@freecad yet another improvement of the dry box project:

One axle per wheel is now detachable, making it easier to install the wheels.

The axles are pulled into the sides by screws, locking them into place.

I encountered bad filament that was a lot more brittle than before. It was impossible to install the wheels without breaking the sides.
With the detachable axles, it is still necessary to bend the sides a little, but to a much smaller extend.

Absolutely awesome to see some wip #FreeCADDesignCompetition entries in todays #FreeCADFriday ICYMI there's still definitely time to enter and have a chance at a cash prize! #OpenScience https://blog.freecad.org/2026/05/01/freecad-community-design-contest-2026-open-science/
FreeCAD Community Design Contest 2026: Open Science

The FreeCAD Project Association (FPA) are really pleased to share our first community design competition. We really want to see how people are using FreeCAD and thought a competition might be the w…

From what I read online I understand that KiCad has basic support for multiple boards; I'll only have to add a few connectors to interconnect this sandwich. Let's see how that works out.

Exported the PCB outlines from FreeCAD using the KiCad StepUp workbench. These are the most oddly shaped boards I've ever created. I definately need two, as the electronics are way too much to fit on a single (double-sided) board. The top one will for the display components, the bottom one for the connectors.

The good thing of this stack is that it allows me to glue in the two sensors using some potting compound.

The Fasteners workbench works really great: it allowed me to have all rivnuts, standoffs and bolts placed automatically by selecting the top edge first.

The housing is done for now, will be switching to KiCad for the electronics.
I probably will eventually have to make the housing a little deeper (higher) to accommodate the full stack.

Made great progress on my digital cockpit for the old-school Honda MT bikes: created the inner parts, a stack of two PCBs, also holding two Hall-effect sensors for the speedometer and tachometer.

Drew the outlines for the two PCBs in the Sketcher, while at the same displaying the inside of the housing and the sensor mockups. That allowed me to follow the inner curves closely and create all holes and cutouts at the right places.

It's another #FreeCADFriday and I share another printable design created with @freecad!

I made magnetic tags to label the printer configuration. This is an easy way to prevent material or nozzle size mixups.
I place them where they are visible through the camera so that they can be seen via #OctoPrint.
