finally designed something i've always wanted to print
#FreeCAD #3DPrinting

What would it take for a #FreeEnterprise? Whether a company, nonprofit, school, or even an activist group, people in organizations have needs which are similar yet different from ordinary #FreeSoftware use cases, typically oriented around solo developers.

My name is Kurt Kremitzki, #FreeCAD and #Debian and I'm starting #KWKLabs, a free software enterprise operating out of #InnovateSpringfield, in the heart of the capital of #Illinois.

My first task? Migrate off Google Workspace!

Still waiting for missing parts, I could build the first prototype of my vertical planter bed. Heavily inspired by the commercial Herbios variant from .
Instead of using wooden planks as the base structure, I opted for a IMHO more stable scaffold made of Al profiles. I designed sheet metal angles in #freecad that attach to movable nuts inside the profile slot. The scaffold will be attached to the railing of the balcony, so that strong winds won't be an issue. #making #urbangardening

I've created a trash bag holder I called iTrash. It is made for Euroboxes for camper vans, but also works in the household.

Recommendation for a #FreeCAD model for a four-step wooden 72cm high staircase?

Fixing everyday items with #FreeCAD and #3dPrinting. Today: A replacement handle for a one cup Bialetti.

Another hardcore Friday night.. learning the mesh refinement aspects of the CfdOF workbench in @FreeCAD basically enables more accurate analysis where you need it. #FreeCAD #FreeCADFriday #CFD

It's #FreeCADFriday, as ever, show us what you've been working on, but as an additional side quest, what is a tutorial/guide or other inspiring FreeCAD content you've seen this week? #FreeCAD #CAD #CAM #BIM #CFD #Opensource

Just pre-ordered an #Elegoo centauri carbon, because I apparently need yet another hobby! Now to learn #freeCAD and #openSCAD while I wait for the estimated end of July delivery date. #3dprinting #3dprinter

Its barely even still wednesday, but here's a WIP Wednesday post...

I've started working on a retro-ish desk clock / home assistant speaker.

Still early days, but hopefully the design will flesh out and end up useful and printable.

Once I get a bit further, I plan to print this out as a clock only at first to make sure I like looking at the design, then figure out how to squeeze the electronics in.

So, jetzt reicht es. Habe die Freigabe zu #OperationChickenJail erhalten. #Freecad stürzt leider wiederholt ab und ist stark gewöhnungsbedürftig. Werde für die Konstruktion der Verbinder jetzt doch wie gewohnt #Fusion360 nutzen.

#FreeCAD is an incredibly powerful, #opensource, 3D modeling and design application available on #Linux, #Windows, and #MacOS. https://youtu.be/-Woz1q4iIKY

By random collision of laundry and washing up cycles I am momentarily very on brand #FreeCAD @FreeCAD #geekchic

Managed to extricate some design files that I need from their proprietary autodesk fusion360 prison (which you can run under linux, but it's hellish) into lovely opensource #FreeCAD - but somewhere in the conversion a number of meshes have become non-manifold (like the light blue quad intersecting the shaft in this image) and it's going to be a pain to repair - but probably less unpleasant than trying to make fusion360 work for me.

Points to anyone that can identify the mechanism

Since my brother didn't like the wood look of the plastic, I use it for non artistic purposes

The next release of #FreeCAD Parametric Web Viewer is shaping up to look great, it's awesome having some help on the frontend. But things are still going slower than I'd like, in part because we're both juggling multiple projects and jobs. If you want to see this in the world or find it useful, please consider kicking in for its development. As of now, 100% of donations will go to paying for the frontend development work.
