This week in #FreeCAD development: blog.freecad.org/2026/01/21/w...

Switched from #blender to #FreeCAD for my #cyberdeck build and finally gathered all the hardware parts. #3dprinting it tomorrow! Still not sure how I’ll paint it, though.

If you want to learn how to make your own 3d replacement part using #FreeCad check out my video, where I 3d model and 3d print a handle for my pool skimmer basket. youtu.be/zzwix8qqEwI

#maker #loom #3dprint #repaircafe #local today I redesigned yesterday’s design for a friends loom - they had misplaced the pawl for the tensioning mechanism on one end. Had to relearn #freecad#local#repaircafe#3dprint#loom#makert’s been a while!

I'm working on some mountable supports for my vacuum pump for my assembly table. Also had to print some spacers for the buttons to actually actuate. Printed it all, only to find I needed longer m6 fasteners lol.
