This is another small release targeting more optimization around paper carrier tape. The changes are described below:

  • Updates frame-8 to have a cutout at exit to improve performance with thicker carrier tape
  • Updates frame-8 and frame-12 to fully cover the top face of the motherboard near the spring fingers
  • Slightly loosens the light-diffuser pocket to improve yield
  • Cleans feature tree of frame-8 and frame-12
    • Mesh cleanup in Onshape was performed to reduce file size of feeder frames by 50x - 100x
    • Design history has been baked out to improve load times and model stability
    • Self-tapping screw optimized holes have been merged into the model making boolean operations in slicers no longer needed
    • The feeder frames are now editable in FreeCAD 1.0 and above

The results of this work yields the feeder frame shown below:
