A quick 2 minute play with @freecad@social.freecad.org 26.3 release candidate 2, it’s SO nice to just be able to add text in sketches! #FreeCAD
FreeCAD 26.3 Release Candidate 2
Hot on the heels of the first release candidate last week we are pleased to announce that builds for RC2 are now available.
I’m fascinated by #PiDP11 software, looking forward to buy the proper hardware.
For now I built myself a case, modeled in #FreeCAD around STEP-files of a #RaspberryPi and a 7” HDMI display. The design is inspired by #DEC #VT100 terminals common in the late ‘70s.
The thing hangs on the door of a cabinet in my office, it will be degraded to a simple monitor as soon as I get the #PiDP case. It has a similar size and will hang at the same door.

Here’s the finished, 3D printed product!
This thing is seriously sturdy.
I had previously printed a similar version from makerworld but it wasn’t strong enough to hold my glasses, and if you drive over a speed bump - the sun glasses were dropped to the floor!
You can see how I modeled the cutout for the nose section here:
This was by far the hardest part. I attempted to “pad” the area out multiple times but was hit with the dreaded “wire not closed” error.
In the end I drew an inverse shape and used “pocket” to remove material.
A little late for #FreeCADFriday but here’s what I designed and printed this week:
A magnetic holder, to keep my sunglasses safe in the car.
My car has a (disguised) metal plate hidden beside the steering wheel - so you can add your own magnetic flair.
This nearly broke me, and definitely broke FreeCAD multiple times, but I have made a working iris, animated in the assembly workbench. #FreeCADfriday #3dprinting #FreeCAD

Now that the navigation light fits and works on my Alpha W9 #velomobile, I take this #FreeCADfriday to build a taller (more than twice as high) and somewhat sturdier version for the Strada Velomobile. I do this in #FreeCAD 26.3.0RC1, which works fine so far.
(Though I very much hope, issue #32955 will make it into 26.3 release.)

It’s #FreeCADFriday and in case you didn’t notice we announced the 26.3 release candidate! As ever post what you are working on with #FreeCAD but huge extra kudos if you are testing 26.3 RC1! blog.freecad.org/2026/…
Every year at #Christmas, my father-in-law builds a very large nativity scene with antique figurines in his #church. The figurines have wooden joints, some broken over the years.
He asked if I could 3D-print replacement parts.
Modeling them in #FreeCAD went quickly, printing them took significantly longer.

I nearly lost my mind when they said I can reference external geometry without first bringing it into the sketch.
A bunch of wins coming in @FreeCAD@fosstodon.org 26.3

Design and #3dprinting of last week’s #FreeCADfriday project is done. The wire stranding machine is now working. 🥳

It’s #FreeCADFriday! Our intrepid @concretedog@mastodon.social however is out helping the @FLOSSK@mastodon.cloud crew run #SFK26 an #opensource conference in Kosovo today, so there will be delays in boosting your FreeCADFriday toots… however, with that said, show us what you are working on with #FreeCAD!
This week, yet another guitar bridge.
The base part of the bridge needs to fit perfectly the arched guitar top.

Also me: see screenshot. 😹 (description in ALT text)
Happy #FreeCADfriday everyone!
