Design for 3D Printing, An Excellent Article
It's wonderful when people take the time to share the expertise they've developed. Even more so when the resulting article is filled with FreeCAD screenshots.

Fabulous FreeCAD user Rahix has put together this impressive long read (80 mins) over on their blog. It's a collection of knowledge relating to various areas of 3D printing and it's an amazing read! Thanks @rahix blog.freecad.org/2025/05/08/de

You kinda NEED to watch some #tutorials if you want to learn #Unity, but how much do you learn from blindly following along? Is there value in just skimming tutorial videos? This video is my plan for how I intend to learn Unity by following along with some tutorials, but only skimming others, and then practicing by building out practice games from scratch. youtube.com/watch?v=FAZbGMOdhC #gamedev #solodev #gamedevjourney

Tutorial:Getting Started with Spreadsheets and Parametric Design.
Amongst the built in collection of FreeCAD workbenches, you may have noticed one for creating and working with spreadsheets. Whilst you could use this to track your expenses, let’s look at an example project where a spreadsheet is really useful!

Tutorial: Custom Toolbars
When you use any tool for a while you often build a more personal connection to it. Perhaps you have that old screwdriver in a drawer that’s become polished with years of use and fits your hand perfectly.In this tutorial we'll look at modifying existing toolbars and creating our own custom toolbars to personalise our #FreeCAD experience.

I wrote a better #medium #tutorial #article #parody of #python #programming #tutorials in which I hilariously misunderstood python to be a reference to #sbcl #commonLisp #lisp (heir to CMUCL python).

medium.com/@screwlisp/this-is-

I also address two fascinating medium trends I discovered.

1. The intense swapping-whispered-ghost-stories about lisp by scientist writers

2. Most articles named "Free Python Tutorial!" have no code, but links to purchasing training.

I eventually found "11 one-liners"

@lumen Hey, thanks so much :)

The main two apps that will initially be using it are Place (codeberg.org/place/app) and Domain (codeberg.org/domain/app) — both under heavy development at the moment.

There are some mini apps I made that you can play, each with their own tutorial.

• Draw Together (draw-together.small-web.org; tutorial: kitten.small-web.org/tutorials)
• Kitten Kawaii (kitten-kawaii.small-web.org/ch, write up: ar.al/2024/08/19/kitten-kawaii)
• Streamiverse¹ (streamiverse.small-web.org, tutorial: kitten.small-web.org/tutorials)

And you can find a host of little examples in the codebase:

codeberg.org/kitten/app/src/br

Hope that helps. Until the Small Web stuff is publicly released I don’t really foresee a lot of folks using it. Although I know a few people are playing with it.

¹ Just noticed I need to improve it so it recaches profile images if they’ve changed. Noticed a couple of broken ones.

Tutorial: Using the Measure tool in Version 1.0
Amongst the many changes you may have noticed in version 1, the Standard Measure tool icon has changed from an image of a tape measure to a set of Vernier Calipers. It’s not just the icon that’s changed though, the underlying measuring tools have been improved and expanded.

I got tired of going outside and looking at the thermometer, so I got a digital weather station off Temu.

But then I got too lazy to walk to the refrigerator to read the base station’s display, so I hacked together a way to connect it to the Internet. Okay, so that’s not the main reason. I did it because I wanted a fancy APRS-enabled weather station without the price tag, so in the spirit of ham radio and hacking, I set out to build my own.

Then I hooked it up to Mastodon as @weather because… okay, I don’t have a good reason for that.

Tutorial: Festive Tree Decoration, Using the Revolution Tool!
The FreeCAD community is a wonderful diverse place and certainly not everyone in the community will be involved in traditions of bringing trees into their homes and then decorating them! However a festive tree decoration, in the shape of a tree, can be a good mini project for playing with the Revolution tool. #freecad #CAD #tutorials
