Of course, it's always the hammer's fault when you hit your thumb instead of the nail.

@crazybutable I got inspiration from the Volkswagen's design, which was not 100% compatible as they use different shape lug nuts.
I first made a piece that goes over one nut. After I got one that snapping onto it perfectly, I did a polar pattern on it and did a small ring to connect them so I could print a test piece that fit over all 5 of them.
Once I got the distance right, I just used Revolve tool to turn a profile onto the disc seen outside.
This was on #freecad 0.20 or whatever was out back then.
I can go into Sketch mode and draw over imported STEP file. But then was it the whole point of importing it?
Argh.
also in #brno #hackerspace #base48 this weekend: #FreeCAD 3d modeling workshop!

I am sick of my kids stealing my baking sheets for their #lego builds, so I did a little #3DPrinting and made them this little parts tray for building lego sets.
I think it turned out pretty well (except some of the fine text details). It's designed to be stackable and has radiused internal corners to allow for scooping parts out more easily.

And I know I've been pretty quite development but things have been moving forward, I'm hoping to merge a big branch tonight that will enable projects to be started from either #KiCAD (the default now) or from #FreeCAD.
But more importantly, I've reasserted with my employer that I don't work on Wed/Fri.
whoot. #KiConnect development is moving to support #FreeCAD 1.1 and #KiCAD 10.
At release time I'm unsure if I'll be able to support #KiCAD 9, I suspect there is going to be 1 or 2 missing features that are unlikely to get back ported. Hopefully workaround can be figured out.
