-cover entry in the
Product notice section of NOTICE to remove its fork-branch URL and clarify that
the modification is included in the Source Location above, avoiding a second
ambiguous link.

In `@3d_models/parts/hd1370a/bottom-cover/README.md`:
- Around line 30-32: Update the desk-channel fastening guidance and provenance
description to specify the repository’s M2 thread-forming screws, not machine
screws; describe the Ø2.1 mm channels as pilots and retain the requirement to
verify fit with ScrewSizingTest.

In `@3d_models/README.md`:
- Around line 18-20: In the “Optional HD1370A bottom cover” section, add that it
requires four M2×6 screws with heads no larger than Ø4 mm × 2 mm and is not in
the main BOM; qualify the general no-counterbores/countersinks statement so it
excludes this cover’s recessed head seats.

Thanks for this! really appreciate the careful CAD work, checks, and docs.

The underside cover is a solid, useful idea. I would like to drop the "optional" framing and treat it as a normal part of the design rather than an HD1370A-only accessory.

Could you please:

  • Make it work for all servo presets (not HD1370A-only), and update the PR title/description accordingly (e.g. drop "optional HD1370A" wording).
  • Follow the new contributor guide: I just added docs/3d/adding-parts.md (parametric multi-servo, timeline / PRINT_LAYOUT, PartsSet, export for all servos, naming/docs sync, etc.).
  • Add mount holes in the chair so the cover can be fastened from under the chair as well, so it sits firmly under the desk (and update the screw BOM if new fasteners are needed).

Happy to re-review once that’s aligned. Thanks again!

Thank you for this contribution! 🙌 Really appreciate you taking the initial feedback and extending the design to support all servo presets, integrating the chair mounts, and keeping everything properly parametric and documented.

This is a great addition to Tiny Engineer. Thanks for putting so much care into it! merged! 🤖
