No, I have not tested it!
All parts which I have for my 3D printer designed I created with freecad! The German communitie of freecad is very good and now I get along very well handle it! Heeks I have looked on Windows and have not been understood since.

Hi Vverve,

with 2freecad-dev0.15+oce0.15+deps_5.8.3.rc1.sfs and heekscad+heekscnc-1.0.0.B.sfs the Heeks will work!
Is it possible to remove freecad from the sfs to make it smaller?
Now all I need is a good introduction for HeeksCAD + CNC

regards

Wolfgang

Yes Wolfgang to shrink just extract it,modify it ,dir2sfs it .
Or , download the latest heekscad ,
same link/heekscad/heek...1.0.0.B.sfs ,
it should work with 4_5_freecad dev only.sfs....it work for me.

vVerve

it works and 100MB (4_5_freecad-dev0.15deps_only.sfs + heekscad+heekscnc-1.0.0.B.sfs) for HeekCAD + CNC is ok!
is there a step by step doku for Heeks-Dummys?

Wolfgang

Wolf ,
Sorry got no Heeks tutos in particular to suggest.

Of the 100Mb, there are less than 10 for Heeks ,2?Mb of oce0.15 the rest are other dependencies ,Qt,Pythons,etc shared by Heeks and Freecad.

Hi Vverve,

Can you help me Estlcam to get to work?
It requires mono.
It is to convert dxf to CNC programs for me the best program.
http://www.estlcam.com/

Hi Vverve,

Estlcam is running!!!
It will run with playonlinux!
Basic is http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=90396
in addition I installed in playonlinux .net and gdiplus.
What is still missing is to make the whole package a nice sfs !!
No idea how to get the best created!

Hi Vverve,

Cncsimulator and Estlcam run perfectly in PlayOnLinux! Everything is in sfs and will dynamically loaded when needed.

many Greetings

Wolfgang

See first post : uploaded freecad 0.16 dev + updated hamish assembly2 ++ SFS , tested on Tahrpup 6.03 , save often...
PLZ report here only sfs related whatever you find missing/weird/broken/fun/obsolete/etc in it...

Update Heekscad to 1.1.0
The more i dig in its gcode/path generation functions , the more I like it.
Note: I am only an "online"-self-educated machinist ..


See first post.

Freecad team merge the CAM module in their master branch .
Available for testing with basic functions . Generating gcode from one package is a plus.
Keep in mind ,no stable release here ,back it up often .

See first post(edited many times..and more to come...as I try to keep it as a "main" details/ news/personal memo resources)

New freecad-dev_+dependencies

See first post...

Freecad-dev 64 bit for tahrpup_64 beta
Will it survive post-beta,gamma,rc?we'll see...
Packages included (96)list in attachment.

Read first post.

Freecad-dev 64 bit for tahrpup_64 beta
Will it survive post-beta,gamma,rc?

Yes....seems 6.0.4 ok

Hi revolverve,

Does free cad do 3d object assembly animation?

I have used a software years ago named Ideas on windows.
It could do assembly animations and also working animations to check for defects.
Ideas was bought by Solidedge and discontinued.
Now for years I have not worked in designing field.
Just want to do some off time work.

Thanks.

Hi drunkjedi

I did saw 3d mechanical animation from freecad.
I only design 3d parts for cnc machining ,hope for improvement of the cam module and in no need yet to assemble complex parts. I only scratch the surface of freecad full potential ...
your best bet would be FreeCad forums\tutorials.
Note :
- every modules found on ubuntu daily dev+assembly is included here...much more than I need!
-mid-off-topic,installation of freecad stable+dependencies should be possible from package management,for those who dont see the benefits of using sfs and/or dev version.

No worries friend.
I have downloaded the sfs.
I will see what can I do, when I get home from work.
I prefer sfs than pets or debs.

Thanks.

Cheers drunkjedi !

look like you need python skill...and VRML

Have fun learning with a cold Corellian Ale!

Thanks revolverve, I found some tutorials too. Thanks.

The sfs is working great.
