For what feels like months, I’ve been wanting to make this accessory for the crevice tool of my vacuum cleaner. Whenever I use it on a rug or furniture, I hate when it gets sucked down to the surface and stops suction. So, fire up #FreeCAD and a 42 minute #3dPrint later, I have what I need.
It’s hilarious how the model on my 32” monitor dwarfs the real part.
Ohi, @FreeCAD! 
I have prepared a VESA mount for the upcoming @frameworkcomputer 12 convertible notebook computer. Still waiting for the exact measurements, though.
Two halves will probably be printed from medium or hard TPU to provide a mixture of stability and flexibility. A metal bracket added for extra security.
Anyone has a spool of white Overture TPU High Speed filament? Trying to assert the actual color, their website says #ffffff but the photo seems darker than their white PLA…

starting with using #FreeCAD I designed a mechanical game inspired by classic spinning top toys. Give it a #3Dprint and have fun!

The full-sized 3.5"x5.5" #dot #stencil (and the mini-stencil) are up for people to download and #3Dprint from #Thingiverse
New project: The #AntikytheraMechanism, fully #3DPrintable, as an #OpenData model of the ancient Greek astronomical calculating machine. #WorkInProgress, more to come.
In this video I demonstrate how to create a threaded bolt and the matching core starting from the previous video. A custom offset allows you to adapt for your printer's precision.

Let me show you how to custom-fit threads in @FreeCAD!
Forget the methods described in the FreeCAD Wiki unless you need a very specific non-standard profile. Custom diameters are much easier than you might think!
I have recorded a little screencast to illustrate how easy it is using Part Design > Hole and custom offsets. Basically, choose your thread profile, e.g., M16, and calculate a custom clearance.

@FreeCAD in the life of every Padawan there comes the time when they have to design their first light saber. My time is now.
