#FreeGrid issue #1 just closed today. It's now a #FreeCAD Workbench available through the Addon manager. I got credited due to some small work I did, but my contributions to FreeGrid have been small. FreeGrid is mostly original work from @in3dca and some great work from @hasecilu over the past several months to create the Workbench and make it parametric instead of a procedural macro.
When FreeGrid was first created, Gridfinity was basically limited to Fusion 360, and FreeGrid was the alternative that didn't tie you to a particular vendor. Now Gridfinity is truly openly available for OpenSCAD and FreeCAD as well, which is awesome. I can see myself using both systems, depending on whether 50mm spacing (FreeGrid) or 42mm spacing (Gridfinity) makes most sense for any particular use case, and whether particular modules I want to use already exist for one system or the other. Vive la différence!

Woah, someone just posted a link to #FreeGrid in an #InfiniGrid forum on reddit and my site is blowing up! [relatively speaking, so anything more than the occasional drip is "blowing up" 😀 ]

@trevorflowers Thanks @in3dca for FreeGrid!☺ 🎉
I admit I got lost trying to fully follow the shapes being built in StorageGrid.py when I wanted to try to optimize them to make the macros run faster. I kept thinking that it should be possible to speed it up, but never succeeding because I couldn't seem to keep all the shapes in my head while trying to modify them. Were there any tricks you used during development to develop it one piece at a time?
However, for those who enjoy doing that, there's an #OpenSCAD macro package for #Gridfinity; I wonder if anyone would be interested in making a fork of that, tweaked for nice regular 50mm #FreeGrid layout, for those who prefer building in text? 🤔

So it's been a while since I've had some time with #FreeGrid but I got a few hours to make some tweaks. v1.2.1 is out with minor updates:
- Control the floor supports from the UI (thanks @mcdanlj)
- A zero-height box now generates a flat base to build on
- Generated objects are refined and look much prettier ;)

Four days later, a #FreeGrid caliper module with parameters for just about everything. Also has storage for 12 batteries and the little screwdriver needed to open the battery compartment.

New #FreeGrid module on the way! Will post the finished print later today.

I found my 2mm endmill. It has a 4mm shank, and it was hiding in the 4mm R8 collet. 😁
I need to get back at some point to working on #freegrid and building out my organization system so I can find things!
