Here's the design printed on my Prusa Mini+ using Colorfabb economy PETG (Dark Grey) and 30% infill.

It feels really solid.

Here's is a picture of the mounting bracket with the anemometer.

Hello people, I also made a small side project using FreeCAD and I thing that came out nice so, here it is. Is a hanger for my bike, made from steel and wood. The wood was a scrap piece from the construction of my coffee table. The steel part is cut on a laser cutter.

(I also made a FEM analysis for my overkill 5mm steel plate to hang a ~10kg bike :lol: )

I really like this tbh, it's simple but elegant, I could well see myself implementing something similar in the future.

A simple PV pannel for my IoT sensor.
The base can be fitted to different size of PV panels. Just changes the size in Spreadsheet.
The model is at gitHUB https://github.com/glompos21/FreeCADMod ... in/PV_Base

Do you plan to motorize it or is the hinge a "set up once" thing?

here is the opposite case. a real construction recreated in freecad. (I didn't have freecad back then).

it is a sealless hydrogen low pressure accumulator and compressor control. without seals is important because they can leak and that is very dangerous with hydrogen
