@FreeCAD This #FreeCADFriday I am working on a much improved version of my 3d-printable DIN rail cable comb for wire management.

The model is very parametric so it is easy to generate different variants of the model.

I am very glad about the new function for suppressing PartDesign features - otherwise working on this would be unbearable!

@FreeCAD This week, I released the first beta version of my parametric 3D-printed morse code key. It is a set consisting of a key plus various kinds of mounting or holding arrangements. Screwed down to a desk or block, strapped to your leg, or held in your other hand.

Almost everything about it is parameterized with VarSets for ease of customization, and I wrote a macro to export STEP and STL variants with different built-in 3d-printed springs from light to heavy tension, different lengths of sliding covers, different heights above your leg for the leg mount, and more.

Designed in local builds of FreeCAD 1.1 dev running on Fedora 41. Licensed liberally CC-SA to let others modify and share their modifications.

I'm not fully happy with this one yet, but it works and I'm using it. I've been sitting on it for a while now and I need to just publish it because I'm not sure when I'm going to get to the V1.5 improvements I want to do.

Here's my take on a simple fume extractor that uses a couple of easily obtainable and off the shelf parts.

If you're sucking solder fumes and have a printer and about $15 for materials. Here you go: https://www.printables.com/model/1211096-solder-fume-extractor
