Intermediate
We took as a reference the set of solutions achieved in the NASA CHALLENGE: Ejection Mechanism Design for the SPEED Test Architecture, and we proceeded to propose alternatives not limited to the rear ejection of the capsule. In the M25 Chair - Synthesis of Mechanisms and Machines, we recognize this task as: Divergent-Convergent Creative Postprocessing.

Shorten parts parametrically in FreeCAD
DDMDZN

Intermediate
I needed to shorten a part by 0.1mm. A quick and dirty approach would have gotten the job done, but what if there were more changes upstream? I came up with a workflow to remove material from the "middle" of a part while still being able to make upstream changes that trickle down to the shortened part. Sound confusing? It's not. Play around with the project file and you will see how to replicate this workflow.
