Replied to FreeCAD

@FreeCAD This week, I released the first beta version of my parametric 3D-printed morse code key. It is a set consisting of a key plus various kinds of mounting or holding arrangements. Screwed down to a desk or block, strapped to your leg, or held in your other hand.

Almost everything about it is parameterized with VarSets for ease of customization, and I wrote a macro to export STEP and STL variants with different built-in 3d-printed springs from light to heavy tension, different lengths of sliding covers, different heights above your leg for the leg mount, and more.

Designed in local builds of FreeCAD 1.1 dev running on Fedora 41. Licensed liberally CC-SA to let others modify and share their modifications.

I'm not fully happy with this one yet, but it works and I'm using it. I've been sitting on it for a while now and I need to just publish it because I'm not sure when I'm going to get to the V1.5 improvements I want to do.

Here's my take on a simple fume extractor that uses a couple of easily obtainable and off the shelf parts.

If you're sucking solder fumes and have a printer and about $15 for materials. Here you go: https://www.printables.com/model/1211096-solder-fume-extractor

FreeCAD Freddy

For our 3d print workshop I've created FreeCad Freddy.
This is a cute cube like character.
I was trying to create a simple but fun project for others to make when they use FreeCAD for the first time.

The design is just a basic cube with legs and from there you can customize it the way you like!
I gave this one curly hair and a big smile.
Curious to see what you are able to create, enjoy!
