msx<a href="https://fosstodon.org/@FreeCAD" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@FreeCAD</a> 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: <a href="https://www.printables.com/@msx80_200946/collections/1801383" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.printables.com/@msx80_200946/collections/1801383</a>The tank was all made in <a href="https://livellosegreto.it/tags/FreeCad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeCad</a> with a minor step in <a href="https://livellosegreto.it/tags/Blender" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Blender</a>

HuKI'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 <a href="https://sw-development-is.social/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeCAD</a><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@FreeCAD" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@FreeCAD</a>

Kleiner Radler - resigniert<a href="https://fosstodon.org/@FreeCAD" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@FreeCAD</a> I will continue working on my project as soon as my races are finished. It will be an OpenSource velomobile. My goal is to ride it from Freiburg to Paris in 15 hours.

Ari [APz] SovijärviAs I swapped out the winter tyres for summer ones today, I checked out the hubcaps I made last fall and they all were in perfect shape.I replaced my pinball hauling vehicle last fall and I had gotten used to the Volkswagen T5's minimalistic hub caps. Ford Transit had had those at some point but all that was sold these days was beaten up ones for very high price on eBay.So I recreated the hubcaps in FreeCAD and printed them out of ASA. They're soft enough to snap on without violence, but they also stick on just as well as the Volkswagen version. I stole the wheel bolt attaching design from them.<a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/3dprinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#3dprinting</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/freecad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freecad</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/ford" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ford</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/FordTransit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FordTransit</a>

HuKwaddafaaak-- <a href="https://sw-development-is.social/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeCAD</a> So I'm doing a bearing. Have 2-part cage, with common Bodies, inherited with SubShapeBinder, (which also needs to be made solid with Boolean Fuse ok).HOWEVER, the <a href="https://sw-development-is.social/tags/SubShapeBinder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SubShapeBinder</a> is not freely editable: it needs to be created/inserted at the tip of the Body hierarchy.Result: child Bodies cannot be updated, alas, because the topology breaks 😢 WORKAROUNDCreate dedicated minimal Bodies for SubShapeBinder+Boolean Fuse only stuff. This eases their recreation on change.

HuKWhat if <a href="https://sw-development-is.social/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeCAD</a> had:In Sketch right-clickable "copy expression"?That would reduce click path a lot.<a href="https://sw-development-is.social/@HuK/114251199271259658" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://sw-development-is.social/@HuK/114251199271259658</a><a href="https://sw-development-is.social/tags/FreeCADux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeCADux</a>

HuKI wish <a href="https://sw-development-is.social/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeCAD</a> had: Shorter click paths:– expression editor straight up, not behind =– more complete & consistent mnemonics (OK button not consistently alt-O-able)– PERHAPS some kind of floating clickable "recent expressions" window, enabling pasting expressionsOMG: VarSets should be like code of text: editable, refactorable, viewable from multiple positions – not a cumbersome table*worm can*Should it be like a programming/scripting language?<a href="https://sw-development-is.social/tags/FreeCADux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeCADux</a><a href="https://sw-development-is.social/@HuK/114251142965023927" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://sw-development-is.social/@HuK/114251142965023927</a>

HuKThis is my current workflow I've gravitated to, due to what <a href="https://sw-development-is.social/tags/FreeCADux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeCADux</a> imposes to my <a href="https://sw-development-is.social/tags/cognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cognition</a>:– copy-paste VarSet expressions FROM elements (Sketches, Paddings, Pockets etc.) to other elements – INSTEAD of recalling VarSet variable names FROM MY MEMORY. It's hard to recall them, yet I wrote them myself! No refactoring options.

Ari [APz] SovijärviFirst version of Red's eyelids printed out. Surprisingly close to what I wanted. Need to make the part that covers the eye a tad larger so it won't scape on the part that holds the eye in the frame. Also noted there was a lot of free space between the mask and the frame, so I made them a bit thicker for the next version.<a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/pinrepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pinrepair</a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/freecad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freecad</a>
