I've got the laser cut parts from the machinist and they're looking really good! I installed one so far.

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.

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.

> 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.

#FreeCAD seems to be the most capable #FOSS #CAD package out there. #OpenSCAD looks nice, but it's more like a programming language.

#TinkerCAD is easy, but it's not FOSS, and they have a stinking #BindingArbitration clause now. 🤦‍♂️

#Blender is extremely capable, but not really meant for solid modeling, from what I can tell.

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.

@ianp5a @LovesTha I've managed to mash-up a few designs (like attaching #gridfinity bases to existing designs) in #tinkercad but so far my experiences with #freecad have been frustrating. I suspect once there are more tutorials for the latest release that will help but for a novice like me tinkercad works really well. The advantage of adding the handles to a parametric baseplate in #openscad was I didn't have to redo for each grid layout.

The name plate was designed in #FreeCAD¹, sliced in #PrusaSlicer¹, and printed on my custom-built 3D printer. Its parts were designed and shared by @bear_lab and runs on #MarlinFW.

The leatherette was designed in #Inkscape, the G-code generated with #KiriMoto, and cut with a custom little #vinylCutter attachment for the 3D printer².

I had a rare weekend of peace and quiet (aside from the dogs) so I spent some time playing with #FreeCAD. Sadly I wasn't able to get constraints to work so I returned to #tinkercad which allowed me to get to my first design scoped out in about 5 minutes. It has promise and the latest version certainly feels modern. However when the UI doesn't match the tutorials or documentation its quote confusing for a newbie like me. #3dprinting

First proper job for the #penPlotter attachment for the 3D printer — works as intended. 🙂

I'm trying to design a #3dprint rounded piece to reinforce my headphone plastic that cracked. It's harder than I'd hoped to get this right. I was planning on designing it from a circle but the curves are not lining up.
Anyone have any tips for designing irregular shapes in #freecad or #tinkercad?

After having a conversation about making small wood and paperboard model kits I'm wondering:

Does anyone sell a small affordable lasercutter / engraver that's just enough to do one or two mm thick MDF / board?

Adding some hashtags that seem appropriate: #FreeCAD #lasercutter #modelbuilding

@sheena @linux_mclinuxface you might want to also check out the #trimesh library, and #Python on #FreeCAD and #Blender :)

@damien you could draw it with #Blender or #FreeCAD, both can be controlled with #Python also. And I like making stuff directly with Python + #shapely + #trimesh (+ #py5) and export STL for 3D printing :)

Update: sorry to reply to an old toot, and Jelle had already recommended Blender and FreeCAD 🤪

Et puis, même si ça ne fait pas comme dans le tuto que je suivais, j'ai moyen de bidouiller pour rattraper ça .
Du coup je vais quand même finir le tuto

( c'était l'histoire d'une fille qui après avoir bien bien râler contre freecad et décidé de l'abandonner à découvert que fusion avait une version gratuite pour usage non pro. La fille a installer Fusion, puis fait un tuto très facile et qui a parfaitement fonctionné, mais ça lui a trop hérissé le poil* de pas utiliser un logiciel libre, et ça l'a remotivé a s'acharner sur freecad malgré les bidouillages a venir ) (* oui, la fille a du poil, c'est comme ça les vrai )

Just uplaoded my sklupt case mod that reaplces the top case and enables own designs and materials for that little synthesizer on cults.

People used to #cad software, do you see a difference between paying and opensource software regarding quality? Like, say, which one is definitely better between #autocad and #freecad ? Do the paying software have a much better documentation, range of tutorials, intuitive interface?

Status: Happy.

Tried Ondsel assembly today with a project that largely stalled bacause of the Fusion360 exodus.

It' s basically a minimal ressource, part count and weight mill for soft plate material or laser applications. Originally inspired by the MPNC roller system.

I like the Gui tweaks and helpers so far and it was mostly frictionless to assemble this project that has been altered by multiple Freecad Version and came originally from F360.

Sure the sketches and informations are largely lost but its enough to make necessary adjustmens to the generally working design:

#mechanicaldesign #freecad #ondsel #diycnc #makerculture #mpcnc

-> This means I can finally release it in STEP (single parts) and Ondsel assembly format. \o/

It's already brought to the real world waiting for some soldering and testing.
