FreeCAD world is going crazy right now ---

Fabricating springs does sound hard. The springs for Simplexes are sought after enough that Wayne Bingham at Velo Classique sells them by mail order. I wonder where he gets them. ---

Lots of springs in lots of things and if you think yours is unique then you might be in for a surprise. As an active member of Tarck I am happy to assist in the management and coordination of the 3d printed shifters. ---

Ey, makes sense. Still really cool, seems like some proper hardware really set it apart. I’m interested in making some printed end-use stuff. The test rig looked neat, but I’m just a designer so I don’t bother with testing! Yea the fusion360 stuff is a drag, I don’t use the FEA but some other features I used are gone now. @drwelby I hadn’t heard of FreeCAD I gotta check that out, thanks! ---

Whoever decided what features to pull from the free version of F360 better get a big fat bonus, because they got my money If anybody wants to run F360 FEA or post a toolpath with rapid feed or any of the shit they changed, get at me and I’ll give you my login ---

But only talk to my lawyer. I’m not professional enough to speak to a customer ---

No one is going to argue with you on that one! ---
