Re: 3D Printer Lack Enclosure Project

Sorry, I didn’t think to add the FreeCAD version info. I assume its useful for troubleshooting a file on a version that did original generate the CAD file? OS: Ubuntu Core 20 (GNOME-Flashback:GNOME/gnome-flashback-metacity) Word size of OS: 64-bit Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0.19.24267 +14...

3D Printer Lack Enclosure Project

Hi Folks, I thought I’d share one of my more rewarding projects that came out very well thanks to FreeCAD. I do a lot of 3D printing and one issue that comes with it is the rather toxic fumes that come from the heated plastic. So I needed a way of making an enclosure for the printer. The added bonus...

Early 1920's Headphone Driven Loud Speaker Horn 3D Printed Replica

Hi guys, I've been looking at old radio magazines from the early 1920's and kept seeing an ad for a Headphone Driven Loud Speaker Horn. Am-Pli-Tone.png I have some antique Brandes Headphones that totally match to this era so I thought this would be a great opportunity to make a 3D printed replica of...

Re: Replacement parts for 1920's Radio Headphones

Thanks for asking me the question about how well my 1920's headphones work. I really went to town to figure out in great detail how well they were working. Which as expected was not what they use to be. So lots more geeking out, I worked on tweaking them up to what likely they use to perform at. Che...

Replacement parts for 1920's Radio Headphones

Hi FreeCAD folks, I used FreeCAD to design some replacement parts for some old 1920's Radio Headphones. Specifically the Bakelite ear cup's were broken, so restoring the headphones was going to be a challenge. So I designed some replacement replicas and made 3D Printed replacement parts. EarCap Befo...

Re: Mechanical Calculator Keybutton pulling tool

Mostly just lazy. I'd have to mirror and fuse the models to produce a single part. Then put more attention into the screw and clearance holes for the mounting of the pull finger. Then also the part could more likely break at the formed slot joint. With the parts being septate they have a bit more fl...

Mechanical Calculator Keybutton pulling tool

Lately I've been working on old antique / vintage Mechanical Calculators. These fascinating old technology's use a fantastic amounts of gears, levers and springs to do their work. The most notable feature is the huge amount of buttons on the keyboards. To clean and service these machines the removal...
