The new Assembly workbench by Ondsel that’s been integrated into the new version of #FreeCAD is quite good and easy to use. I’d like a few more features, but it’s coming along nicely. Well done! 👏 #CAD #3Dprinting

If you start working with PETG (or other hygroscopic filament), do yourself a favor and buy an active dryer (a food dehydrator will also work). Desiccant packets only slow water absorption. My PETG prints are much better after baking the filament. #3Dprinting #maker

Finally wrapping my head around how to use the FEM workbench in #FreeCAD. Not that I'm a mechanical engineer or really understand what's happening, but finding ways to reduce stress and displacement can be incredibly helpful for such #CAD designs! #3Dprinting #robotics

I'm putting together a chart comparing #FreeCAD to a few other #CAD offerings. The "features" and "ease of use" are intended to be subjective. Did I misrepresent anything or leave out a package here that should definitely be included? #3Dprinting #mechanicalengineering

Organic shapes and curved surfaces are incredibly difficult to do in #FreeCAD (I think it's an area that could use some dev love), but I'm starting to understand how all the workbenches and tools work together to make such shapes happen. #3Dprinting #CAD

Help me out, coffee-loving friends! I have Eight O'Clock decaf medium roast (fine ground) that tastes great in my French press but comes out too sour in my Moka pot. Other beans work fine in the Moka pot. Any tips to help the flavor? #coffee

Started filming my Introduction to #3Dprinting and #FreeCAD series for DigiKey 🎥 Working with Cassy Grace is always a pleasure! She knows how to line up shots and get into a flow with the recording process. #stem #education #maker

Rest in peace, James Earl Jones. You were an absolute legend--voicing and acting in some of my favorite movies. playbill.com/article/james-…

Here is the enclosure in all its glory! I added a few accessories, like a webcam and LED controller holder. #3Dprinting #maker #engineering Music: Bloomer by EnjoyMusic enjoymusic.ai

It’s been a while since I made a cocktail I’ve never tried before 🍸 This is the White Lady (with egg whites). Highly recommended. If you make it, use this recipe: bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/white-… #cocktail

Several models in ollama now support “tools” (function calling). I test this ability with hardware on my #RaspberryPi 5. The models are generally slow and janky on the Pi, but I’m excited to see this #tech get better! My code is here: gist.github.com/ShawnHymel/16f… #AI #LLM #maker

Here is a sneak peek at the syllabus for my upcoming 10-part Intro to #FreeCAD video series 📺 I'm hoping to take beginners from basic Part Design through complex curved surfaces, assemblies, and FEM. It will focus on making parts for #3DPrinting. #maker #STEM #CAD #education
