@bikolinux wow! This sounds amazing, definitely something we'd love to see on the blog? Cc @concretedog
Ajinkya Dahaleajinkyapdahale@mstdn.socialApr 4, 2025, 5:13 PM@FreeCAD @bikolinux @concretedog I'd be more interested in trying out that velomobile when ready😁.
papirispapiris@hachyderm.ioApr 4, 2025, 3:51 PM@bikolinux @FreeCAD I've wanted a velomobile for ages, but all the ones I've found for sale are financially unviable for me.
I look forward with great interest to your project!
Apr 4, 2025, 12:19 PMI'm working on my roller-bearing. Tweaking physical parameters based on first 3D prints.
I wish I could have on-screen visibility and scrollability of VarSet, when I'm working on the 3D view, Sketches, solids etc.
I keep forgetting my variable logic in VarSets. Cognitive load is substantial.
Then I resort to copy pasting expression values between constraints.
This is my first major project (2nd part). Still learning best strategies, while also hoping for better UX to help #FreeCAD
Apr 4, 2025, 12:38 PMLast night, I did another beta release of my 3D-printed Morse code keys, this time with identifiers embossed into the bottom indicating the weight of the integral springs, and some modifications to the parameters I'm using for them to make a more useful range of weights. I also added a new part thanks to feedback from alpha testing. Tomorrow I'm going to show off the printed and assembled items to lots of ham radio operators, I hope.
🇳🇱 🇪🇺Jeroen 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦jeroen94704Apr 4, 2025, 12:38 PM@FreeCAD I'll start work on a quad peristaltic pump with built-in custom controller for automatic hydroponic nutrient dosing. No WiP to show yet, but it'll be based off of this (from https://www.printables.com/model/910253-peristaltic-pump-_-nema-17-_-608-bearings):

@jeroen94704 that's a great project. Look forward to seeing your design progress.

Xasin, Neira & MeshxaseireshApr 4, 2025, 1:10 PM@FreeCAD about to try and design a fan ducting for the 120mm blower fan on my Voron upgrade process :D

@xaseiresh excellent, look forward to seeing the results!

@FreeCAD Had one misshap where the actual outlet duct was too long for my printer and bumped into part of the bed Z...
Now this is the mostly-complete version!
I will need to re-print the duct, but this is very promising, and the airflow was VERY strong already :DI made the air duct part itself removable and replaceable so that you can quick-swap ducts to different sizes, in case you're only printing a small model and want concentrated airflow :>
- Xasin, Neira & MeshxaseireshApr 7, 2025, 8:12 PM
@FreeCAD this blows! (Literal)
The second version is an absolute success. The airflow is great and very uniform across the whole blade, and - that aside, the print quality on this voron after a bit of tuning?
Heavenly~#FreeCAD also worked well for the design of the duct with a Make Solid and a linear pattern for the guides. I'm really happy to add this to our machine :D
Apr 4, 2025, 1:23 PM@FreeCAD I made a small buildable toy tank, to be printed in TPU. It's compatible with some other models i made in the past, all of which are available here: https://www.printables.com/@msx80_200946/collections/1801383
The tank was all made in #FreeCad with a minor step in #Blender

I made a simple two-part reed switch holder to smartify my gas meter 🙂
