@kde is at @linuxtage Come talk to us!

Life is hard but kitty so soft!
For those following along, Young Grasshopper's first attempt at a wearable prototype. All their own work. Damn good try.
@solderandchaos totally happy to tweak a close design or print some etc.
@solderandchaos looking at printables theres a stack of tampon dispenser prints. Likewise for pads. Might be worth a look there and see if you find something that looks viable?

Damjan just merged one of my most awaited features in #KiCad

There is now a UI to make simple 3D bodies for parts that don't have a 3D-Model yet.
It can work on the Body outline or the courtyard, supports multiple materials/rendering styles and automatically add THT pins.

This will not show up in KiCad10 because it changes the file format. In about a year with KiCad11 it will be available in a stable release.

PSA that KiCad nightlies are now available as AppImages (https://downloads.kicad.org/kicad/linux/explore/nightlies). Much more convenient than building from git yourself!
