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

#FreeCADFriday #Anycubic #FreeCAD #woodworking

@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.

#FreeCADFriday #Anycubic #FreeCAD #woodworking

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!

#Maker #3DPrinting

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

> 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.

Mein erstes #FreeCAD / #3ddruck Werk

Und es funktioniert sogar.
Jetzt kann ich die Hecktür des Kia einen Spalt offen lassen und trotzdem verriegeln. So dass niemand das Auto samt mir im Laderaum klauen kann. 🤣

@SallyStrange @roguefoam

#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.

Today, @purism released the CAD models for the Librem 16 Linux laptop in both the widely used STEP and FreeCAD formats.

@cccpresser @s0
Thanks for this valuable hint about #sketcher setting in #freecad i just tested it and it works great!
will use this from now on because it makes things much more easier 👍

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.

После обновления софта во флатпаках на домашней окончательно и бесповоротно был поломан #freecad. В песочнице с наскона не завелся. Не, ок. Разбираться было лень со всем этим.
Отдельный лайк за различную дистрибьюцию, в том числе и appimage. Где благополучно завелась. Дернуть иконку и подправить ланчер -- и ок.

Пожалуй не стану без необходимости обновлять его.

@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.

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

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?

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.

#toolbelt #3dprintingdesigns #3dprinting #freecad

A definite quality of life improvement in FreeCAD was to set the sizes of the points in a sketch a LOT bigger. The default is 5 px which on my 4k screen was about 0.2 mm and almost impossible to hit. Trying to set up constraints was so bloody frustrating as lining up the mouse pointer on a point took ages. Much better now, could go even bigger than 20 px.

#freecad #frustrating

Here's my latest #freeCAD design and printout on my #crealityk1 printer. A bracket for connecting a 80mm fan to cool down a harddrive.

Using #FreeCAD, I designed a cover for my #Pimoroni explorer, which I then printed on my #crealityk1 printer.

I wanted to make this comfy

Wireless-Charging Phone Pillow

for a while now .. and finally I am happy enough with it to publish it!!

Enjoy 😃

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.

Need to test this tomorrow. Looked promising on a first glance.

Could this be a new home?

#mechanicaldesign #cad #freecad

My first design in #FreeCAD - two rotating plates that should (theoretically) slot into each other and allow the top plate to rotate on top of the bottom plate.

#Cura says that each plate should take 3 hours on my #Neptune4. Let's see how the tolerances work out...

EN: I have just finished translating both my zine/poster editions of desenho() (https://desenho.lugaralgum.com) into English and the 2019 one was ported form Processing Python mode to #py5 (also #Processing + #Python, get to know more at https://abav.lugaralgum.com/como-instalar-py5/index-EN.html )

You can download them both from https://villares.gumroad.com

If 10 more people sign up for a recurring donation at Gumroad I'll make a new zine this year. I was thinking about making it available for free at the Brazilian PyCon, Python Brasil, but I'm afraid it is too late now.

#CreativeCoding #FreeCAD #pyp5js

PT: Acabei de traduzir as duas edições do meu zine/pôster desenho() (https://desenho.lugaralgum.com) e portei a versão de 2019 de Processing modo Python para a nova biblioteca py5 que eu estou usando (também é Processing + Python, saiba mais em https://abav.lugaralgum.com/como-instalar-py5/

Você pode baixar ambas em https://villares.gumroad.com

Se mais 10 pessoas assinarem a contribuição recorrente no Gumroad eu vou fazer mais um número este ano Queria fazer um número para ser distribuído gratuitamente na Python Brasil 2023, mas acho que não vai dar tempo.

I hope if this can be added in the future also to #FreeCAD, this is C3D B-Shaper SDK and can convert mesh to B-Rep surface.
#C3D Lab have created the C3D kernel for many applications such as #KOMPAS-3D and initially was adopted in #Plasticity but after war and trade limitation was replaced with Parasolid and wasn't a bad move, Parasolid is Parasolid.
