Ich bastle aktuell in FreeCAD. Ein Video hat mir gezeigt, wie ich ein Haus in dem Tool nachbaue. Soweit, so gut. (Also meistens, ich streite noch mit ein paar Werten.)
Im Thumbnail hat das Haus aber Strukturen und Farben für Wände und Co. Ich finde nicht mal, wonach ich suchen muss. Ich hab also ein Objekt und ich möchte, dass das Objekt aussieht wie z.B. eine Fliesenwand. Jemand ne Idee, wie ich meine Frage sinnvoll formuliere um Informationen suchen zu können?
Danke :)
Ce matin au #FabLabUtoPi Le Creusot , séance FreeCAD spéciale aéromodélisme.
Claude a présenté un atelier Python en développement (https://github.com/CLGH/ader) pour concevoir un avion:définissant taille, profil d’aile, empennage…
#FreeCAD #Maker #OpenSource
Good news for #CAD software users, #FreeCAD (1.0.1) is now in the #OpenBSD -current ports tree. 
A huge effort by Johannes Thyssen Tishman (jtt@) and other porters getting this committed.
jtt@ modified ports/cad/freecad/*: Import cad/freecad
ok jca@ and rsadowski@
FreeCAD is an open-source parametric 3D modeler made primarily to design real-life objects of any size. Parametric modeling allows you to easily modify your design by going back into your model history and changing its parameters.

Just blogged about those Magnet PCB Clamp tools I've been making, There's links to the repo on the blog should you want to make some of your own. They work really well even if I do say so myself! Source is open and open toolchain as designed in #FreeCAD. https://concretedog.blogspot.com/2025/08/magnet-pcb-clamps.html #opensource #3dprinting #tools #electronics Boosts welcome!
Everyone and their dog seem to be selling this 50x50 heat sink extrusion, but there are no 3D models and dimensions around?
Okay let's undistort a web image, draw a sketch in #FreeCAD, mirror the part and.. oh, oh no
For anyone who has no idea what I'm talking about but is interested anyway, almost 3 years ago I starting trying to design from scratch 3D printed model rockets to carry a small video camera and altitude logger while remaining as small and light a possible.
I spent quite a bit of time fiddling around in FreeCAD and OpenRocket and 3D printing prototype parts trying to come up with something that could carry the payload while being both light enough to fly well and tough enough to survive the flight. Eventually this resulted in a series of lights in late 2022, and here are the results: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4I2bufpGQc
Following last weeks #FreeCADFriday where I made and #3Dprinted the spring loaded magnet base work clamps, I've today prototyped a micro probe idea. Again magnet mount, the next iteration will have one more degree of freedom in the arm. The probe is a stainless 0.4mm accupuncture needle insulated with some 0.6mm heatshrink! The board of course is an old #KiCad project. #electronics #freecad
It's #FreeCADFriday! Help us celebrate all things #FreeCAD and show us what projects you are working on! #CAD #CAM #BIM
#makersHour #freecad this is what I made most recently - it's a Stickbreaker, made by request of a mad little three year old I know for their birthday in a few days. The blue is because it has their name emblazoned on the bottom.
@MakersHour@cupoftea.social @makershour@a.gup.pe i managed to get a bit better with #freecad, so, getting there i suppose! #makersHour
One day I'm going to clean up and post the #Barbackv2 CAD files. Personally, I think it's a decently impressive #FreeCAD assembly with #Asm4. But that does is not today. today is a firmware day.
Tutorial: Using the Additive Pipe Tool
The additive pipe tool is an excellent tool that allows a sketch or sketches to be swept along a series of edges to create a solid pipe with the profile of the original sketch. #FreeCAD #CAD #CAM #BIM

My kids have been enjoying a hand-me-down Wii. One of the nunchucks was missing most of its joystick pad so I designed a new one in FreeCAD and printed it in squishy TPU on my Bambu.
#100DaysToOffload Day 6:
I designed this replacement for my cherry pitter. Printed it in TPU, even if it's probably not food safe it can be disposable. The original one lasted about 5 uses, and when it started to break, the cherries were getting stucked

Déjà, quels logiciels pour la modélisation?
Il en existe des payant, mais j’ai décidé de ne même pas les regarder.
Donc, en gratuit :
#Blender évidement.
Mais pour des objets dont on a vraiment besoin de maitriser les dimensions, il n’est pas vraiment adapté ( ou alors je ne sais pas faire. )
Donc, pour de la modélisation plus technique, j’ai vu conseiller #freecad Je n’ai pas encore mis le nez dedans. J’en dirai plus dès que j’y aurai modélisé un premier objet.
Satisfying to be able to make quick geometry changes (internal diameter of a barbed fitting) using VarSets like this in FreeCAD assemblies, and nothing breaks:
A 3d printer and #FreeCAD are so useful!
One of the clamp things on my bike basket snapped. It was really easy to design and print a replacement.
I recently broke my custom filament sensor mount while changing the filament.
I took the opportunity to refine it further, making it more sturdy.
The model is designed for the Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro 3D printer, and allows using both spools of filament. Yes, the original one did not.
