Anyone aware of a target date for when FreeCAD 1.0 and/or Ondsel 2024.3 will be released?

::: spoiler Background:

I'm coming from using onshape, looking for a local opensource alt. After researching freecad (and forks) it seems if I was to start learning now, I'm in for a significant shift in workflow when 1.0 releases.

In its current state I'd lean towards ondsel.

Kind of putting off the switch till one or both implement the topo naming fix, and the other major ui changes for mainline, so I don't need to learn two different workflows.

But I'm getting antsy and want to get learning soon.

Atleast until after election time IMO.

As is pointed out on every @return2ozma post, there's other subs for that if you want to talk politics. Its clear the community is not enjoying the posts, they are heavily downvoted and spawn angry discourse every single time. Downvoting alone doesn't effectively filter the posts because of the small amount of content overall. Even heavily controversial posts are on the front page for weeks.

This is supposed to be a place to look at funny tweets not get infuriated at the US political system every time I open my feed.

Since there's no poll system implemented as far as I can tell...

1 Upvote = 1 vote to add rule against political posts

1 Downvote = 1 vote to keep the rules as they are

Hello folks,

Does anyone here have experience smithing in a (rural) residential zone WRT noise levels?

I'm talking the 2-5 acre lot size "country residential" type area, not shoulder to shoulder subdivision.

Do you find you're generally able to smith indoors/outdoors during the daytime or did you need to do any special modifications for noise reduction to keep good relations with the neighbours? Soundproofing required?

I was originally planning on having a (covered) outdoor area for a forge. But we were looking at 20+ acres originally. An interesting lot has come up but its smaller (4 acres) and closer to neighbours so I'm trying to figure out if we'd need to change our blacksmithing plans. If outdoor isn't possible on these lot sizes without complaints then I'd need to pull permits for a structure which would be a bear to get approved for noise reasons I'd reckon

Sorry if this reads like an ad; the link is a non-referral one. (I am broke though if anyone wants me to DM my referral link (10%) lol) I heard about it here and wanted to share for others that were interested by that original post but waiting for a sale.

Hello everyone I just figured I would share a PSA since filen.io's black friday sale seems to be live now. Filen is another good opensource (all their client apps) alternative to google drive, dropbox, icloud, MEGA, etc.

I've been checking this company out for the past week after I saw someone asking here if it was trustworthy. It seems legit; fairly young company which explains why they still offer lifetime plans as they are growing.

Its only like 35 Euro for a 200GB lifetime client-side encrypted cloud storage with no bandwith limits. I despise subscriptions so hard to argue with that for me.

I plan on using this for my offsite backups mainly.

EDIT: For christ sakes folks, Lifetime obviously means the lifetime of the company as is the case for ANY "LIFETIME" PRODUCT. That's been the legal meaning of the term when it comes to warranties and such for decades. Should I rename it "One Time Payment" so you guys can stop commenting that a company can go under? Newsflash if you pay monthly for dropbox and that company fails, same thing happens, except you'll have paid hundreds or thousands over the years (depending how long we're talking) for 200GB storage instead of a one time payment of 35 Euro. It will take ~13 months to break even with GDrive's 200GB plan so as long as filen lasts more than 13 months you still come out ahead. They have also stated in their blog that lifetime plans will increase in price down the road as they are currently being partially funded by their monthly plans. I would expect they will likely increase in price to similar to what pcloud charges for lifetime plans? IDK don't quote me.

Hi everyone, I figured I have struggled with this enough over the past day and its time to consult the community. I've been running this same setup for about a month now with the only major change in that time being implementing the input shaping. Recently (last week) I have been unable to complete any prints because every time, I get the error: Move exceeds maximum extrusion ((in the case) 10.681mm^2 vs 0.640 mm^2).

My research says that it is likely due to a mix up between relative and absolute extrusion mode, however I did not change any of those settings in the past month prior to the start of this issue.

Troubleshooting conducted so far: 1) uncheck relative extrusion distances in printer settings>general RESULT -> same error. 2) re-enable relative extrusion in the slicer and explicitly add an M83 command to START_PRINT macro RESULT -> same error. 3) disable the check altogether and observe the print by adding MAX_EXTRUDE_CROSS_SECTION of 50 into printer.cfg RESULT -> no error, but it is massively overextruding blobs in that spot as expected given the error. Had to cancel print anyways it was so bad.

Edit: T.S. continued: 4) setting pressure advance to 0. RESULT -> same error.

Here is my START_PRINT macro before I started messing with it troubleshooting.

Pressure advance is 0.0425.

I'm not sure if there is more information I would need to share that may help find the cause like perhaps export the profile from the slicer as well?

I'm on PrusaSlicer 2.6.1 appimage on pop_OS using the Ellis 3d Sovol SV06 SuperSlicer profile adapted to PrusaSlicer with some tweaks as I go.

Printer is an SV06 running Klipper on a Raspberry Pi 4 with MainsailOS.

Hey so I’m just getting my quest 2 setup again after sitting for over a year. Needless to say, facebook went and broke everything I had setup in that time so it took awhile to get sidequest running and linked again. Now that it is; what are your all-time favourite free games on sidequest?
