I'm dipping my toes in #3Dprinting. I need something I couldn't fond on #thingiverse, so it seems I need to learn #cad. I need to choose a non-propietary solution, and I saw the main two are #FreeCAD and #OpenSCAD. Being I a #softwareDeveloper, what may get me up and running in the least amount of time? OpenSCAD seems resemblant of a #programmingLanguage, so it may be simpler for me, but does it have drawbacks or limitation I should be aware of?

Guess what #ball I create next out of an #icosahedron with just #openscad #code?
I accidentally made another basket. Should I list it on Makerworld or Etsy? #openscad #3dprinting

@olm_e @FreeCAD You could use 
#gitAnnex and/or 
#dataLad to version control your designs. I have not tried it with #FreeCAD, but I do it all the time with #solveSpace and #OpenSCAD. Git Annex allows version-controlling arbitrarily-large files and provides a simple 'git annex assist` command to 'do the git stuff' and sync everyone up. Don't know how assemblies work in FreeCAD, but if it is one file that sources other, independent files, then it should work.
spherical helix as single twist coord #openscad #3dprinting
added the single twist cord style, which is what I was aiming for. Saw this at other basket makers, will add to my baskets. #openscad #3dprinting
I finally know how to efficiently create decorations that are bent along a rounded rectangular path. #openscad #creativecoding #3d #3dprinting

Natürlich darf man auch den ganzen Samstag zum Barcamp kommen. Bisher gibt es von den Jugendlichen aus der Teckids-Gemeinschaft u.a. die Vorschläge::
* #HTML und #CSS richtig lernen
* 3D-Design mit #OpenSCAD
* Rechtliche Fragen zur eigenen Website/Server
* Vokabelscanner mit #Python programmieren

trefoil knot now as a polyhedron, done in #openscad for #3dprinting
Ever wonder why you see so many PCBWay sponsorships on YouTube?
The screenshot below came to my _work_ email address.
I don't have much associated with my work that is connected to #3dprinting
The only link I have between this email address is an #OpenSCAD tutorial I did at a conference were I was also presenting on other stuff.
There was a recording and it has... checks notes: 186 views over 1 year.

Back from vacation and now into #spirals and #ropes created with #OpenSCAD for #3dprinting
This time created as polyhedron from layers of regular polygons. I am still experimenting with this concept. It leads to much faster render times then hull(). Surely this can be done using rotate_extrude as well, but let's try to bend these ropes next.

Cool, ich HABE genug Verständnis von Computergrafik und es waren zehn Minuten Nachdenken in der Mittagspause und neun Zeilen in OpenSCAD

My highly technical #OpenSCAD program to make a #3Dprint cassette belt:
// Belt length in mm when it's pulled flat and straight; half the circumference.
half_circumference = 120;
thickness = 1;
$fa = 1;
$fs = 0.5;
belt_diameter = (half_circumference * 2 * 0.95) / PI;
difference() {
cylinder(thickness, d=belt_diameter, center=true);
cylinder(thickness * 2, d=belt_diameter - thickness * 2, center=true);
};
