Hi all,
I have an idea for a project that may be of interest: a 2-D library for fischertechnik parts. Something like this:
The goal is not to replace fischertechnik designer, of course (that's utterly impossible for a 2-d tool), but simply to build a collection of parts for sharing design ideas using Figma (https://www.figma.com/). This tool is free, collaborative and very easy to use, so everyone can contribute.
If there is interest in such a library, I may start designing and build it. The great limitation is, of course, that this is a 2-D tool. So please be honest in your opinions!
P.S. 1) Unfortunately I cannot read or write in German. But I use Google translator all the time so I can read the forum posts in English, and it works pretty well.
P.S. 2) I'm undoubtedly "Alter Sack", and I have many stories and have done a lot with ft over the years (e. g. https://ftcommunity.de/bilderpool/baste ... ace/38218/), so I may tell you about that later. Meanwhile, I wish the best for everyone, and thanks for keeping the fischertechnik flame alive!

Hallo...
I build the parts in corel draw. Or there are other pictures from m.b. Fritzing. Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Kapere mal den Thread; hat schon jemand den ftDuino in Fritzing gebaut und würde das Ergebnis mit der Community teilen?fishfriend hat geschrieben: ↑07 Jan 2021, 15:35[...]

Hi Rubem,
Best regards,
Lars
Perhaps that would be a useful addition to the ft database. Some of the drawings are difficult to read, the 2D images could provide more clarity in these cases.rubem hat geschrieben: ↑06 Jan 2021, 19:20[...]The goal is not to replace fischertechnik designer, of course (that's utterly impossible for a 2-d tool), but simply to build a collection of parts for sharing design ideas using Figma (https://www.figma.com/).

Hi Holger, these are great! CorelDraw can easily export SVG files, and as far as I know Fritzing also works with SVG. In fact the parts I made above (and below) were done in Affinity Designer. They all can all be integrated in a Figma library. Incidentally, here's what I've been doing with them:
I was trying to figure out the best way of mounting a micro:bit onto fischertechnik.
Thanks for your drawings!
