Fox Viking themed light switch plate

The wall plate size may be smaller than the actual light switch wall plate. You can visit Two Fox Viking themed light switch plate from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1833561 for a bigger wall plate. I print in CURA: 1. Turn off enable retraction option 2. Fill density is 100% 3. Print speed is 45 (mm/s) 4. Print temperature is 180 My printer is RepRap from the MOST Athena Printer http://www.appropedia.org/Athena_Build_Overview. I use PLA red, 1.75mm filament, but the real diameter is 1.94 mm. To create the model: I download the fox image from https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/46/34/60/4634602d5f438f4ff0c5290c86a8d25a.png. I use Inkscape to convert a 2D cat image into a path for openSCAD. I design the light switch plate with Key Racks using openSCAD. I open cat.SCAD in openSCAD, copy all code and paste it into my light switch plate with Key Racks. The problem is installing software. My laptop is a Mac. I download Inkscape software from https://inkscape.org/en/learn/books/. I need to download XQuartz software from https://www.xquartz.org. To use the openSCAD converter function in Inkscape, I must add these two files into Inkscape extension folder from http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:25036. In Mac, these files are hidden. I need to use terminal to find them and then move them to Inkscape folder by using these commands: mv paths2openscad.py ~/.config/inkscape/extensions/ mv paths2openscad.inx ~/.config/inkscape/extensions/
