Are there any @FreeCAD gurus around here ?
I'm looking for advice/help on how to apply a subtractive pipe to create a groove in a (weirdly) curved surface.
The surface is green in the pictures below.

This is a support for an electronic device and I'm trying to "hide" the power cable by "clipping it" in one of the 3 legs.

Happy to share a FCStd file if needed.

@mfraz74 @FreeCAD
I never tried this workbench, at least as of now, maybe it's time to discover it 😁
Thanks for the suggestion 👍🏼

@chrishuck @mfraz74 @FreeCAD wow nice, that totally looks like what I'm trying to achieve!
I'll definitely have to try out this workbench.
Thanks for the time you put in this and also putting me on track with the solution.
I'll get my hands on the Curves WB as soon as I'm back home 👍🏼

@chrishuck @mfraz74 @FreeCAD almost done

@chrishuck @mfraz74 @FreeCAD In case that can be of any use, while this is printing I continued to explore possible solutions with the Subtractive Pipe operation of PartDesign (I'm a bit stubborn), and found out an alternative solution that use a setting that I never fully tested out : Orientation Mode = Auxiliary.

Now I have 2 choices for the next time I have to model this king of feature, nice!

@chrishuck haa it seems that my screenshot didn't get attached to my last message. Here it is again:

@chrishuck I'll have to fiddle a bit with the thickness constraints and printing settings but Il looks pretty good for a first try 😁

@chrishuck test fit, Looks like I have a little margin to adjust and it'll be good

Today I made my first money by 3D-printing something for someone who was willing to pay 🎉

@pierstoval Nice ! congrats 🎉

I'm still pondering getting started with 3D-printing myself, for personal use.
But I really can't choose which 3D-printer to start with.
Any advice on a model/brand in particular ?

Petit retour sur l'imprimante à rubans que j'ai achetée (https://sebsauvage.net/wiki/doku.php?id=brother-pt-p300bt).

  • Toujours très fiable.
  • les étiquettes collent très bien, résistent parfaitement à l'eau ou d'autres produits et se décollent sans laisser de traces 👍
  • j'ai trouvé sur AliExpress des cartouches compatibles à 3€ (au lieu de 10€ pour les officielles) : Zéro problème avec. (il n'y a pas de puce/DRM sur les cartouches ou l'appareil)

@sebsauvage Hmm, pour le coup ça me fait regretter l'achat de la Dymo Letratag basique (modèle 100-quelque chose) il y a quelques années pour l'étiquetage des affaires d'école de mini-moi #1.
Je garde la référence sous le coude au cas où la Dymo décide de rendre l'âme un jour 👍🏽
