To Run

In Blender, import and select the eyeglasses SVG, and then run the script.

Try it with an example SVG!

The script accepts a variety of parameters, such as a the desired_width of the frame, the desired_thickness of the frame, the bend_degree for the bend of the lens area. The script also accepts a bridge_width to better gauge how to bend the lens areas.

This version of pince-nez is based on actual frame specs and the resulting design is much closer to real frames than the previous version. The automated nosepad creation is a best guess and can be refined.

Beveled grooves need to be manually added to insert lenses.
