Micah Ilbery :sloth_coffee:I'm using my international radio on my Home Assistant Yellow for Thread so I added a Sonoff ZigBee dongle. I really hate large USB dongles hanging out the back of things, so I took the opportunity to finally learn FreeCAD and design a new top shell that could house that dongle internally. A few painful hours of trial and error, one U-Shaped USB extension, and one short antenna extension later and it's looking much cleaner! It is a shame I don't have a resin printer or know how to use one, because it would have been nice to keep the translucent plastic aesthetic. (an atomic purple shell would be so rad!) But I'm really happy with it overall. <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/zigbee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Zigbee</a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/thread" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Thread</a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/freecad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeCAD</a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/3dprinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#3DPrinting</a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/sonoff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sonoff</a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/atomicpurple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AtomicPurple</a>

rahixMy new test rack for <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/electrical" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#electrical</a> stuff. The <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/wiring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wiring</a> management combs behind the DIN rails and the strain relief plates at the bottom are 3d-printed. All designed in <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeCAD</a> and I will of course release the design files soon :)

concretedogGetting a bit further with my exploration of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) this evening. Using the mighty <a href="https://fosstodon.org/@FreeCAD" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@FreeCAD</a> I've modelled this "Ballute" style parachute and simulated it descending at 6m/s in air.

jornyThinking of getting a refurbished Dell or Lenovo laptop to run linux on. Mostly to organise and process photos, but also some light CAD. I'll probably look for a laptop with 32gb ram.The question is how much I should consider processor generation? Should I avoid laptops that are older than 11th gen intel processors? Gen 9 and 10 are considerably cheaper, but I would like the computer to last a couple of years.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/techsupport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#techsupport</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/buyingadvice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#buyingadvice</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linuxlaptop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linuxlaptop</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/freecad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freecad</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/laptop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#laptop</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/askfedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#askfedi</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hardware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hardware</a>

Misterxp -Martin<a href="https://fosstodon.org/@yorik" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@yorik</a> OK thanks for the tip! I am still learning <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Freecad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Freecad</a> and Blender) for a hobby. Hence apreciate any advice! I am surely not an architect nor engineer. Most of what I learn or see is on youtube. It takes some filtering between good and bad though. 🙂

Misterxp -MartinFor thr roof in my <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Freecad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Freecad</a> project, I saw others designed the tile and then made an array directly in the main drawing. Hoever the computer can become very slow and struggle. I had already made the small details( like shutters) in another file , exported as an object and then imported in the main drawing as an object. Hence I decided to try thr same with the roof & it worked well too with less impact on performance. The people in the model are scans of my wife and daughter using xbox game bar

xroI made a new thing...in <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeCAD</a>The world surely was missing a <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/3dprint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#3dprint</a> able <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Insta360" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Insta360</a> X4 battery travel case. 😅 So I made one.<a href="https://www.printables.com/model/1260884-insta360-x4-single-battery-case" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.printables.com/model/1260884-insta360-x4-single-battery-case</a>It even mimics the slot of the actual camera, if you add the optional spring.

Remy RoseA patron asked our makerspace to design and CNC mill a replica of the Gemeente-Energiebedrijf sign found all over Amsterdam. They brought us a screenshot of a stock photo and some 6mm thick aluminum to cut it out from. Here's a first rough draft, CAD/CAM in <a href="https://pxlmo.com/discover/tags/FreeCAD?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeCAD</a> and milled in a <a href="https://pxlmo.com/discover/tags/Snapmaker?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Snapmaker</a> Artisan. I'm a novice at this stuff, you can probably tell from the results lol, but the next one will (hopefully) be better! <a href="https://pxlmo.com/discover/tags/CAD?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CAD</a> <a href="https://pxlmo.com/discover/tags/cncmilling?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cncmilling</a> <a href="https://pxlmo.com/discover/tags/library?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#library</a> <a href="https://pxlmo.com/discover/tags/makerspace?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#makerspace</a>

FinnIt's still not finished but today I made some progress!I am designing a case for the Xiao ESP32S3 Wio-SX1262 Meshtastic node!The display does not fit perfectly yet, I need to do the cutout in the lid for the display and make a button.
