According to this thread: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=38353 It seems like version control is a requested feature. And I would agree, it would be awesome... That thread is talking about one approach to this, namely to save FreeCAD files as directories instead of zipped files...

I released a Workbench created in Python a few days ago. Due to "laziness" I subconsciously managed to do it Python3 only. What do you think about this in this day and age? (May 2019). As Python2 has 7 months to live, is it evil to release something as Python3 only? How much energy should ...

Interesting. Also, more often than not, my projects contain multiple parts that have to be printed separately (can be a one part split into pieces to be printable, several parts that form an assembly, or several variants of the same part). And I'd like to have the same for Cura as well! Right now, ...

Mikael, thanks for sharing this workbench. As for the file selection: It would be perfect, if you can set the derived filename as a proposal in the file selection dialog. If that's not possible I would prefer your solution over allways typing the name again and again. If you want to go even further...

It is here: https://github.com/limikael/freecad-slic3r-tools I created it to have a mo...

Not so much recently for lack of a lab, but hopefully that'll be changing soon.

I'm slowly by slowly building up such a lab in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia. Feel free to come and join!

Indeed it is! I'd say the idea of syncing up with the FarmBot project is good, though most of what I was going to say has already been said by emills2. My 2 cents: "gardening" is really a variety of tasks, some of which can be straightforward with current hardware & software. Some of ...

Thanks! That's a very good link!

Thanks emills2 for sharing your insights regarding steppers vs DC motors. The course of actions to first try with of the shelf components before trying to build my own certainly seems very reasonable. There is a little part inside of me, I guess my "ego", that thinks it would be "cool...

Hi, Here is a rendering of my design for a gardening robot. https://preview.ibb.co/mLBU3e/mavis_with_arm_on_1m_rail.jpg Some info about the project: The brown thing on the tip of the arm is the Universal Tool Mount from FarmBot . The goal is to make the robot compatible with FarmBot on the tool leve...
