I didn’t expect to be printing myself office tidying parts. I’ve moved my Kossel Mini printer to the far end of my desk and now the PSU bricks don’t have anywhere convenient to sit. I’m going to print up two of these for them to rest in under the desk, largest one to the right. It should keep them tidy and allow plenty air flow so they don’t overheat. Loving FreeCAD for this sort of thing. They’re not that heavy, especially the low current one that will sit to the left. I’ll soon see if the thicknesses aren’t up to it. Any thoughts on the design?
it’s amazing the Ideas than can be spawned when a need arises. and when you have the machine to make it come true.
awesome! FreeCad really is the best thing since solid works! just wish they would add support for imperial measurements! to be totally honest, if they did they could really take american manufacturing by storm, part design in it is as robust as when SolidWorks took the lead in the industry. but too many american manufacturing engineers working in machine shops are too programmed with hatred for metric measurements.
@Robert_acroduster_Br Maybe North Americans (and to be more precise, the bit between Mexico and Canada) should embrace Metric, and then US engineering could be taken seriously by the rest of the world.
@Robert_acroduster_Br there’s a forum post from December last year “Juergen is working on “units” right now.” so hopefully it will be in 1.5. From the post it sounds like a lot will be there now if you compile your own from sources.
I think I hit a bug. I resized the sketch for the pad very slightly, the pockets still showed but in the export to STL the pockets vanished so I’ve got no screw holes.
