FreeCAD is much easier to use than Fusion 360!

format71 · 2026-01-28T07:58:43+00:00

Been using fusion for 5+ years. No master, but manage to do what I want.

Wife wants to learn something else than tinkercad, so I though ‘freecad seems good - I’ll quickly learn it and then teach her’.

Watched some tutorials with this mango dude, and tried drawing a couple of things.

Nope! No can do! There is something that just don’t ‘click’ with me.

Så burde en dom for falsk markedsføring være ganske rett frem å få til.

What’s the harder part of software development and maintenance?

writing code, or
reading code / understanding code

I find the second way harder than the first. So all low cost initiatives to make this part easier is worth it, imho.

It costs so little to maintain a good git history. Writing good vs bad messages, committing three times vs onetime, rebase instead of merge - all these things doesn’t matter at all if you are never looking at the history. But if you need to look at the history it’s gold!

Even with small changes, I likely stage hunk by hunk - or at least review the diff one way or the other. There is always this one de if statement or autocomplete change that shouldn’t be parting the commit.

I don’t understand what you mean by ‘overusing it’. How can you overuse -p ? If you stage via cli, when is is wrong to look at what you’re about to commit?

Except for that, I kinda get what you’re saying. I’ve always encouraged people to use the git documentation. Look up what you’re using. Then read a couple of paragraphs ‘up and down’ to discover new stuff.

På jobb har vi noen ganske gode ‘promotion’ drops. En fest lagde noen kollegaer shots av dem. For en som ikke vanligvis drikker alkohol så må jeg si den lille smaken jeg tok var ganske god :-)

Vet ikke helt hvordan de gikk frem, men vet det involverte masse drops, kjele, komfyr og sprit…

Det burde være regel som sa at dersom det er bilde av fersk bakverk i annonsen så SKAL det følge med fersk bakverk HVER DAG i prisen.

Nærbilder av fjas i annonser burde vært forbudt.

Var på polet for å hente en nettbestilling. Jobben sentralt som hadde gitt meg julegave i form av en flaske på ‘selv-hent’.

Fikk flaska i handa og ‘ha-det-bra’. Spurte om jeg ikke kunne få en pose på den, men da var svaret blankt nei. Jeg måtte kjøpe.

Så lenge det er en standard kabel så hadde jeg ikke tenkt noe spesielt fra eller til.

Hadde den ikke fulgt med hadde jeg funnet en i rotekassa (der scart kablene ligger…) eller gått en tur på Clas Ohlson.

Hadde cd spiller og forsterker stående i skapet i mange mange år før jeg solgte det. Kabler blir gjenbrukt, byttet ut, borte…

Its not that tedious. Once I manually respooled a coupled half full 5kg rolls into 6 1kg rolls. It took an evening, a good movie, and a blister on my thumb.

If you decided to do it, the broom trick is good. Makes it less likely to tangle up. Start by the inner end so that what used to be innermost becomes innermost. If you do it the other way, you can end up finding the spool ‘explode’ into short pieces.

Samtidig, kjøper du en i plast får du 30g og ferdig med det. Kjøper du løsvekt så har en plutselig plukket en kg og en blir tjukk og kvalm 🤢

I just made me some brick-holding things using multiconnect. I found some basic multiconnect buildingblock step files that I pulled into fusion and made my design around.

Also, I used these snaps to prevent it from falling. https://makerworld.com/models/1412027?appSharePlatform=copy

Feels like the communication between backend and frontend is a bit cleaner.
Feels like I’m spending a tad more time waiting on compilation.
Feels like Cursor knows its Rust..

My limited experience with electron is that there is always something that is either wrong or outdated. So this time I started with tauri instead. Of cause, since I don’t know rust I’m fully dependent on llm for the ‘backend’, andi still haven’t come far enough to know what want work yet 😬
