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.

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

Just been exploring an amazing @freecad macro that enables importing of plane airfoil files and renders them as smooth curved airfoil sections. It's super handy for those designing wings. Just made a video on my @MakerTube acc as a small walkthrough installation and use. #opensource #CAD #FreeCAD #drone #fixedwing #making

A veces un diseño funciona… hasta que lo usas de verdad 😅
He mejorado mi colgador Libre/Ocupado reaprovechando piezas y añadiendo un núcleo en TPU para que ajuste mejor al pomo.
Pequeños cambios, gran diferencia.
📘 Nueva guía corta: restar y unir objetos en FreeCAD, sin dramas.
Gracias a la gente de #Engineering por el empujón constante 💙

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.

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.

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.

Versuche gerade meinen #CPC664 mit einem #Gotek #Floppy #Emulator auszustatten. Habe die letzten paar Tage deshalb fleißig #FreeCAD genutzt und eine Halterung entworfen. Jetzt muss nur noch der Deckel passen und die Tastaturfolie funktionieren (da gehen derzeit wieder einige Tasten nicht 😬. #Amstrad #Schneider

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?

Having a bad time using #Creo Parametric in #WINE. :sadness:

If it were up to me I'd just use #FreeCAD, but work insists I learn Creo, and honestly, it couldn't hurt to know multiple CAD systems.

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.
