So in my new adventures in CAD-as-code design, screenshot for a current WIP for a CBQ Wood Frame Passenger Truck No 7 is below.

I used build123d to construct the model in Python, and FreeCAD and jdegenstein's fork of jmwright's fork of CadQuery's CQ-editor for visualisation

I got this far using CBQ Diagram No's 8621-A and 9915-B, and CAD render of a very detailed model from Dale Grice, who way back when built an excellent 1.6 scale set of the trucks.

The end goal is to make them good enough to 3D print for N Scale (1:16) for use with metal wheelsets, and use on some kitbashed and/or scratchbuilt Q waycars ("cabooses".

Any Australian N scale model railroaders here on fedi?

I've been doing some experiments with Scaleway Serverless services, OpenWebUI and serverless AI inference providers (Nscale, Nebius) for a more personal AI service, while betting on EU cloud/tech providers with, at least, a bit more commitment to sustainability and renewable energy sources.

I published a small sandbox project I've used to test the Docker container configuration here: https://github.com/pedrosanta/openwebui-docker-serverless

Scratch building a city pub from card in N Scale for my N Gauge model railway

Tux is the construction foreman tonight. 🐧👷‍♂️

We are LIVE and printing a massive N-Scale haul: Tunnels, Silos, and Tanks! Slicing and streaming entirely from Linux because open source builds better worlds.

Come hang out while the extruder does its thing! 🔴 https://www.twitch.tv/tuxramus
