Marlin Model 60 Flashlight Mount

Look at how police clear houses though, weapon mounted lights are pretty standard, tells us something...

Yes, it does.

And these guys are very well trained.

jmorris - First one, that officer has been indited for murder. Second, and third, yes, someone really messed up TOO. How many million interactions with police happen a year, how many result in problems like those?

Training - LEOs usually need far more training than they get, IMO, don't get me started. So let's defund them, that will obviously result in better officers with more training, right? (Oh wait...)

Daekar - Interesting, thanks!

There are a lot of little things about FreeCAD which indicate its FOSS status... it's just not polished compared to a commercial suite. You can't beat the price though! And the parametric sketching seems to work great, so I have stuck with it.

Ironically, after all the scouring through the interface, I still can’t find out how to start drawing something lol.

I don't blame you, it's confusing. I had to read the help file. What I do to start is:
1) Start new file.
2) Use the dropdown at the top to select the "Part Design" workspace.
3) Click the yellow "Create a part and make it active" button.
4) Click the blue "Create a new body and make it active" button.
5) Click the "Create a new sketch" button.
6) Select "XY_Plane (Base plane)" and hit OK. Note that you are now viewing the Sketch object you just created and are in the "Sketcher" workspace.
7) Use the sketching tools to draw and constrain your sketch.
8) Close the sketch and return to the Part Design workspace.
9) Extrude or revolve your sketch as appropriate, etc.

Note that even if the endpoint or object snap indicator comes up when adding lines, it doesn't work reliably. I always draw disconnected lines and explicitly constrain them as desired for this reason.

Appreciate it Daekar. Always had that issue and n VCarve where every time I compiled a tool path it alerted me of open vectors. I mainly need to research the materials I can use in these printers and strengths thereof.
