@claudius Sadly I started a few projects on #freecad link branch which seems to have been abandoned. The files are not compatible with the main branch.
But in General freecad development has done leaps in the last few years. Now if only the maintainers of some specialty workbenches could catch up...

New current collectors just dropped. Testing out LaserBoost in Spain. Pretty cool you can just upload a .step file from #FreeCAD and be auto-quoted for sheet metal manufacturing.

It's important that all your TPU printing projects fit on the masking tape that's been on the print bed for 6 months.

Tutorial: Importing and Using Scaled Reference Images

... Aus alt mach neu. #freecad #opensource #hamradio . Eine Ameritron 5-fach Umschaltung für KW mit einem ziehmlich vergammelten Bodenblech, ersetzt durch 4 mm Alu, gefräst mit Linux-CNC, Gcode mit Freecad CAM. Kommt bald auf meinen renovierten Hummelmast mit ebenso renovierten Fritzelbeam (Sturmschaden) und reparierten Rotor RC5A-3 (Steuergerät Blitzschlag).

After some head scratching, I found couple of spots where I could make it thicker than the original while keeping it drop-in compatible.

The shape's a bit tricky as I can't have layer seams across the weakest part, which means it has to be printed on its side. And preferably of something really durable like PA. Or maybe ASA will work too. I'll have to experiment on this.

Oddly, my first use of #freecad 1.1 was about doing an instruction manual (no modeling...) but it all looks nice and smooth #floss #3d #cad #circuits
