There are two workbenches in the addon manager that integrate either CuraEngine or Slicer. There is a "Path" workbench which can be used to generate G-Code for subtractive manufacturing, for example CNC milling. I think you need to fill us in on what exactly you want to achieve. Why do you...

You can use them in lots of places, with the one limitation (I think) to do it in the main thread of the application. If you don't know what I mean about the threading stuff, you probably don't need to care anyway. The easiest way for me is to use Jupyter notebook. I have installed a kernel that sta...

Are you looking for this?

I was toying around with properties and features, and came upon PropertyLink. When I add a property with that type, the name is important, apparently. If the name is "Placement" it becomes a placement property with corresponding GUI, otherwise it allows you to select another object. Is the...

I would also recommend setting the deviation much lower by default. For 3D printing (and probably lots of other applications), a deviation of 0.1 or 0.5 would be preferable. A lot of new users seem to work with higher deviations, with horrible results, until they get frustrated and google how to cha...

I wasn't aware of this and will take a look!

But now look at this animation that I made in blender with the stl produced in FreeCAD. Greetings Quick Tip: You can increase the resolution of the STL file by changing the "Deviation" property of the model in the View Tab of the property editor (usually that's the panel on the bottom lef...

I tend to put these thing into Jupyter Notebook Cells, and just run the export commands from there. Also works with multiple models or multiple variants of the same model with different parameters. I'm working on a different solution, based on FeaturePython objects in the tree. An STL export would t...

The wiki has several examples on how to use the Part module to get you started.

Thank you, I'm sure this will be useful!
