Re: Recreating a Libre/Open Source Otoscope in FreeCAD

Great work, GlouGlou.

I am traveling the next 2 days, but will put in a PR when I get to a computer.

Not sure what "lens_jig NEEDS TO BE UPDATED FIRST" means but here is a recreation of what is currently in the repository: This meant that we preferred if Frankie spent time refining the jig before people spent the time recreating it. However, I will put what we have into review. tarek : )

Re: Recreating a Libre/Open Source Otoscope in FreeCAD

The maintainers at github in charge of the project are the ones who changed it to a relative path. I had it in e:\downloads\fonts when I made the model. This is correct.
