Comes around fast! It's #FreeCADFriday once again! What are you working on in #FreeCAD today? Happy weekend to everyone in the community. #opensource #CAD

Took a minute to play with the tools in the Fused Filament Design add on @rahix created for @FreeCAD

Pretty impressive. I am going to have to use the hole tool more often to be able to really make use of this... I usually just sketch and pocket my holes, but these time savers are worth breaking habits.

Very impressive stuff.

Finally had the time to take some of the topics from my blog post about design for #3Dprinting and make them into a proper #FreeCAD addon!

You can download "FusedFilamentDesign" from the FreeCAD addon manager.

Also check it out here: https://github.com/rahix/FusedFilamentDesign

(This addon also integrates the macros I mentioned here a few weeks ago)

Another little #mayke today. This one combines a bit of scrap Hacksaw blade, some mini grinding, a quick @FreeCAD design and a #3Dprint and a bit of #paracord work to make this tiny knife! #tools #FreeCAD https://concretedog.blogspot.com/2025/05/tiny-diy-knife-from-hacksaw-blade.html

One of the locking levers for the convertible top vanished between last week and today. The good news is that even though this is a 50 year old car I can get a new one for $13. The bad news is it takes a week to ship. I thought about milling one from brass but #freecad is a pretty quick way to model something good enough. I told prusaslicer to use 5 layers for wall thickness in hopes it would be strong enough to last until the new one arrives.

Gosh it's #freecadfriday once again! What are you lovely people up to with #FreeCAD?

Something for the weekend? I'm super pleased to have just blogged with the 1st issue of #SOURCE. SOURCE is an idea for where to place articles I'd like to write but that are to difficult for my brilliant paid clients to home. SOURCE is opensource, free (pay as you feel) and I'd LOVE it if you shared my first experimental issue on Computational Fluid Dynamics with @FreeCAD that's on this blog. Ta.

If #FreeCAD had a #SuperTuxKart racer, what would it be or look like?

Hey! It's #FreeCADFriday once again! Show us what you're working on in #FreeCAD #CAD #OpenSource

Very useful article on #3dprinting about how to design and orient your #3dprinted parts:

Well, once again it's #FreeCADFriday! Show us what you're working on! #FreeCAD #CAD #CAM #Opensource

I was wondering : is there any other vehicle being primary developed with #blender ? #b3d
with the #shifti #veli @Shifti_SC I use #freecad to communicate with others when necessary (for STEP f.ex.) but the main work is done in blender from the ideas to the CNC cut, measurements for the workshop etc
as we are still in prototype phase, it's very useful to go quickly, copy paste change, replace, redo
and I can also do rendering and videos ! (damn blender is magic !! )

Da mir nichts anderes mehr einfällt, wie ich meine Geisenheimer-Walnuss Nr.26 (spätaustreibend u. daher spätfrostsicher) vor den Nacktschnecken schützen soll, habe ich mir dieses #3DDruck-Teil konstruiert.

Es ist als Schneckenbarriere gedacht - ich hoffe die Mistviecher nehmen das ernst

Davor stand da schon mal eine kleinere M120 die gnadenlos zu Tode gefressen wurde.

Gedruckt wurde mit klatschnassem PETG, daher die unterirdische Qualität.

So langsam bekomme ich Übung im Umgang mit #FreeCAD

Für meine Technik-Wand fehlte noch ein Halter. Darin steckt mein #ProxMOX Host.

Ich finde das Design ganz gelungen. Wenig Material, trotzdem stabil und ohne Stützen zu drucken.
