Tutorial: Getting Started With the SheetMetal Workbench
FreeCAD is excellent in that it can be used for design projects for all manner of fabrication approaches. A really interesting fabrication approach is cutting, bending and joining sheet metal. As such FreeCAD has a dedicated addon workbench that’s incredibly helpful in designing for flat sheet materials. #CAD #CAM #MetalWork #Fabrication

Please Please stop the madness! Stop using Java-script for Unix/Linux tutorials !!

As an intensive Unix and Linux user, I love to use a command-line browser. As a rule, these are links, elinks or lynx for me.

So far, they have guided me to my goal at lightning speed, are resource-saving, require little bandwidth, do not distract with unnecessary bells and whistles and, above all, they work even if the X-system fails and I have to boot without a desktop !

For me, commandline or text-based browsers are part of the Linux fire brigade and are the salvation of many users in need. But it doesn't help at all if manuals, help pages and other tutorials use Java-script!

In the example below, you can see a search query in the links browser with the parameters: "Linux close all windows commandline"

Of the 10 websites shown in the search results, 7 (!) could not be displayed at all because of Javascript, 2 did not really correspond to the parameters and only one (the github page) had a corresponding readable answer.

Does that make sense?
Absolutely not!!

Therefore, an anxious request:

Dear Tutorial Content Creators, Dear OS Developers please stop using Javascript or at least provide a plain text or html option, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

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"
