Huh, making a custom servo horn wasn't all that hard! Just counted the teeth (21) from a photo, estimated the inner/outer diameter ratio (about 0.95), drew some curves by vibes, made one test fixture with OD values from 4.8mm to 5.2mm in steps of 0.05mm, and 5.0mm worked great. #onshape #cad

Ok, so I've realized belatedly that #onshape #cad does in fact support functional abstractions of parts over dimensions, which is neat.

You just gotta make a part, go into the "configurations" panel, "create a configuration variable", use that variable in your part, then in another part studio you can do a Derived feature referring to the first part, and then you get to specify a value for the "configuration variable", i.e. pass argument to the function.

Moin #PhysikEdu,

ich habe endlich mein Isotopentafel-Puzzle fertig modelliert und gedruckt. Damit kann man die Isotope zusammenpuzzelnd und anschließend Zerfallsreihen ermitteln, wobei ein „Zerfallsrahmen“ auch nur auf die Isotope passt, die diesen Zerfall „können“.

A thing that is not necessarily unambiguously positive, but which on balance I like about #onshape is that it forces you to make files public for free accounts... so kind of like the early web, I can learn a lot by paying attention to how other people solve problems.

Continued thread

this is because I think judging from forum posts I can safely conclude that #onshape 's notion of tangency constraints don't support intermittent contact, but in the mechanism I'm trying to think about, there's a cam follower with two faces such that the cam is always in contact with one face or the other, but not any single one for the entire time.

So, so close to being done... I've revised the bottom of the keyboard tray a couple times again. I realized the Z axis of my K1C is 250mm not 220mm, so I'm taking advantage of that extra space for the width of the tray.

I'm gonna step away from it for a bit, but I think I just want to fill in those back corners with more tray for better stability when in a lap... It just won't look as cool :S

#FreeCAD 1.0 is just amazing. Even as a beginner, I was able to pull off a parametric design for my new split keyboard. I'm at the point, where I like it more than #OnShape

Some useful tips:

- Download OpenTheme, imho it looks much nicer
- Apply the OpenTheme suggested settings
- Add DynamicData and Lattice2 and get familiar with it

I've started to take a serious crack at learning 3D modling so I can actually make use of my 3D printer.

This is my first ever, ground up, 3D designed and printed part. Its an adapter to allow a Wyze cam mount to a standard 1/4-20 tripod mount.

I designed the part in Onshape. Got some feedback from some friends, and nailed it on the second version.

In addition to the 3D printed part, I used a Wyze magnet plate (comes with most cameras), and a thermal insert for the 1/4-20 threads.

The solar #eclipse is coming up. Hope it’s clear enough to use the telescope, but I didn’t have a sun filter, and couldn’t get one for this older-model telescope in time (it seems). I did, however, find 0.001% transmission film designed for this. Needed a way to mount it.

My often-neglected 3D printer (and #onshape) to the rescue:
