Jason von Nieda 🐀Every time, recently, when I have a good reason to sit down and do 3D work and really get into it, I am just so thankful for #FreeCAD.

morganholey holes! Internal holes work again, one of many casualties of the recent rewrite to be reincorporated.
I'm really happy development is picking back up as my life stabilizes a bit, I had ~6 weeks of hard deadlines in April/May that consumed most of my time.
Additionally there were a couple hard rewrites that were difficult to think through with the limited time I did have. Rewrite isn't quite done, but I'm happy with it for the v1 release.
#KiConnect v1.0 release date: July 15.
MonomoAfter years of pain I made a set of simple tools to tighten and loosen the most common panel nuts found in my DIY electronics projects. like EuroRack modules 🎛 microcontroller Project cases.
they've made assembly much easier for me. Hopefully they'll be useful for others too!

I uploaded also the @freecad file
FreeCADFreeCAD is switching to the CalVer scheme for versioning releases and a new development cycle that introduces time-based releases. Here is a quick primer on why the team is doing that and how this will affect users.

concretedogLittle one minute video uploaded to @MakerTube showing off #FoamO my DIY 4 Axis #CNC Foam cutting machine cutting a small and thin part I designed in @freecad . I wanted to see how well FoamO does with thin sheets and it's doing it well! There's a first part article in the current issue of @rpimag if anyone is interested.

Avian Hang GlidersThis #freecadfriday I've been working on the winglets again. Finally got a nice 3D printed core structure, designed in @freecad printed on my Prusa XL. It clicks together really nicely and is featherlight. I bond it into the carbon skins using strips of UD carbon, so it makes a lovely light and very rigid structure. The 3D print is just the support; it stops the carbon buckling so that it can be really thin. It took a few iterations to get to a design that I could be proud of!
Hello people of the internet,
I found this interesting and ancient FreeCAD issue:https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues/5560
Chrissy 🐈⬛Alter, ist @freecad 1.1.1 toll geworden. Da hat sich seit 1.0 doch nochmal einiges krass verbessert. Als ich 2018 anfing, exzessiv mit #FreeCAD zu arbeiten (ja, auch beruflich), war es normal, dass kaum was zuverlässig funktionierte ohne das die Software crasht. Seitdem konnte man echt prima zu sehen, wie es von Woche zu Woche besser wurde. Großen Dank an alle Entwicklerinnen und Entwickler =^.^=
NUeB#FreeCADfriday – modeling a magnetic actionCam mount for the #RunCam thumb2 for those #velomobile rides without the raceHood on ('cos of current temperatures 😅).
I get to really love #FreeCAD 's Assembly workbench for proofing dimensions and visualizing the whole product for others.

Anthony HortonGiven all the lights that shine onto my telescope when it's in my back yard I decided to make a lens hood for it to keep stray light out of the lens.
I'm considering this the Mark I prototype. It's a super simple conical design with a single baffle at the entrance aperture. I knocked the design up in FreeCAD, sliced in Prusa Slicer, and printed it on my very dusty Prusa Mini+. It's printed in shiny "Ocean Blue" PETG because I didn't have any black filament handy. The fit is OK, though it's just a little looser than I'd like.
If the weather cooperates I'll try this out tomorrow, and if it works well enough I may get myself some matt black filament and print a more refined version. Maybe add a few internal baffles.
