  1. MakeUseOf: This free CAD software runs in your browser and puts expensive programs to shame. “Computer-aided design has a reputation problem. For most people, a CAD design means multi-gigabyte installers, clunky license managers, and subscriptions that sometimes cost more than the hardware your PC has. Now there are a lot of design tools that don’t require a subscription, but one of them is […]

  6. @twilliability LTSpice reminds me a bit of #solvespace, which has completely ignored every single UI fad of the last 30 years.

  8. Restarting my efforts to learn CAD. This time with Solvespace which is actually surprisingly accessible considering the first visual impression. Freecad just never really clicked with me.

    Following along the excellent tutorials by Paul Luton like this one: youtube.com/watch?v=vBNAIMiomls

  21. A collage of parts I made in Solvespace.

    I agreed with myself on using Freecad now but when I recently went back to SolveSpace it just felt so snappy and fun again.

  23. Remastered walkthrough! Watch a clean Solvespace build of a Geneva drive, then 3D-print the parts—step-by-step CAD tricks, parametric tips, and print hacks for makers who love mechanical motion. A great hands-on remix inspired by Maker's Muse. #Solvespace #GenevaDrive #3DPrinting #CAD #Maker #DIY #MechanicalDesign #OpenSource #English

  24. The knob of the dimmer in the kitchen was broken. I designed a simple knob in as a replacement. The color is not exactly matching but I had this filament lying around.

  29. 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.

  31. @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.

  35. fluencyCAD in the wilds

    I just mirrored the fluencyCAD repository to the open section form internal so anyone who is interested have a look. Don´t expect super clean stuff though. It´s in a very early experimental state.

    I´ll add more documentation as I find more time.
