Make Part 45590 Flexible - Gerald Lasser - 2025-05-12
Here's a proposal to make this rubber part from flexible k0x parts
In the new Slave-1 this part is used to attach the side panels to the structure, streching the part a bit, respectively taking advantage of the flexibility.
All parts are in the ZIP
45590_v2 is the standard one
45590_Test as it is used on the Slave-1
While doing so, I added the slight curve on the part

Tough one, I'm afraid I don't master enough LDCad templates making
Here's what I've done so far, but I'd like to hear Roland on this question!
Otherwise, I think the segments should contain a "skirt" going inside the part to allow overlaps between segments and mask the junctions

How do I get it to work?
Just copy it to "\AppData\Roaming\LDCad\templates\path"?
and the donor files to the Unofficial dir?

Yes, exactly! But as suggested above this template doesn't give very good results š„

I see your spike templates (which I copied als at the same time), but I fail to see this one although they are all in the same dir, strange.
GOtit working, I needed to add KEYWORD flexible to the file
