All in all, there’s a lot in #FreeCAD I like. I see how it makes you more reliant on good parametric structure at the sketch phase vs. Fusion… so I’m needing to build those habits vs. being sloppier (but currently faster) in Fusion. It’s going to take me a while to get used to some of that and reach a similar result as quickly.

I’m in 1.1 rc3 right now and did hit some crashes and oddities for sure, but I accept that. I am a little surprised how few Fusion -> #Freecad 1.x tutorials exist. 2/2

Spent a good bit of Friday and some of yesterday diving headlong into #FreeCAD using my #Gridfinity customized tool bins (tracing, etc) as momentum. Went down a few dead ends and lots of Kagi searches translating Fusion 360 knowledge and workflow.

I got to a functional bin in pretty short order once I really started the process, but I stumbled a lot on making the separate liner that I generate as a projection of the shape scaled to 0.99 in Fusion. I get the gist, but need to revisit. 1/2

Hopefully squashed an unexpected bug in my #FreeCAD macro Mesh_to_Solid. Thanks to @LovesTha for pointing it out.

Mesh_to_Solid

This is a macro to automate conversion of imported mesh objects into solid shapes for further modification

I've added a hinge part in the game. Same procedure: modeled with #FreeCAD, then textured in #Blender, and integrated in the game with the #Godot editor. This works great! At least for prototyping.

Ich mag FreeCAD, aber bei sich wiederholenden Mustern kommt das Ding ganz schnell an seine Grenzen. Wenn ich hier die Parameter des MultiTransform ändere, dauert das gerne mal 30 Sekunden, bis das Programm wieder reagiert.

#FreeCAD 1.0.2 mi začal vykazovat celkem otravný bug bez toho, abych měnil nastavení nebo se aktualizoval balík. Do nedávna se každá položka defaultně jmenovala tak, jako v projektu. Teď se to stane při prvním exportu, ale export dalších dílů už si vždycky drží předchozí název. Chjo 😕

Hi! If there any Ai that could create engineering drawing / blueprint of anything you like just from description?

My first FreeCAD Addon, to add "Save As Increment" features from Blender 3D and with timestamps. https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?p=878905#p878905 and instructions here https://github.com/jefe317/SaveUtils #freecad

Ich bin ganz dolle stolz auf mich, weil ich mein erstes Objekt in Freecad erstellt habe und unser Logo drauf legen konnte. Das sieht so simpel aus, aber erst einmal verstehen, was das Programm nun von mir will ... 😁 Danke @Matthias für die schnell Einweisung

On this sunny #FreeCADFriday, I continue my bike series with a pair of leg clips.

Print them to protect your pants from the freshly greased bike chain! ✨

The clip is created from a single B-spline curve which is then offset using Part > 2D Offset. The chamfer had to be created manually using a sweep and its angle is optimized for improved printability.
