  1. I couldn’t find any lock pinning tray online that had a key aligning pocket like this, so I made myself one.

  2. Last weekend I showed off the #FreeCAD designed #FoamO hot wire #CNC cutter at @lpoolmakefest This week and this #FreeCADFriday I have been working out #CAD approaches to make dihedral (angled) wing sections using #3Dprinted parts. FoamO repo (barebones!) is here codeberg.org/concretedog/FoamO #making #fixedwing

  7. The largest thing I modeled yet, done in 5 min in FreeCAD and printed in one go on the Snapmaker U1, no failures/reprints, stuck to the base plate all the way, except for a small part of the brim in one corner.

    I now get the "tool vs. hobby" compared to my Elegoo Neptune4. Not to mention that the print would not fit on the smaller 256mm plate.

  12. Just blogged about #SOURCE issue 5 being published. ICYMI Issue 5 is all about designing, simulating and making #Rockets with #OpenRocket and #FreeCAD. It's a pay as you feel magazine that all about #opensource. Do check it out. There's also some sneaky hints about upcoming issue themes. concretedog.blogspot.com/2026/

  17. For anyone who has no idea what I'm talking about but is interested anyway, almost 3 years ago I starting trying to design from scratch 3D printed model rockets to carry a small video camera and altitude logger while remaining as small and light a possible.

    I spent quite a bit of time fiddling around in FreeCAD and OpenRocket and 3D printing prototype parts trying to come up with something that could carry the payload while being both light enough to fly well and tough enough to survive the flight. Eventually this resulted in a series of lights in late 2022, and here are the results: youtube.com/watch?v=s4I2bufpGQc
