  1. 🚀 CADBase v0.3.2: Fully Open Source!

    A digital platform for sharing, versioning, and viewing 3D models with early RBAC and API access.

    All core components are now public:
    🖥️ Frontend (MIT)
    ⚙️ Backend (AGPLv3)
    🛢️ DB Schema (PostgreSQL)

    What's new:
    • STEP format + viewer improvements
    • RBAC + API keys
    • Security hardening

    Looks like you've drawn 2 overlapping rectangles, right? – Then the geometry of the sketch is not distinct what's "inside" and "outside" (FC 26.3 should "fix" that w/ internals AFAIK)

    Use "trim edge" tool (keys: G,T) to remove the upper and right edge of that small square. Pull out the remaining two edges to select and delete them.

    Then you can pad the resulting "L" shaped sketch.

  3. I am too stupid in the simplest things how #FreeCad wants me to work.
    Just tried to have a L-shaped sketch and pad / extrude it. Let's say the result is surprising to me. Do I really have to go with 25 and 24mm sides to don't have any overlaps (this works as expected)? Or is there an option I don't see to join/merge elements in the sketch?
    Background of the story: I started with Fusion a while back but want to give FreeCad a chance and currently trying to recreate my models in there.

  5. @freecad I am designing and building a new enclosure for my 3D printer. I finished the main part already, but another door is still missing. So today I added my acrylic glass parts to the FreeCAD model to think about the second door.

    Since this always feels like a rabbithole to me, I created a model of my room, the shelf next to the enclosure, a Eurobox to sit below and the Anycubic Vyper 3D printer.
