I've been enjoying improvements to the #FreeCAD TechDraw workbench while using the 1.1dev builds. This video is a nice summary, and it includes some improvements I didn't previously learn about about while making drawings to support my machining hobby. 😀

What’s New in FreeCAD 1.1 Tech Draw Workbench

Finally project vacuum table for the #cnc reached a state where it could be used to hold something.

I had to plane the spoilboard, create new 3D printed adaptors in #FreeCAD , with used bicycle hose for gaskets, route better air inlets, adjust this and that, make mistakes, fix mistakes, etc

But finally it's looking like it may actually be useful.

Gibt's Experten für #FreeCAD an der #eh23? Ich hätte da eine Frage....

@amd and they are editable, select extra edges from the sketch then drag the sketch into the SSB yo add those edges. Hold Ctrl while doing that drag and it will replace the edges.

I've been doing some master sketch based designs recently, it is an interesting and powerful design method in #FreeCAD

Oh, shiny, now I found something else I want! 😁

I got bored of manually measuring and entering dimensions during 3D modelling.

So, I got a Bluetooth-connected caliper and hacked together a new #FreeCAD addon to use it as an input device

For April Fools' Day earlier this week, I created a QR code magnet with FreeCAD and an online QR code generator. I stuck one to the fridge in each break area at work.

Arguably my most loved Workbench in #FreeCAD (beside PartDesign, where I spend the vast majority of my time) is the ThreadProfile Bench. You can create both External and Internal Threads with nothing but a few clicks and - given your printer is at least somewhat precise - they should fit nicely without much post-processing!
