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!

#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.
