big ole spiderbox#FreeCADFriday This is a mechanical device for toggling a computer desk's built-in power strip switch without having to strain your hand reaching around for it.
@freecad I needed a bespoke mount for a switch used as a tool length setter for a small CNC machine. FreeCAD and 3D printing to the rescue! #freecadfriday
TinxOn 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.
James Derrick@freecad #FreeCAD I made a heavily over-engineered eurocylinder gate holdback after discovering "Create External Geometry" in secondary sketches! #freecadfriday
MonomoSince the old covers were quite worn out and I simply didn't like the gray anymore, I'm glad to be able to print my own now.

concretedog@freecad A little in between other projects #prototype has been this DIN rail stand. This smol one is really just a test to dial in some dimensions for the DIN rail seating section and a larger desktop DIN Lab is the aim! #FreeCADFriday #CAD
Laura@freecad I'm working on rebuilding and improving one of those crappy cnc-routerrs. So I bought Linear rails for the longest axis,, I'm using the somewhat beefier linear rods of that axis for the rather short z, and I'm putting actual axial bearings onto the lead screws (Rather than just using the bearings in the steppers for that)
FreeCADGood Morning! It's #FreeCADFriday once again! Show us what you are working on in #FreeCAD at the moment. #CAD #CAM
Philip WilsonA couple of years ago I designed a pack rack adapter for my bike. It bolts to the pack rack from underneath with some M6 bolts. Unfortunately the space between the underside of the pack rack and the mudguard and pack rack struts is quite limited -- really awkward to get a spanner in and turn. I hadn't worried about that awkwardness, since I very rarely need to remove it.
For the last couple of weeks I'd been procrastinating on the need to adjust the adapter position, because of the awkwardness. Then 5 minutes of quick and dirty part design in FreeCAD followed by 13 minutes of 3D printing, and the adjustment job was easy. 5 grams of plastic. (And that little spanner takes up almost no space in my saddle bags.)
Offerman IndustriesNow I can test fit the indicator ligths on the top and the push buttons at the front edge -- all waterproof. It's a tight fit, but everything lines up nicely.
What's left is to complete the design of the PCB. From the limited space available, I expect there to be two PCBs stacked on top of each other: the top one for the display and MCU, the bottom one to interface with the lights, buttons, sensors, and the bike's wire loom.
