Here's my #freecadfriday contribution:
I've continued my work on the DIY twitter box case. The amazing #FreeCAD forum showed me a way to model the attachment points to install the base plate (inside the corners). Additionally, I've separated the base plate from the frame. And I've added 4 brackets to mount the frame with the lid. I'm going to add a guide edge instead of the notch to position the brackets. The nodge results in visible artifacts on the outside of the printed part.

Hey #FreeCAD community!
I'm looking for some advice regarding how to add a 45 degree chamfer to an odly shaped area in a rounded corner.

It's #FreeCADFriday again! 🥳
I've continued my work on the DIY twitter box.
I tried to save some time by buying a 18650 battery holder. Unfortunately, it was nearly impossible to get the battery out again (it has a protection circuit).
That's why I've modeled my own and ordered suitable battery contacts which get inserted into the designated slots at the ends.
Please tell me it's okay to build my own battery holder ... :blobpats:

@nprofile…vael Inspired by a design from Patrick Blom (https://www.printables.com/model/1461731-bathroom-twitter-box/comments/2950298), I'm working on a DIY twitterbox. This is WIP!
The back is going to be #3dprinted (maybe in two parts with the backplate made out of transparent PETG - I'm not sure yet). The front is going to be made out of wood (multiplex birch). I'm planning to try out the new #CNC router in my local #hackerspace / #makerspace for this.

I've dedicated this #FreeCADFriday to my first tool holder for my newly installed euro peg board. I wasn' t satisfied with what was already available. I could already use the current version but I'd like to improve it some more. Of course, I'm going to share the final model.

@nprofile…vael I've tidied up the office and placed the #lego sorting bins / organizers where they belong. One was still missing, therefore I printed one. 10 of these boxes are fitting a storage container in the form of a Lego brick (I think it's #10698). Therefore, after sorting all bricks per color, there're still empty bins left. Since I'm satisfied with the design, I've to publish it as soon as possible 🙂.

@nprofile…vael I've mounted some euro peg boards in my workshop. Since I.wasn't able to reach the mounting holes at the corner (drainpipe) , I've designed a bracket in #FreeCAD and printed it.

I've replaced the battery on my Pebble Time Steel and looking forward to charge it again after I've emptied the battery completely for the first time. It's running since 2025-03-21 = around 10 days and it's still at 4%.
Regarding the drops: I wasn't able to wear it all the time (first I've attached the screen using tape and when glueing it back on, a pin of my wristband failed...)

@nprofile…nj7h On todays #FreeCADFriday I've added a "tilt support" to my rear lighting bracket for the basket of a kids bicycle. The first iteration worked quiet well but it's tilting a bit and the strap wasn't as tight as I wanted it to be (yes, #1stworldproblem ). While I'm writing this, I realize that I still haven't posted a picture of the 3D-printed part of the first iteration :blobpats:
