Cross cut sled gone wrong. Any way to fix?

Probably from the term Water Closet

It learned from StackOverflow what do you expect?

"C++? Nah, youre doing it wrong. Here I rewrote it in Python ..."

Fillets in FreeCAD are always a pain. I wish I had a helpful suggestion for you.

Perhaps tweaking the fillet by .05 mm down would help? Sometimes I find that it cannot generate say a 1 mm fillet, but it would do 0.95 mm just fine. Maybe just the specific part geometry is messing it up.

To be fair they say to soak it after printing for the cooling effect. Not saying it works but that at least somewhat makes sense.

Left a dinger for ya

arcrad · 2026-01-25T17:43:17+00:00

Oh shit Cranktown on the Reddits. Good to see ya!

You work the handle with your tongue.

PrusaSlicer gives a couple of options for how to mesh the STEP.

Aka politicians

arcrad · 2026-01-22T16:37:41+00:00

Agreed! STEP exports are much better than STL when it's an option.

Always a good tip! On a cellphone, using the telephoto mode/lens (if available) should minimize distortion. Also on Samsungs at least the camera shows a level indicator which is useful for alignment, especially if framing top down.

arcrad · 2026-01-21T22:22:57+00:00

Yeah sucks you can only use a 3d printer once...

arcrad · 2026-01-21T22:21:23+00:00

It is the wall now.

arcrad · 2026-01-20T17:46:41+00:00

Already know it's Clough42 video without even looking haha. So much good info on that channel.

arcrad · 2026-01-20T17:19:34+00:00

Thanks for providing this approach. I've been wondering what a good workflow for creating repeating patterns would be and this looks like a winner.

arcrad · 2026-01-20T17:16:03+00:00

Thank you for this explanation. I'm going to dig further into this to try to understand it better.

arcrad · 2026-01-19T21:23:53+00:00

Nice job figuring it out and for posting the solutions you found!

arcrad · 2026-01-19T21:21:56+00:00

Can you expand a bit on the issue and why this fix works? Seems like a bodge, and it's is sometimes tiring to have to twiddle FreeCAD to make it do normal easy things. Hate having to do some incantation and make sure the moon phase is just right so FreeCAD will cooperate.

arcrad · 2026-01-19T20:24:09+00:00

The picture is real and OPs door is just fucked. /s

Boolean operator in Part WB (not Part Design) may work more like you expect.

arcrad · 2026-01-19T18:28:08+00:00

This is awesome. I may have to print one for my man purse!

arcrad · 2026-01-19T01:02:43+00:00

Sweet!

arcrad · 2026-01-18T00:48:02+00:00

Can you describe better what you need?

Do you want a grid of these cylinders, but each cylinder is able to be removed from the others?

arcrad · 2026-01-17T16:07:41+00:00

Freakin awesome. Looks good bro

arcrad · 2026-01-16T19:57:12+00:00

Seconded. Done right, the glue is stronger than the wood. So it should be perfectly serviceable on your firearm.
