On the bench today it was my c64u for a small visit. Added the 3 utility buttons and changed the powerled for a 3 colour led.
Made the model for it in #freecad. You can find it on printables: https://www.printables.com/model/1720968-c64-ultimate-utility-buttons
It was @janbeta who kinda inspired me to do so.

Da ich längere Zeit wieder nichts mit FreeCAD gemacht habe, das aber für viele DIY- / Holzprojekte schon recht genial ist, arbeite ich mich gerade mal wieder ein. Natürlich in die aktuellste Version. Also schaue ich Tutorials und versuche Übungsaufgaben daraus selbstständig zu lösen.
Gestern endete das mal wieder mit vielen bösen Worten über den Computer und natürlich auch über FreeCAD. Heute stelle ich, oh Wunder, fest, kaum macht man's richtig, schon funktioniert's!

Gahhh I want the new sketcher text tool in #freecad 1.2, but not quite enough to switch over to nightly releases. Looks like I'll have to use the old, slightly clunkier system until 1.2 is out.

@freecad A friend has a Pelican case clone for audio equipment. Unfortunately an airline brutalised it and killed the flimsy handle it had.
Enter FreeCAD, some PETG+TPU and now there's even sturdier one in place.

For this #FreeCADFriday I made a hose passthrough to install a handheld bidet next to the sink cabinet.
It was a fun endeavor to create the assembly. The elements are split to be placed around the hose and hold together via threads. An additional helix on the inside is custom fit onto the hose to prevent it from slipping through the grommet.

Got 2d curve extrusion working with signed distance fields in FreeCad

@freecad Third iteration and we have a good fit and strength to squashiness ratio. Mainly through careful selection of options in the slicer. #3dprinting #TPU

After some discussion and questions about the #FreeCADDesignCompetition we've just slightly adjusted the brief on the entry topic on the forum. Do check it out! https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?p=886426#p886426 #freecad #opensource #openscience #cad

Ich versuche nun zum wiederholten mal mit #Freecad warm zu werden. Aber irgendwie passt das nicht. Ich war selber CAD-Konstrukteur und habe schon mit NX, SolidWorks, Catia, OneShape, AutoCad, Inventor (Absteigende Erfahrung) gearbeitet. Ich bin mit allen klar gekommen. Warum nicht mit FreeCad?
Kennt jemand ggf ein wirklich gutes Video / Artikel / ... um den Einstieg zu schaffen? Mit gehts nicht um Einzelteile, aber sobald es darum geht mehrere Körper zu einem Objekt zu bauen hört es immer auf.

Ziemlich viel Arbeit aber direkt im ersten Wurf ist ein funktionierender Mechanismus dabei rausgekommen.
Alles in #FreeCAD, auch wenn es nicht immer lustig war. Doppelhelix geht zum Beispiel gar nicht...

This #FreeCADFriday I have another tool for household repairs.
This is a versatile hex wrench I used for switching several faucets.
The FreeCAD file is parameterized so you can easily adapt it to your needs. I have already prepared and uploaded a host of ready-to-print sizes.
(The aerator spanner on the photo can be found in my previous posts.)

Here's another thing I made: a simple box that fits into the empty space of the duct tape roll. #FreeCAD #Prusa #3dPrint #3dPrinting #box #DuctTape #DuckTape

FreeCAD 1.1.1 released
Hot on the heals of version 1.1.0 we are pleased to announce the release of version 1.1.1. You can check out the release notes and the full change log on the repository, it's fair to say that there are a LOT of small fixes to enhance your experiences with FreeCAD. As ever massive thanks to all contributors and developers for taking the time and effort to continue to improve #FreeCAD

Oh my, moving from #FreeCAD 1.0.0 to 1.1.0 feel like a whole different civilization reached.

Tutorial: Importing and Using Scaled Reference Images
Often we might need to create geometry to fit real world objects that we don't have a CAD model for. Whilst we might jump to complex 3D scanning methods and more, sometimes a simple reference image, or images, can really help the process. Even more so if we can accurately scale the image.

FreeCAD: It IS Rocket Science!
In full disclosure the author of this post is involved in model, amateur and high power rocketry so forgive their over excitement! This blogpost highlights a fabulous video from #NARCON around using #FreeCAD for #Rocket design analysis using #CFD #rocketry

CW: Today... 2026 March 31 ... Woodworking (sort of), food, dishes, I don't know... 1/?
Last night (or early early this morning more accurately) I decided that I couldn't face the dishes, and needed sleep more than I needed to sort the dishes out. I really think this was a good decision, as there was a high probability that if I had not gone to bed, but tried to do my usual night time stuff, while I was trying to get to bed, someone would have come and bothered me, so yeah, probably a good decision.
That said, still not dealt with those dishes, in part because getting stuff like that done during the day ends up being difficult. I start doing stuff, and a good percentage of the time, someone comes and distracts me, so that happened today. I did get some of them done. And I managed to not make too many new ones, as I just said, "ah toast it..." to food today...
Yeah, today was pretty much not dealing with food (for the humans at least, really spoiled creatures if you ask me). I was tired, dishes weren't available to get out of the dishwasher (not my ideal situation to be pulling stuff out of the dishwasher, but better than deciding that I need something that I end up washing by hand). So had toast, and various other very easy things, that made minimal dishes.
My pain was high (like dangerously high to be honest), and I was pretty tired. I did manage to get a bit of time to lie down.
Today I did a bit of stuff trying to do some "progress towards doing #woodworking " trying to get this shave horse closer to feeling confident just starting to pull some stuff together.
I wrote up some stuff in #TeX last night, just getting some of my thoughts down, and basically that. I did some stuff in #FreeCAD today (and last night) trying to get a drawing together to see what things look like (to go with the writing, which likely will be abandoned, as I'll just do the thing).
Today, I grabbed an old rusty, handles falling off draw knife, and started to clean it up. In terms of total progress on it, I'd say it's not a lot, but the step from being something I'm not even sure I want to put any time into, to now looking at it a little bit cleaned up, and finding that even as rusty as it is, it still has an edge, it's something I do want to put effort into.
Another thing I have been wanting to start my summer (well spring) brewing, and started to get a ginger bug together. Unfortunately the previous bug had gone all acetone smelling, and it wasn't really worth the effort to see if I could bring it back, largely because it wasn't enough to do much with anyway.
So, there's a fresh bug growing. I think I've had it go from nothing to working actively in about a week.
I have a jar of kombucha, and of apple/pear cider starter. The kombucha I started from nothing but ginger bug, and active vinegar (apple cider, and rice). It took about 4 batches before I was "about to give up" only to find that we had something working quite well.
I hope to be getting some of that in use. Certainly if it ends up being no good, that's fine too -
@freecad my #freecadfriday is a bit of a cheat, I ran a #FreeCAD workshop last night and had 2 new people rock up with Win11 machines and fresh first time ever installs of FreeCAD 1.1. We all modelled a coffee scoop together and they had a great experience with no real issues. Awesome! And we #3Dprinted our scoops as well!
