PCB Contour of Maker-Set

There are some segments missing in the PCB contour.

Is my best guess correct for completing the outline (see attachment)?

I'm using LibreCAD 2.0.2 as editor/viewer.

this is possibly an export filter bug. We will check it and correct that soon. Actually our team is at the embedded world in Nürnberg and we can't help this week. Please give us a week for that problem to be solved.

Maker-Set Connectors

Thanks for your answer! Seems that there is also an issue with the connectors.

By the way: Is there anywhere documented, which connectors are used in the Maker-Set? Would be nice if we could get the partnumber of the manufacturer to get the exact footprint.

I'm planning to publish a prototyping PCB, similar to the ones from WAGO, see here, for example.
Of course this will be drawn in KiCad, since open solutions need open tools.

We are selling the maker set because you will not get the connectors of the set from any distributor. These are custom specific built for us. Therefore the part numbers are internal for us and of no use for you.
The footprints are part of the contour data file. Just extract them from the data. Their position is mandatory and therefore needs to be part of the contour file. As I said we will check why the data is incomplete as soon as we are back from Embedded World exhibition.

Sorry for this delayed bug release. But the correct contour is uploaded now and the file should be ok now.

Thanks for the Update,
I did now some adjustments, mostly on the diameters of the drills.

Pleas see the attached zip-file.
