Work in progress - Taking @Liz29's hand-drawn sketch into 3D using #FreeCAD, and using CAM to create machine instructions for #CNCRouter

Working with @Liz29 to design & build a Japanese-style sushi board, to be carved into 3D using a CNC router, and then marked with Japanese characters using a CO2 laser. Started with her hand-drawn sketch, designed in 3D using #FreeCAD (on #Mint #Debian #Linux). Used FreeCAD CAM (computer aided manufacturing) tool to design the machine instructions for the #CNCRouter

@chrishuck Also all the joint constraint markers have moved a long way from the assembly, so when I snap to view all, the assembly is tiny on screen as the joint markers are miles away. I don't know how that happened. For comparison, this mechanism behaves very well in Solidworks which I also use. But I would really like to be able to share my project in #FreeCAD if I can get it to work.

#FreeCad hat für mich mittlerweile SolidEdge auf Arbeit überflüssig gemacht. Ja ich benutze CAD auch nur für Aufträge für die feinmechanische Werkstatt und internen 3D-Druck, aber ich vermisse nichts und finde FreeCad in manchen Bereichen sogar deutlich intuitiver zu bedienen. Deswegen: Ein Hoch auf freie Software!
