Hello everyone!
I'm excited to announce a workbench we've been working on to streamline the design of 3D Printers by
Open Source Ecology (OSE) for
Distributive Enterprise.
GitHub Repository:
https://github.com/gbroques/ose-3d-printer-workbench
Attached GIF Demo:
The below attached
GIF demo show-cases constructing a simplified
D3D Pro 3D printer model.
YouTube Demo Videos:
Also, various demo videos were made and published on YouTube. See the following playlist:

This is only an initial release, and we plan to expand and improve on it in the future.
We will broadcast announcements in this thread.

Maybe Engineering? I tend to think of these workbenches that create things as engineering workbenches. Architecture is for buildings; this is not a building. Assembly is for assembly workbenches, that is, to assembly objects in an arbitrary fashion, not for assembly of particular products.
As for the workbench, I suggest opening also a thread in the Open Discussion subforum where you will provide support for it. That is, this thread should probably be moved to Announcements, and you will only use it to announce new features or things. It won't be really used for discussions. A new thread in Open Discussions then can be used to discuss everything about development, or improvements to the workbench.

Thanks vocx
. I'll look into acquiring a FreeCAD Wiki account to add the workbench under
Engineering.

Is there an easy way to move this post to
Announcements, or should I basically copy-paste this, make a new post in
Announcements, and ignore this post from now on?

I guess the purpose of
Users Showcase is more for show-casing FreeCAD models, rather than FreeCAD workbenches?
I appreciate all the pointers.

Or we can do the civilized thing which is ask a moderator to move the thread.

Yes, users showcase is a "here, I built a nice little donut with FreeCAD, give me upvotes". It's not meant to introduce new developments in code (workbenches).

Do you mind calling the shot on this? Also do you mind merging the PR if you decide to? Currently have an issue with the SlopedPlanes workbench breaking my local FreeCAD-addons clone.

Invite to FreeCAD (and Free CAE) Users Conference 2023
Good Day @gbroques
My name is Varnu Govender, I am the assistant to Dr du Plessis at the University of Pretoria, South Africa.
We are organizing the 1st Annual FreeCAD (and Free CAE) Users Conference, which is set to take place in Early 2023.
I have taken interest in your Workbench, and I would love if you could present your work at the conference.
You are welcome to present your workbench in the following manner:
- Introduction/Overview of your Workbench
- Run-down on how the workbench operates through the user interface and backend.
- A tutorial demonstrating the full functionality of the workbench.
- A showcase of something that has been created/modelled in the workbench.
In addition to this, if you know somebody that might be interested in presenting their work during the conference, please could you refer them to me (@Varnu01.)
I hope to hear from you soon.
Regards
Varnu Govender
