Today I'm experimenting to see if I can avoid learning #freecad and instead just #vibe in #openscad to add handles to a

It's #FreeCADFriday UTC, even if it's still Thursday evening where I am.
I am getting a screened pop-up gazebo/cabana for ham radio purposes (Field Day) and wanted to compare footprints of three different options. One has a 10' x 10' square footprint, and two have hexagonal footprints specified by their longest internal measurement, because bigger numbers sell, but I didn't h…

Working in code is much easier than trying to align and drop things with the #freecad tools. I need a better way cut out the excess though - some sort of plane operation? I think I'll use more #openscad in future.

AI is just wonderful. A couple of prompts, and somethings that would have taken me ages before is done. Like this little macro that sends my model dierctly from #FreeCAD to OrcaSlicer.
Now it's just a click, and straight to slicing and printing.

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

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. 😀
