Eskibrew<p>A bit late for <a href="https://floss.social/tags/FreeCADFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeCADFriday</span></a> but I enjoyed laying out some parts for a <a href="https://floss.social/tags/scouting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>scouting</span></a> project and then constructing a case around them. It's to be handheld so I chose to put the battery in the handle since it seemed to be a ideal place, with the USB-C charging port on the bottom. <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@FreeCAD" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>FreeCAD</span></a></span> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeCAD</span></a><br>Maybe I should consider making a video showing the workflow of this sort of case design 🤔</p>

cpresser<p>First time for me to post a <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/FreeCADFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeCADFriday</span></a> project:<br>This is a cover for a LiFePo Battery-Pack. It used to have a metal lid, but I added a balancer and some USB-C-PD modules plus new connectors, so there was not enough space left in the original housing.</p><p>To check if the drawing fits, I scanned the original lid and mocked it up in <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeCAD</span></a>. It looks like it aligned quite well. Lets see if the actual 3D-Print also fits :)</p>

Jelle Haandrikman<p>Today we published Release 2 of the Tanmatsu 3D mechanical parts. These consist of the 3D printed case, spacer and speaker_adapter. This release entails a complete re-implementation in FreeCAD 1.0.1 It's for the revision 1, 2 and 3 of the Tanmatsu. We also added some cosmetic touches for the expansion connecter and audio connector. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/badge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>badge</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/ESP32P4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ESP32P4</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeCAD</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/FreeCADFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeCADFriday</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://hsnl.social/@badgeteam" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>badgeteam</span></a></span></p>
