FreedCAD is finally useable (🎉) but man is still ain't *good.* If I had the money I would hire someone whose whole job was "normalizing" FOSS user experience. I don't mean making a FOSS behave like everything else, I mean making a FOSS behave like *itself.*
Why is the default selection behavior in "part design" to have left click pick a new point/line/face but left click in "sketcher" *adds* the point/line to your current selection??

@synchron @s3nnet
#FreeCAD ist nicht auf Bauteile festgelegt. Es hat ein mächtiges Addon system.Die "Workbench" #BIM ist da standardmässig installiert.
Zu elektroplanung weiss ich nicht wie der stand ist. Ich habe allerdings schon Addons dazu entdeckt.
Nicht ganz dein Ziel, aber soweit ich das mitbekommen habe, hat FreeCAD auch connection in die #KiCAD community.

Still can't get freecad:editable to work no matter what I do to this drawing template. Used to show up in the wrong place, now it doesn't do anything.

From the "shit I should not be doing with time I do not have" department... I printed my FrankenJouleThiefCat a shadow. Without a battery in it it is a little unstable, this should fix that, and also includes a cable tidy so the USB cable will be neater. (That exit bend radius isn't fantastic, I know.)
The process for this was:
- Photograph cat with flash against white paper.
- Clean up to a B&W silhouette in #GIMP
- Trace to an outline in #Inkscape, skew the image, and do the extended rear base and some of the cable channel design.
- Use #FreeCAD to build the 3D thing from the 2D, including finishing the channel as its Sketch tool is better for that sort of detail.
- #PrusaSlicer
- Elegoo Neptune 4 Max #3DPrinter
Job done (in about 2hrs I guess).
It could be improved, esp as the spool tangled and there is a small spot of top surface slightly thinly printed as a result... but it'll do. Might do another iteration on it another time. The shape needs a little improvement too.

There. Some #FreeCAD and #3Dprinting later I have an item that does what I want and it even has the look I wanted.
The cup is PETG and the mount solid PA as it gets squeezed pretty hard.
I'll upload the model once I've cleaned it up a bit and try out some printing enhancements to the first model.

Neue Technik hilft alter Technik: in unserer #Schule gibt es doch tatsächlich noch so zwei, drei #OHP (#Overheadprojektor|en). Bei einem ging ein Plastikteil kaputt, das ich nun mit #FreeCAD nachgebaut und 3D-gedruckt habe. Ich bin gespannt, ob es wirklich passt und hält. (Oben auf dem Bild das mit Sekundenkleber und Tesafilm geklebte Original, unten der Nachbau). #3DDruck #3DdruckSchule #FediLZ

Wowzers. I completed the list!
That's about a first.
And whilst it was a short list, some of those items weren't exactly trivial.
- Car refuelled & shopping done ✅
- French pattress box extender (redesigned in #FreeCAD and printed) ✅
- Suffolk printed (after a lot of svg/cad fettling!) ✅ (No Nofolk alas)
- Joule Thief Cat soldered, with added backup USB power injection for when I don't have "dead" batteries for it ✅ (needs cleaning up, but works! I broke my flush cutters a while back, so have ordered a nice fancy Knippex pair to arrive tomorrow.)
And made a (fairly basic) BBQ dinner of Barnsley chops, garlic/chilli potatoes & broccoli, and BBQed eggplant.
Bonus: got a hair cut by an actual hair cutting person for the first time in well over a decade. (My usual thing is I just shave it off every 2-3 months.)
