@gbrnt wait, is that #FreeCAD? The default blue background is a telltale.

Here's a first draft of the mouthpiece half - this should work ok. The other half with the sensor should be quite simple and can wait until tomorrow.

@FreeCAD not very exciting ... but been testing LibreDWG support for opening some 2D DWG files.

Working on a semi-technical add-on for my workstation console. Building a "card cage" for 3 plywood "cards", each of which is custom-designed to hold a part of the rig's cable plant... power supply for the monitor, USB hub, strain relief+egress.

The cards will slide in and out of the cage like removable disks. Decide on different gear down the road... just swap out the component mounts.

@FreeCAD Today, I've build two exercise models for my "FreeCAD students" to work on.

@FreeCAD This is great news! Maybe it's brain damage but I've come to see the practice of deliberately structuring dependencies in a model to work around this issue as good and hygienic. On the other hand, fewer new users will be turned off after being enraged at the inability to modify a sketch deep in the model without blowing it up and having to start over from scratch.

One of my favorite parts of building a new piece with #freecad is working in the Path workbench to build all of the toolpaths to create the parts on the CNC machine.

Before FreeCAD, I worked with Fusion360. For the work I'm doing, I don't miss Fusion at all!

@FreeCAD I worked on a wooden trike concept, but never found the time to finish it or build a prototype.

I also made plans for a shack for children, which I built for real and they like it a lot :-)

In both projects, FreeCAD helped me visualize, and identify mistakes before building.

Great tool, even if not fully stable yet.

@FreeCAD

Did a parametric construction of a machine cubicle and a compressor silencer box for a CNC milling machine.

Sorry, the project is not cleaned up yet ...

* Sketcher Trim tool now doubles as a delete tool, if the geometry clicked on isn't intersected by other geometry. This is actually a request I had made to Abdullah, the Sketcher developer, a couple of years ago! 😀
