Jeppe<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@FreeCAD" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>FreeCAD</span></a></span> My TV soundbar broke, because of a bad chip, so I wanted to repurpose the speaker parts, and the subwoofer, into a portable speaker. So I have been drawing up a "blaster" in FreeCAD with parts that will fit on my 3D printer. Biggest project yet. So far it is going pretty good. The amplifier I had unfortunately didnt work. So it is a bit on pause for now. <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FreeCADFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeCADFriday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FreeCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeCAD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/3dprint" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>3dprint</span></a></p>
