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

@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.

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!

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.

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

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

Materializr | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
https://f-droid.org/packages/com.materializr.app/
> Maker 3D CAD — the middle ground between Tinkercad and FreeCAD
Materializr is open-source 3D CAD for makers — the middle ground between dead-simple tools like Tinkercad and full professional suites like FreeCAD. Enough genuine solid modeling to make real parts, without a steep learning curve, a subscription, or an account.
Sketch on a plane, pull it into a solid (extrude, revolve, loft, sweep), fillet and chamfer, run boolean operations, cut threads, and edit any step of the history later — even after closing and reopening the project.
Sketches export to SVG at 1:1 millimeters for laser cutters and 2.5D CNC. It also imports STEP and IGES, and exports STEP, STL, IGES and glTF.

Not Friday anymore, but my #FreeCADFriday was about getting some #QualityOfLife things together.
Got my rotating hanging bar up again after a small redesign of the bearing holders. Also designed and #3DPrinted an end stop for my nieces' hang bar since they're worried that it'll fall out of the bearing.
Haven't had my #PineTime on my arm for a few days since the strap broke. Printed a small loop in ASA and cut the zip flap off a discarded rain jacket to make myself a new one.

Where would I find engineering drawings (or better yet, a pre-modeled CAD file) for a Shimano Freehub body*? It seems like this sort of thing would be available (what do all the manufacturers who make parts that work with it do?), or even if it's locked behind Shimano licensing it seems like someone with a 3D printer or what not would have modeled this.
* Specifically an 11 speed 3-pawl system as used by some DTSwiss hubs, but there are a million of them, I know. Any might provide enough information for me to find others.

Finally upgraded to a vacuum that actually sucks ( 😛 pun intended)
As usual, this called for some #FreeCAD designs to hang everything in place.

Warum nicht gleich so, und out of the Box? Nach mehrstündigem, hartem Kampf endlich die #SpaceMouse von #3dconnexion unter #FreeCAD 1.1.1 zum Laufen bewegt. Neue Version aus den Quellen kompiliert, den #AppImageLauncher ebenfalls und die Benutzergruppe des konstruierenden Users angepasst.
Benutzerfreundlich ist was anderes.

Sarjassamme koti-insinöörin tähtihetket:
Ensimmäistä kertaa pitäisi tehdä FreeCAD:illä jotain - poraohjain eli 4cm pitkä putki jonka ulkohalkaisija on 26mm ja sisähalkaisija 18,5mm. Ei kai tämä nyt voi vaikeaa olla?
Vähän aikaa käyttöliittymää ihmeteltyään ei auttanut kuin lähteä kaivamaan netistä ohjeita. Mutta ei ne ohjeetkaan ei tuntuneet täsmäävän: "täällä mitään create pipe -nappulaa ole."
Sitä ihmetellessä osui silmään "shaft design wizard" jonka parempien ideoiden puutteessa avasin. No kas, tällähän tämä hoituu, saa paksumman jalustan siihen, vaikka en oikeastaan tarttis. Koska Riimu nukkui niin printtaamaan ei viitsinyt heti ryhtyä, ja siinä muita ihmetellessä löytyi se "create pipe" nappikin - sitä varten piti vaan valita eri työkalupaletti käyttöliittymästä. Ei siinä mitään, tämähän on ihan normisettiä, mutta se miten se on toteutettu tuntui tuntui aika omituiselta ratkaisulta. Ehkä se on CAD-piireissä normaali systeemi 🤷
Sitten seurasi tovi ällistelyä kun pipe-työkalulla tehty putken mitat oli ihan pielessä, näytti äkkiseltään että Bambulabissä katsoessa se oli venynyt 5cm ulkohalkaisijaan? Sitten kun lopulta näin jossain tarkan mitan 52mm alkoi raksuttaa: niin, shaft-työkalun parametreissa oli halkaisija, sen sijaan pipe-työkalussa käytettiin sädettä. Eihän siinä sitten, mutta MIKSI kaksi sukulaistyökalua käyttää eri yksikköä tuossa? Ehkä tosi-insinöörit tietää 🤷
No, lounaan ajaksi sitten printti tulemaan. Kesken lounaan tajusin että olin syöttänyt sisähalkaisijaksi 18,1mm - tuo ,1 oli tarkoitus olla välys, mutta lähtömitta oli jossain kohtaa mennyt ajatuksissa vikaan. Kyllähän mulla ne mitat ylhäällä oli mutta mitä niitä tarkistamaan kun muistin ihan hyvin mitä ne oli. Ainoa vaan että syöttäessä taphtui jotain outoa - nyt ei ollut off by one, vaan off by half. Vapaapäivän spesiaali? 🤦♂️ 😂
Tätä kirjoitellessa se väärän kokoinen printtikin valmistui niin voi sitten tehdä uuden. En viitsinyt keskeyttää koska saatan hyvin kaivata tuommoistakin putken pätkää joskus johonkin...
P.S. Tämä ei ole avunpyyntö yo. aiheisiin vaan ihan viihteeksi tarkoitettu tarina.

Tuhlie
Little toolholder for belts. Best printed in TPU.
- Screwdriver (Wera etc)
- Wrenches
- Bits
- Screwpockets
- Loop for pliers
I'll test this a bit before upload.
This was also a nice little test for Freecad 1.0.

Feeling relatively clear today so thought I'd get a few of the wife's requested prints designed but for some reason #FreeCAD just wouldn't start so went looking for alternatives and stumbled upon #dune3d and OMG what a banging new #CAD tool, it's a very fast core clearly built around keyboard shortcuts but has a lovely context menu you bring up with space and for designing simple parts has absolutely everything I need today. I am very impressed. #3dprinting #design #partdesign

CW: TILT - freecad, blender technical
the nice thing about #freecad export from #partdesign workbench is each body becomes an object in #blender. Using blender it is easy to add materials to each object so it is easy to get more than just color in a animation. #modeling

Since I've been stuck quarantining for a few days after a COVID scare, designed this.
I really like the chin horn blower concept and gives me way more airflow than other designs. For the cooker
Thinking of calling it the Balor. Will be probably my best delta effector I've ever designed.

todays project has been to get a working understanding of #freecad. I've been drafting in #librecad but my drawings have gotten complex enough that I need to take the time to learn freecad.:
I've used #openscad a lot, #blender, #gimp, #inkscape, #kcad, #libreoffice, #darktable and #shotcut ; I don't have a girlfriend or family so I have time, can you tell:-)but I haven't done precise work with real working drawings. its the next step towards 3d printing and real cad work.

:freecad: #FreeCAD's 🆕 #Curves Workbench now has two separate #analysis #tools:
First one — #Surface Analysis, for analyzing #NURBS surface smoothness visually. It has 3 modes:
1) #Zebra🦓 ;
2) #Rainbow🌈 ;
3) #Isophote🌔.
Second one — #Draft Analysis, specially for #InjectionMolding design.

:freecad: #FreeCAD's 🆕 Zebra Tool actually has 3 modes:
1) #Zebra🦓 ;
2) #Rainbow🌈 ;
3) #Isophote🌔.
Zebra Tool main purpose is to analyze #NURBS surface smoothness (curvature) and discover rough edges visually comparing representation of stripes mapped onto surface.
📝 Now this tool also could be used for #Mold Analysis to visualize #InjectionMolding Core/Cavity Split: https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?p=694161#p694161

Wow. Once I sat down for a few minutes with a pen and a back of a napkin (well, pharmacy bag) it quickly became evident that the math needed for these intersecting planes is trivial and a single acos calc. Yay.
