@rasterinterrupt.oldbytes.space.ap.brid.gyThe drive of my pool robot was so worn down that the propeller kept slipping. So I designed a new one in #FreeCAD and 3D printed it.
The orange drive spins constantly and locks into the propeller via a helical dog clutch, so the propeller only turns while the […]
@freecad.orgIt's #FreeCADFriday! Skip the screenshot if you want, just reply with one thing: what FreeCAD tool or workbench have you used the most this week?
We'll go first: Part Design Defeaturing, it's been a lifesaver on STEP imports lately.
@attackpotato.bsky.social@freecad.orgFor those wondering how they work: a quick demo of suppressing individual pattern instances and overriding spacing for specific ones directly via On-View Parameters.
@freecad.org
@freecad.org103 PRs merged this week. PartDesign exposes new circular, path and point pattern tools with suppression controls. CAM had 29 PRs alone, including Fanuc postprocessor support and a new ramp method.

@rasterinterrupt.oldbytes.space.ap.brid.gyYears ago I built models in #SolidWorks. Since then I've switched to #FreeCAD, but I still wanted to bring over some of my old models. Instead of rebuilding them by hand, I gave #ClaudeCode an #MCP server for each app and let it do the migration.
It worked […]
@colin.catYesterday, I've made a replacement handle for the spout of our rainwater tank which broke off. It has a snug fit and worked first try. It's made from ASA which should withstand the UV exposure with no issue. :3

@tomaspolak.bsky.socialNew items have been added to the #FreeCAD Swag Shop, like this T-shirt. I was a bit surprised that a typical FreeCAD user looks like the young woman in the picture, but that is just a fact.
The shop was setup by the FreeCAD Project Association:
@freecad.orgUse the Facebinder to loft between two parts that have no sketch geometry, like wing sections from an imported airfoil profile. A handy trick for when standard lofting tools don't apply in Part WB.
