#freecadfriday — Public Fediverse posts

Well apparently I'm following up on this on actual #FreeCADFriday this time, unlike last week's post. Last week's custom typecase tray was almost right!

• The cells weren't quite wide/tall enough; I had more of some characters than I realized because I'd never sorted them before...
• I had more other characters than I realized that I had to jumble together in a few cells each, so I really wanted more cells.
• The cells weren't quite deep enough either!
• The tool tray in the back was perfect, though!

The fact that I'd made this highly parametric came in handy. In fact, the only thing I hadn't made parametric I had to make parametric this time around!

It is even closer to square, and it's printing now. I didn't print the lid last time, so I am not wasting that material anyway.

My submission for #freecadfriday is a shroud to adapt a 140 mm fan to two passively-cooled AMD Radeon video cards.

This nearly broke me, and definitely broke FreeCAD multiple times, but I have made a working iris, animated in the assembly workbench. #FreeCADfriday #3dprinting #FreeCAD

@Holger_Marlow ich habe schon mal grob was zusammengebaut, brauche aber noch ein paar Maße, vor allem von dem "Connector" Teil da am unteren Ende, das ja bestimmt irgendwo drauf gesteckt wird. Muss ich dann aber später noch mal am großen Bildschirm machen 👍️

Das passt wunderbar zum heutigen #FreeCaDFriday 😆

Fantastic to see people playing with the 26.3 first release candidate this #FreeCADFriday.

Made an huge battery pack by FreeCAD that fit's and give a Thunder for e-bike :) #FreeCADfriday Thanks developers for v26.3 RC1!

@freecad
Now that the navigation light fits and works on my Alpha W9 #velomobile, I take this #FreeCADfriday to build a taller (more than twice as high) and somewhat sturdier version for the Strada Velomobile. I do this in #FreeCAD 26.3.0RC1, which works fine so far.

(Though I very much hope, issue #32955 will make it into 26.3 release.)

It's #FreeCADFriday and in case you didn't notice we announced the 26.3 release candidate! As ever post what you are working on with #FreeCAD but huge extra kudos if you are testing 26.3 RC1! https://blog.freecad.org/2026/10/08/freecad-26-3-release-candidate-1/

I printed a tool holder for my 3D printer. I originally made this ages ago in #SolidWorks. Now, I needed a modified version, so I recreated it in #FreeCAD. It's a fairly easy model. A piece of cake for FreeCAD.

Every year at #Christmas, my father-in-law builds a very large nativity scene with antique figurines in his #church. The figurines have wooden joints, some broken over the years.
He asked if I could 3D-print replacement parts.
Modeling them in #FreeCAD went quickly, printing them took significantly longer.
