@DA6SEB I build FreeCAD from git to play with new features before weekly builds, and occasionally to report bugs.
When I first used FreeCAD something like a decade ago, I was flummoxed, googled "OpenSCAD cheat sheet" and followed the first hit, and didn't touch FreeCAD again for a few years. But now I feel quite fluent designing in FreeCAD. I think that Darren Stone ("MangoJelly") has really enabled new users by his short, approachable tutorials that don't assume you have watched everything he's ever produced, in order...
These paddles feel like #FreeCADFriday material!
Have you thought about posting STEP or even FCStd files as well as the STLs?
Dnešní odpoledne bude patřit 3D tisku 😅
Už mi zbývá jen pár částí, odhadem tak 4-5h tisku.
Aktuálně mám hotový rámeček jen pro Rock 5B, ale díky rastru na straně by neměl být problém vložit dovnitř cokoliv, co se vměstná do rozměrů 123x152mm.
Inspired by the Japanese Landscape Association Kei-Tora Garden Competition. I've designed and printed a bed liner for the WPL D12 and CXD D12 Mini for some microgreen growing fun with the boys.
Time to attach the toolhead board.
I am using the Fysetc H36 which has a nice high temperature rated chipset, fan tach pins, and variable fan voltages which makes it play super nice with a Xol toolhead.
It also comes with a pretty nice umbilical cable with an over molded connector.
I remixed a mount that @koz was working on and came up with this in #FreeCAD.
Seems to fit pretty well, clears everything, gives some strain relief to the soldered connector, and should keep the molded cable in place as there is no positive retention clip.

Next up: I wrote a #FreeCAD macro for rib thread forming, rule R5.4 from my Design for 3D-Printing guide.

I didn't even have time to verify all the thread sizes yet (because I'm not home and no mobile 3D-printer yet), so if someone wants to help out here, please do :)

A wheel turning device / roller for my #velomobiles, so I can lubricate or clean the chain more easy. I still have to add motor, gears and some other parts to the model.
