concretedogICYMI I published a little <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeCAD</a> video over on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Makertube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Makertube</a> which is a precursor to other tutorials but looks at common sticking points for learners in video tutorials.

Alex van UnHoldHatten wieder mal einen FuckUp bei einem Prototyp:Sind gerade dabei ein fancy Gehäuse in <a href="https://mastodon.fsinf.at/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeCAD</a> zu designen. Erster Prototyp wurde gestern 3d gedruckt. Problem: Beim Scharnier berührten sich die Wände. Das führte leider dazu, dass das Teil in einem Stück gedruckt wurde.

SP⟁CED GO⟁TI started learning <a href="https://appdot.net/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeCAD</a> so I can do some panel layout and wiring diagrams for a little project. SOOOO many of the freecad tutorial videos really focus on using freecad to design parts for 3D printing. Now I REALLY want a <a href="https://appdot.net/tags/3DPrinter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#3DPrinter</a>. Two things I've wanted for probably the last decade are a record player and a 3D printer, but I haven't had the space. Now I have the space. I suppose choices will need to be made at some point here.

AllynMy wife fell in love with this little duck on holidays, she even had a spot picked out for it - so my daughter and I sneakily bought it and smuggled it home without her knowing. I took the opportunity to design and print a mid century modern style mini table to display it in our downstairs toilet.

Pepijn[thread for a little hobby project] 🧵 🚂 Couple days ago <a href="https://gruene.social/@jon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@jon</a> stumbled upon a pair of truly amazing maintenance trains (<a href="https://gruene.social/@jon/114851694450625154" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://gruene.social/@jon/114851694450625154</a>). They're basically sheds on wheels.I decided to construct some 1:87 / H0 scale versions. The models won't be 1:1 copies but instead "inspired copies" (if alone as it'll be difficult to get down the utter dorkiness of the real things).First model will be the boxed trailer.

EskibrewA bit late for <a href="https://floss.social/tags/FreeCADFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeCADFriday</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">#scouting</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. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@FreeCAD" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@FreeCAD</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FreeCAD</a> Maybe I should consider making a video showing the workflow of this sort of case design 🤔
