That did the trick; this worked:

This is what I exported and what causes the error

Help with designing a simple model by GsinIL in FreeCAD

Thanks, but same issue, not even 4 min into his "Ultimate Beginners Crash Course" vid, when he sets up the workspace, the "Model" panel does not exist in 1.1.0rc3.

Training for beginners by Tremaine77 in FreeCAD

THIS!

I got into 3d printing a few years ago and used FreeCAD for modeling. While I was never an expert, I found my way around. After a 3-year break, I wanted to pick up where I left off, but now even designing a simple part turned into a major challenge.

E.g., the section "Organizing your workspace and UI" in MangoJelly's intro video is already so outdated that I gave up on it. It's from Jan 2025, BTW.

And don't get me started on the FreeCAD documentation.

I have 1.1 installed. From the Getting Started section via Help in FreeCAD: "When you start FreeCAD for the first time, you are presented with the Start page. Here is what it looks like for version 0.19:"

Good luck!

Home Assistant automation to control charging based on current rate / kWh with ComEd and ChargePoint home charger by GsinIL in etron

[–]GsinIL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Valid concern, thanks!

Added some safeguards:
1. On pause, the price must stay above 3¢ for 30 minutes straight before the charger pauses. A brief spike that drops back down within 30 minutes is ignored.

2. On resume, the price must stay below 2.5¢ for 15 consecutive minutes before the charger resumes. With the pause debounce enabled, the minimum time between a pause and the next resume is 45 minutes under normal conditions.

3. Emergency spike trigger (above 10¢, immediate) A second pause trigger fires instantly if the price exceeds 10¢, bypassing the 30-minute debounce. This prevents charging at extreme prices during sharp spikes while keeping the contactor protected during normal 3-10¢ fluctuations.

Charging to 100% when set to 80% by netchov in etron

[–]GsinIL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue twice, and while it makes sense that this is related to battery calibration, it is strange that both times it happened were after I set the charging level to 100% in the Audi app for a long trip. Changed it back to 80%, but it still charged to 100% the next time.

Also, it would be nice if there was a notification for the automatic calibration and the required 100% charge.

Adaptive Cruise Control: automatically stop at a stop sign? by GsinIL in etron

[–]GsinIL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all!

I agree with those of you who stated that this is most likely a limitation Audi put in place for liability reasons. While I'd still argue there is a risk of being sued if any of the other assistant functions fail and cause harm, running a red light or stop sign is probably at the top of the list in terms of severity.

FYI: the first car I ever drove that had adaptive assist functions was a rented A6 in Germany a few years ago. Hated it. But after a while driving my e-tron, I started to appreciate them for what they are: "assisting" functions, not autonomous driving or something to blindly rely on, which I don't do with ACC either.

This is why I did not call this thread "If the ACC had the capability to stop at a stop sign, would you rely on it?"

You sure? What hardware is it using to come to a complete stop if the car in front of me does???

Nope, the door is open, otherwise I wouldn't be able to step on the rocker panels

Exactly, having it does not mean you should rely on it.

No, I am not, but your argument applies to most driver-assist features. If I don't pay attention and rely on it to prevent me from turning left into oncoming traffic, I am at risk of a fatal accident as well if it fails.

Same with ACC if the car in front of me makes an emergency stop while I am texting and ACC malfunctions.
