KiBot VS nscale4x8

My CICD is done with KiBot - https://github.com/INTI-CMNB/KiBot and my pipeline templates are https://github.com/gcormier/kicad-jobs

Not exactly the same you suggested, but many of those points are already covered by KiBot. You might want to take a look at it: Kibot

One of the features that peaked my interest with the release of 7.0 was kicad-cli. I've wanted a built in tool for CI/CD for a while. I know there is Kibot but to be honest, I found the base configuration a little overwhelming and also struggled to get it running locally on a macOS setup - without tainting system Python.

KiBot [0] is super handy for this, the documentation has an explicit section on CI/CD usage.

It's a bit clunky (not KiBots fault at all, it has to basically script drive the GUI to achieve some functionality which has now been added to the kicad cli) so hopefully going forward CI/CD with KiCad will be even easier!

I'm using KiBot for this, see pcb_replace/sch_replace options here: https://github.com/INTI-CMNB/KiBot#supported-preflight-optio...

I've been bitten by the DRC before, but KiBot[0] renders that moot. I have it running as a pre-commit hook, and it generates my Gerbers and everything. That way, all this stuff is automated and I can't make a mistake.

The original SketchUp models, STLs, and code are available for free at https://github.com/nscale4by8/nscale4x8/tree/master/buildingPatsInFlats. My GitHub account contains other free original STLs as well.

Here is a close-up of printed bricks. You would need to put your node on the structure so see this close: https://github.com/nscale4by8/nscale4x8/blob/master/buildingHyde/brickDetails.png

I made free downloadable STL files for both curved and straight bridge ties specifically designed to interoperate with Kato rails: https://github.com/nscale4by8/nscale4x8/tree/master/downloadableModels

Here are N-scale curved bridge ties as an example: https://github.com/nscale4by8/nscale4x8/blob/master/downloadableModels/bridgeTiesForKatoRails/R13.75B_p.stl
