    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.

  2. 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.

  4. @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.

  5. 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!

  6. 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.

  8. 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. 🤣

  13. @dbauer feels a bit like something between (ultra solid workhorse, approachable in an interesting way, though limited in annoying places) and (ridiculously powerful, but complex, thus massive learning curve, also crash-prone).

  14. It took longer than expected, but my #hydroponics video about Kratky bottles with 3d-printed parts is ready.
    I tried other bottles but these 2l milk jugs are perfect in having wide throats, being stable against winds (I grow plants on an open balcony), and the size is good. They also pack well side-by-side since the bottom is rectangular.
    The current batch of seedlings shown in the video is already bottled, mostly, with basil just about to. I'm currently out of empty bottles, and still need to sprout the seeds for the big container too.

    All the models are made in FreeCAD, all the animations — in Friction2D. The milk jugs are local :)
    The original inspiration by Hoocho's.

  15. Sigo avanzando con el proyecto del **Timbre Escolar Inteligente** y hoy quería compartir dos frentes en los que estuve trabajando en paralelo.

    Por un lado, el **diseño del gabinete en FreeCAD**, pensando en una solución más prolija, compacta y lista para llevar a prototipo físico. Y por otro, una **API REST de consulta de feriados**, para que el sistema pueda identificar fechas especiales y evitar que suenen los timbres en días no laborables.

    Me gusta mucho cuando un proyecto empieza a integrar distintas capas: software, electrónica, mecánica e integración con servicios externos. Ahí es donde realmente se empieza a transformar en una solución completa.

    Todavía queda camino por recorrer, pero cada avance suma y le da más forma a la idea.

  16. On Saturday @seoni held a „3D-Modeling and -Printing Beginners Workshop“ with open source 3D-CAD Software: @freecad . The results of which you can see on the pictures and screenshots from „M“.

    We‘re excited to see all the upcoming 3d models and prints in our hackspace in the coming months. :blahaj:

  17. Nachdem ich jetzt endlich wieder einen eigenen #3DDrucker habe, habe ich den Sonntag mal genutzt, um von meinem bisherigen eher einfachen (aber beschränkten) Konstruktionstool wegzukommen und mir mal ein wenig #FreeCAD basics beizubringen. Natürlich am praktischen Beispiel, einem Haken für die Garderobenstange. Ich hab zwar etwas geflucht auf dem Weg bis zum fertigen Objekt - aber es passt super und so Formschön hätte ich das früher nicht hinbekommen.

  18. 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 💙

  19. Ya estamos de vuelta 😊
    Esta semana toca guía práctica de FreeCAD: cómo unir y restar objetos, incluido texto, para piezas reales y no solo ejemplos bonitos.
    La guía ampliada de este tema va gratis para quienes se suscriban este mes 🤭

  20. Is there a concept of attaching the exact program used to create a file to the file? Like: I created this 3D model with this or version, with these patches applied, I want to do something so I can re-open this exact model with that exact version , without glitches, 5 years later. I feel, backwards compatibility is not what it once was. Ideally, double-clicking the file would open it in that initial version.

    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.

  22. @olm_e @FreeCAD You could use :gitannex: and/or :datalad: to version control your designs. I have not tried it with , but I do it all the time with and . Git Annex allows version-controlling arbitrarily-large files and provides a simple 'git annex assist` command to 'do the git stuff' and sync everyone up. Don't know how assemblies work in FreeCAD, but if it is one file that sources other, independent files, then it should work.

  23. I'm happy to announce, that I've published the snap-fit case for the rainbow butterfly soldering kit I've been working on the last couple of weeks 🦋 . It's a 100% #openHardware project licensed under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0+. You can find the full documentation including the native #3Dcad files from #FreeCAD, photos, screenshots, STEP files and so on here: gitlab.com/M4x__/rainbow-butte

    Happy printing!

  24. It's #FreeCADFriday again! I'm still working on the same project - except I'm done modeling and it's already tested (working! 🕺 ). Currently I'm getting things ready for publishing.

  25. EN: I have just finished translating both my zine/poster editions of desenho() (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 abav.lugaralgum.com/como-insta )

    You can download them both from 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() (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 abav.lugaralgum.com/como-insta

    Você pode baixar ambas em 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.

  26. Prototyping some bling for my #InlineSkates with #FreeCAD and #Blender. Printed on my #Anycubic #PhotonMono. Surprised at how well things fit together on the first try, though I'm going to tweak the size and position of things so they don't hang off the back quite so much.

  27. Reading #AlphaFold2 and #OMSF #OpenFold code is great but with #protein #molecules in your hands you feel it better. Designing the kit in #FreeCAD ensures you know bond lengths and angles etc. So I spent few days learning and printing. The kit is optimized for protein #folding, single bond rotates but can be fixed in #peptide bond, it keeps shape even before adding #hydrogen #bonds in #alphahelix (or pair #RNA bases by H-bond).

    Print your #kit and enjoy #biochemistry!

  28. Hi, this is my introduction on this instance, I have just moved from my own self hosted instance.

    I am a boring DevOps father of two girls by day and Artist/Hobbyist/Space Fan by night.

    In terms of art I do a bit of #Photography and #videography and I am currently learning #Blender3D I work mainly with open source/free tools like #Gimp #Inkscape #DavinciResolve #FreeCAD

    For hobbies I fly #RCPlanes, #Drones and #3DPrinting

    Below video is part of a larger animation I am working on

  29. Soeben mit #FreeCAD erstellt. Löcher sind gleichmäßig auf der Oberfläche der Kugel verteilt. Geometrie entspricht den Flächen eines #buckyball
    Löcher sind in Durchmesser und Tiefe parametrisch anpassbar.
    Über den Verwendungszweck kann hier nicht gesprochen werden 😎
