It may be that with better exposure lots of hobbies can increase interest without shows. For those "exhibiting" at shows... it can be a lot of work, loading up, showing up, setting up and taking down, loading up, and going back to shop and unloading to restore normal. For visitors it can be...

Almost around the corner from my oldest son in Denver. Every time we visit there seems to be a "project" I get to help with. <G> My shop here has a few toys including a homebrew CNC... but only large enough for models... Gordon (also retired but IT)

I can giggle... In my "past" I've had the experience of working with Autodesk, Solidworks, Inventor, Sketchup, Fusion360. Some were good experiences... some not so bad. With the commercial stuff I could dabble after hours... (granted wife and young family were not excited.) I retired... some...

I used Fusion, I even taught it in a Makerspace class. I'd used Autodesk Inventor. I found Fusion lacked some of the features I (personally) wanted. The class I taught got smaller as time went on... they "learned" it required "learning." (I was adament that I would help them but not do the work...

RE: Recent I am now trying to take "Copious" asMagojelly explain Assemby4 (threevbyears ago) At this point unknowns include how well the notes translate into the dev version of Assembly. Maybe this weekend. In his video he recommends unique naming of "Bodies parts etc. Luckily <G> I have two...

In recent "dark ages" I taught it at a school (as a mentor) until licensing etc. got in the way. At that time I think Fusion360 users were"unpaid" bug finders... Was not impressed back then. I had access to Inventor... at thre school... we were teaching Fusion because students could do...

I just saw a note that the versions of Freecad (the ones under development (.DEV)) will NOT be working on older MacOS... I've got no way to confirm as I don't use MacOS ... Whether this is true or IF FreeCad might rectify is unknown. Someone else chimed in with a similar warning about...

I had considered Onsel but with the FC 1.0 getting close.. (creeping) I decided to wait. I had 'brain fog" with earlier "FC attempts at Assembly! One of my issues (at least related to FC) is I've learned the more complex an object is... attempting it as one "project" is a promise to run...

I've used Inventor for both 3D and CNC. I started Inventor circa 2004. with retirement the license was no longer accessible. Some of the projects I'd like to do will be 3d Prints... some parts will be so small my "fingers and eyes" will not suffice. <G> G

Ahhh... FORTRAN ... I remember it vaguely... punch cards.. punch cards that I didn't punch correctly. I'm beginning to think Alibre might be a better choice. I'll be considrting "kicking the tires" as seasons change. Are you also paying for updates?

I drove through Kansas twice. Once to hike climb in the Wind River Range Once to see a few 14ers in Colorado. Now THEY were an "uphill" but nothing like the slog of FreeCad! At least when I hiked I had good, accurate and understabable TOP maps. I'm "trying" (well maybe past tense) to create...

I am sufficiently frustrated at the moment with the development version of FreeCad 22dev. I've been trying to learn since ver .18.0 (glutton for punishment?) Rumor was that soon 22dev would lead to the long rumored 1.0. (I no longer believe the rumors.) I've BEEN TRYING to make any...

I am old according to my adult sons. I've been doing model railroading since the late 1950s. I've also tinkered with larger mechanical beasts. In 2004 I had access to Autodesk Inventor. I designed (successfully after a lot of blood sweat and tears) a few model projects. Retirement took my...
