Can anyone convert dxf file for me?

[beaudoin_n]

Hi,

I found a dxf file online but I don’t have any cad software… could you help with transferring to pdf or svg?
骰塔1.4_3mm.dxf (145.5 KB)

It is from instructables.com

I believe inkscape opens DXF files now, inkscape 1.09 handles that sort of thing a lot better than it used to.

I’ll pop it open and save it out as svg but you definitely can do it.

Try one of these

https://convertio.co/dxf-svg/

https://cloudconvert.com/dxf-to-svg

Hmm actually that gave an error. Something is amiss with that DXF that Inkscape doesn’t like.

There are online converters, if you google “DXF converter” you’ll find a lot of options.

Hmm cloudconvert failed too. This file is definitely screwed up.

Convertio succeeded, but I’d look very carefully to be sure it did it correctly:

Failing that, there are some great dice tower options in the Free Files area here.

This is one of my favorite:

Fold-out dice box (and dice tower)

A few weeks back, I posted a “Made on a Glowforge” post for a design I made for a dice tower that folds up into a 6"x3"x3" box for travel. I’ve made a few revisions to that design, and realized that the “Free Laser Designs” category might be a better fit for it. Revisions: Thinner supports, so more space on the sides for art. Better hinge design for easier opening. Secure “basement” area with a sliding door for storing extra sets of dice, mini figurines, or whatever you’d like. Easy close no …

Thank you for the links… however I am looking for a design that I can use to resell… I beleive that complex one is not for commercial use
But yes any dice tower file I can use to modify (with logo or text that customer gives) and use to sell would be appreciated

You can not re-sell designs you download from Instructables (or Thingiverse, or here…)

[bill.m.davis]

If that is the case, you will need to make the design yourself, or purchase rights to one.

[ekla]

For Thingiverse and Instructables the uploader can choose which license to publish under, it’s possible the file OP posted has some commercial leeway.

[eflyguy]

True, but the default is no, and this particular design does not specify (I checked.)

[ekla]

I’m merely specifying as your statement made it sound like a hard no on all things Thingiverse/Instructables.

Inkscape says the following when I try to open it:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Yes I scanned many models before finding this one where rights were open, that is why I had this one as test to cut but dxf seems corrupted so it looks like I am on my way trying to find one that has the proper rights to use for commercial use. If anyone has such a model please share with me

[geek2nurse]

There are designers who sell patterns on Etsy that include commercial use rights.
