  1. Raspberry Pi feels like a 1990s sweet old PC all over again.

    The excitement of connecting devices, like GPIO pins, recalls serial and parallel ports

    Tweaking, adjusting, and troubleshooting teaches you more than just following instructions

    Growing your Pi and skills brings joy in ways automated systems can’t

    Constraints spark creativity and deep learning

  3. 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.
