KiCad and 3D Models (3)

Designing a 3D model is much easier with OpenSCAD rather than, say, FreeCAD.

Here is TAK-5 Frequency Mixer with which you wish to make a model.

Just copy some of the physical parameters into your source code, and then write a very short program.

Voilà!

// dimensions in inches
b=0.800;a
d=0.210;
f=0.400;
g=0.200;
h=0.20;
k=0.031;
nx=2;
ny=4;
xoffset=(f-g*(nx-1))/2;
yoffset=(b-g*(ny-1))/2;

cube([f,b,d]);

for (x=[0:nx-1]) {
    for (y=[0:ny-1]) {
    translate([xoffset+g*x,yoffset+g*y,-h])
        cylinder(h, k, k, false);
    }
}
