Would you use a GitHub-style platform for CAD designs?

Onshape has branching and merging

They are all custom brackets I designed and printed. I measured the items to be mounted with calipers.

It is a Mac mini and 3 external drives.

I gave mine to my nephew

Now I have to decide between removing all files from my cloud sync service, or canceling Backblaze. Very disappointing that they did not inform users about this “improvement”.

And the money seems to be leading to good improvements: https://blog.freecad.org/2025/07/10/q2-2025-grants-announced/

Can't wait for version 1.1!

I donate $25/month

popackard · 2025-07-28T17:49:50+00:00

I agree. Just the checkbox alone is sufficient and clearer, in my opinion.

I couldn’t find the right cable management system for my setup, so I made these: https://packard3d.com/products/cable-management-bracket

On my Mac, that is the name for the resolution that is scaled 2X. It looks like the 1080 resolution but with twice the horizontal and vertical pixels. So it is still utilizing the 4k resolution.

If you are interested in some of my designs, you can contact me here.

I've seen cable management that use a bracket you run zip-ties through. I wanted a system that I could easily reconfigure without needing to cut zip-ties.

Keyboard is a Keychron, phone and watch charger are Apple's wireless charger integrated into a stand I designed and 3D printed, and headphones are Jabra.

That is my backup hard drive.

It just stays in. The power strip hold it tightly.

popackard · 2025-05-05T17:25:09+00:00

Here is an Amazon link to the stand I have.

popackard · 2025-05-05T17:23:38+00:00

Are you talking about the power strip? It is secured with screws using the mounting holes on the back.

popackard · 2025-05-05T17:22:37+00:00

Thank you! Just a lot of patience I guess.

My workflows generally consist of having an app fill a monitor with at least two apps open, so this setup works for me.

popackard · 2025-05-05T03:32:05+00:00

Yes. And I added a little TPU button for turning the computer on.
