Support for OpenSCAD
OpenSCAD is an open source tool that allows for programmatic creation of 3D shapes for 3D printing, using constructive solid geometry and a variety of primitive types.
It is exactly the kind of application that your product was designed for. Since it's open source and built by hobbiests, there won't be any companies coming along to fund any development, but OpenSCAD support would absolutely without question sell more 3DConnexion products..
http://www.openscad.org/
In the 3D printing world, OpenSCAD is now far more popular than Blender.
Please add support. Low hanging fruit that will bring you a tsunami of new customers.

Re: Support for OpenSCAD
I was! Yeah I remember Pat had bought the partitions at some yard sale in Canada or something but we didn't have the hardware to connect the panels, so we used twist-ties and boxes to keep it all together. Those ancient Wannalancit floors from didn't help much either.
Glad to see there are still people around from back then!

Hello
I am a volunteer programmer on OpenSCAD ( https://github.com/openscad/openscad/gr ... ntributors )
If someone wants to donate a device to me, I will write support for OpenSCAD.

@donbright are you using linux?
Re: Support for OpenSCAD
Ping..
OpenSCAD has been accepted into Google Summer of Code 2014:
http://www.openscad.org/news.html#20140224
I just suggested that they entice someone to offer to create a SpaceMouse Pro driver:
http://rocklinux.net/pipermail/openscad ... 06770.html
If there was ever a time to jump on this, now is it. Please consider either making it possible for someone to write a driver for OpenSCAD, or do it yourselves.

Re: Support for OpenSCAD
someone please donate a device to donbright so he can make this happen and write support for OpenSCAD!! I am just a beginner in openscad, but if this doesn't happen soon I will attempt to do this myself!
Re: Support for OpenSCAD
Hi @donbright, I don't have a mouse to donate, but I do have one. I'd be happy to test any efforts you might make to add support.
FreeCAD includes 3Dconnexion mouse support.
Maybe it wouldn't be a lot of effort to borrow from them?: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/blob ... tAware.cpp

Re: Support for OpenSCAD
Hi all,
I have just published a reasonably crude, but working OpenSCAD driver for the space mouse.
check out:

Hope you enjoy

Re: Support for OpenSCAD
Excellent! Any chance of getting source code?
I'd love to run this on MacOSX.
Also, work frowns on downloading random .EXEs from the internet and just running them.
