My Customized Improved Phone Case

thingiverse

This is a configuration file for a 3D printing application, likely for creating custom phone cases or other portable electronic device cases. The config file contains numerous options for adjusting the dimensions and design of the case, including settings for stencil use (i.e., additional engravings), corner resolutions, pattern thicknesses, overhang thicknesses, fillet radii, camera positions, wall thickness, etc. If you are looking to extract data or specific information from this config file for further analysis, here's a simple step-by-step guide on how you can do it using Python: 1. Read the Config File First, you need to read the contents of your config file. Here is how you can do it: ```python with open('config.txt') as f: content = f.readlines() ``` 2. Strip and Split Lines Since each setting is written in a new line with a name followed by its value, you would need to split each line into two separate parts: the name and the value. You can use the `strip()` method for this: ```python content = [x.strip().split(': ') for x in content] ``` 3. Convert Values After that, most of the values are stored as strings (because it's a text file). In case you need to compare these settings or use them in a numerical way later on (like performing math), it might be wise to convert all the numerical values into actual numbers. Here's how to do this with Python's `float()` and `int()` functions: ```python values = {} for pair in content: if pair[1]: try: float(pair[1]) values[pair[0]] = float(pair[1]) except ValueError: try: int(pair[1]) values[pair[0]] = int(pair[1]) except ValueError: values[pair[0]] = pair[1] ``` 4. Print/Extract Settings After that, you can access your config settings using their keys. Here's a full function: ```python def load_config(filename): with open(filename) as f: content = f.readlines() # remove whitespace characters like '\n' at the end of each line content = [x.strip() for x in content] content = [x.split('=') for x in content] config_settings = {} for key_value_pair in content: try: config_settings[key_value_pair[0]] = float(key_value_pair[1]) except ValueError: config_settings[key_value_pair[0]] = key_value_pair[1] return config_settings config = load_config('your_file.txt') print(config) ``` In the given function, I've converted every pair to a floating point number (if it was numeric) because `int()` only works for whole numbers. You can convert back if necessary. You can now access your settings by using the name of the setting as its key (`config['setting_name']`). This code assumes that there is at least one whitespace character before each value in your text file. It splits everything where it encounters an equals sign (=). Afterward, if a string appears to be a number, it tries to convert this string into either `float` or `int`. If you want specific settings with certain types or need some advanced functionality, please provide the actual names of those settings.
