CAD not showing on cloud based solution #225
Description
In a recently created cloud run version of the workshop the .solids don't show up as 3d shapes in the jupyter notebook
Got some nice suggestions on how to fix this from @AGoose
The rendering failure of the solid objects is due to HTTPS/HTTP mixed content blocking. You can patch the rich display hook (for all of these solid types) to replace http with https (hacky, yes!) e.g.
_repr_html = type(my_shape.solid).repr_html
def repr_html(self):
return _repr_html(self).replace("http:", "https:")
type(my_shape.solid).repr_html = repr_html
You can also get Jupyter Lab/Notebook interactive STL viewers, e.g. https://github.com/K3D-tools/K3D-jupyter
However, it looks like there is a Jupyter Lab extension for CadQuery: https://github.com/bernhard-42/jupyter-cadquery
These particular examples are currently only JupyterLab 2.x
