The #F3D talk at #FOSDEM woke me up better than any coffee could; there are great possibilities for @manyfold.

Cam Pedersen just released a small rust library to programatically create CAD models campedersen.com/vcad #vcad

I asked gemini to use #f3d to generate screenshots of the result, and tasked it to create a 3D model of a 'square-ish basket', looking at the vcad README for examples. The first output was not great, with flying handles, etc., so I said "look at the picture, and check what is wrong". It figured out the issues, and generated this.

Next: "build a complete robot for me, pretty please!"

Experimenting with bounties!

We just added bounties on long standing macOS and Windows issues. I have no idea if it will work out but we hope it may be a way to fix these long standing issues!

You can read about our approach to bounties here: f3d.app/CONTRIBUTING.html#boun

If you are interested, do reach out on discord!

F3D is now sponsoring some of the projects we rely on!

⛴️ Exhibit: 5$/month: Because we love that Nokse is sharing F3D with other communities! (github.com/Nokse22)

🖼️ Dear ImGui: 4$/month: Because without it we would not have a nice UI (lnkd.in/ez4KYheh)

⚙️ nlohmanjson: 1$/month: Because json parsing is essential in F3D design (lnkd.in/egq73YpD)

Please do not forget to sponsor the tools you use, this is how open source project thrive! 🙂

Would you consider a hardware project if the 3D file source is an file?

🔫🕺 Who would have guessed that adding support for the original Quake models to F3D would be that fun ?

Anyway, F3D 3.1.0 just released and there are a lot of new things, including QuakeMDL support, Supersampling antialiasing and much, much more!

What a feeling you get when someone take the time to create and post a video about the tool you created!

@mbt3d Amazing, #F3D looks like the STEP thumbnailer I've been looking for, thanks for sharing!👌

@MaryPot @bgrier @domr @3dprinting I’m not sure what are all the limitations of the “Personal” option of #Fusion360 - the one I know is that you cannot have more than 10 editable designs at the same time, which is perfectly fine for me. I just make them read-only after I’m done.

I also export each design as #f3d file to have a local copy and as #3mf file to use in Prusa Slicer.

Hope this helps.
