    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.

  2. 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.

    Hi ! I'm looking for a 3d printer / linux fer m'y classroom. What's the best 3 ? Thanks for pour answers.

  4. @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.

  5. Well, THAT didn't work.

    I think the hole for the heat-set insert was too small, so when I pressed down with the soldering iron it melted too much of the plastic around it and it came rushing up through the middle. Time for another #FreeCad tweak!

  6. I've finally added a two way breather valve to my fuel tank which will hopefully make filling the tank easier. I hope to never test its roll over protection functionality.

    I could have just strapped it but it was an excuse to print something in ABS. Only the MOT tester is ever likely to see it, but it pleases me.

  7. Once again it is #FreeCADFriday. Show and tell us what you are working on in #FreeCAD at the moment! #CAD

  8. I had a chap come over to the #Doghouse this week for a bit of 1-1 @freecad tutorial/teaching from me. They just sent me this picture (and gave permission for me to toot)... their progress is frankly awesome! #CAD #opensource #EachOneTeachOne #FreeCAD

  9. Finally upgraded to a vacuum that actually sucks ( 😛 pun intended)

    As usual, this called for some #FreeCAD designs to hang everything in place.

  10. It took longer than expected, but my #hydroponics video about Kratky bottles with 3d-printed parts is ready.
    I tried other bottles but these 2l milk jugs are perfect in having wide throats, being stable against winds (I grow plants on an open balcony), and the size is good. They also pack well side-by-side since the bottom is rectangular.
    The current batch of seedlings shown in the video is already bottled, mostly, with basil just about to. I'm currently out of empty bottles, and still need to sprout the seeds for the big container too.

    All the models are made in FreeCAD, all the animations — in Friction2D. The milk jugs are local :)
    The original inspiration by Hoocho's.

  12. @st3fan i am not to deep yet into #3d_printing, but despite nonfree software i hear often also #freecad and i think it was #Blender

  15. Besty gifted me his #diy #printrbot #3dprinter that he's honed to perfection over the years, and I've been having a lot of fun learning to use it! I've also been brushing up on my #freecad skills so that I can design more portable computers and #cyberdecks in future.

  16. Bambu Studio hat ein Feature, das ich mir in dieser Eleganz in FreeCAD wünschen würde: Schneiden und Verbinder. Modell zu groß oder von der Topologie her nicht druckbar? Einfach schneiden und über das Verbinder-Tool passende Stecker-, Dübel- oder Clipverbinder einfügen.

  17. Got there in the end using the link array in draft workbench on @FreeCAD and checking again the tutorial by Mangojelly: youtu.be/fHIW9bEzqgI?si=oVYZ7s
    Not the easiest jobs to do though.

  21. I wanted to make this comfy

    Wireless-Charging Phone Pillow

    for a while now .. and finally I am happy enough with it to publish it!!

    Enjoy 😃

    It perfectly fits my phone, even with the PopSocket.

  22. Looking forward to :)
    I'm on a spree, so I'm excited about the room. Maybe I can learn how to use or without crashing them. For now it's though.

    Also, anyone with experience printing transparent pieces?
    I already solved several problems, but I still leave fingerprints on the objects XD

    Sorry for bad photo quality, doesn't support this laptop yet. Those are (going to be) board game pyramids btw.

  23. MEHR HIMBEEREN!!! Soeben ist Update v2.50 der Softwaresammlung für Medienbildung an Schule und anderen Bildungsinstitutionen für den Minicomputer #raspberrypi 400 erschienen. Seit Mai 2021 entwickelt das #Medienzentrum die Sammlung kontinuierlich weiter. Erneut sind wichtige Ergänzungen und Erweiterungen dazugekommen, aber auch einige Altlasten entfernt worden. \O/ Zum Beispiel ist #MINETEST endlich wieder up-to-date - und auch #Freecad...
