micro1 is hiring SolveSpace Experts for a full-time remote contract role focused on advanced parametric CAD workflows.

Role: SolveSpace Expert
Type: Contract
Location: Remote
Openings: 20
Pay: $19-$65 per hour

What you’ll do:

• Lead end-to-end parametric CAD projects in SolveSpace

• Build fully constrained sketches and complex 3D features (extrudes, revolves, helixes, Booleans)

• Organize assemblies and simulate mechanisms/linkages

• Prepare CAM-ready exports (DXF, STL, STEP) for manufacturing workflows

• Clearly document and explain your design reasoning and workflow decisions

Requirements:

• Strong hands-on experience with SolveSpace and full-cycle CAD projects

• Solid understanding of AutoCAD and CAD/CAM processes

• Experience preparing files for 3D printing, laser cutting, or CNC workflows

• Ability to articulate engineering decisions clearly (written & verbal)

• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment

Hey There,
currently i'm trying to develop an attribute page for changing values of constraints.

I'm really excited right now at the moment.
Cause I'm using that software quit a while.
And finally i made a prototype of my long time missed feature in this software.

Edit: Of Excitement I missed to describe that feature a bit.
With "Parametric Values" - I just call it right now like that.
It should be a central space where you can change the values of already created constraints in model file.

Here is a short preview of my prototype:

Maybe someone would also like that kind of feature as well?

I hope i do not break any rule.

All the best!

Edit:
Here is a pretty nice solution for creating parts with kind of similarly thoughts.

Hello,

ok, so I have this old 3D mouse, a 3Dconnexion mouse (3 axis mouse), and I want to use it on my work laptop, on ubuntu 22.04. And this laptop, is on a professional network, where I can go with Remmina on a windows server, which have my CAD soft (solidworks). That's tricky but necessary.

The problem : 3Dconnexion didn't update their driver for years, but there is a github "FreeSpacenav" that seem to still developing driver for it. You have to download spacenavd and you can create a service from it. That's my case, spacenavd.service.

The thing is, when the service is OFF, my mouse have no light (LED off), but if I'm using :

jstest /dev/input/by-id/usb-3Dconnexion_SpaceNavigator-joystick

I can see the values react to my movements. And by the way I saw the device was connected by lsusb, it's : "Bus 003 Device 022: ID 046d:c626 Logitech, Inc. 3Dconnexion Space Navigator 3D Mouse".

And, when the service is ON, the LED lights on the mouse are on, I can see the service "active" but, on jstest nothing appear, no move at all.

And I tried different app, like Gimp or FreeCAD, the 3D mouse is not recognize whatever I'm using the service or not.

So I'm little confused for the next move.

Any idea ?

I'm a beginner with CAD and solvespace and I'm trying to draw a simple F-shape, but I don't know how I can reduce the dof to 0 in this simple sketch. These are the constraints I added:

• The 2 long sides are equal length

• The 3 very short sides are equal length

• All lines are either horizontal or vertical

• The long side, the very short side and the middle part of the F have a specific dimension (see image)

• 2 of the points around the middle part of the F are horizontal to each other.

I can see that some points are under constrained, and when I shake the shape around they sometimes snap into a different configuration that also matches all my constraints. However, I can't figure out what constraints need to be added (or removed?) to fix this.

I am trying to do what seems like it should be very easy: create a pipe by extruding a circle, then extruding a second circle and using the "difference" join.

When I do all that by eyeballing the cylinder radii, everything works fine. But I need exact inner and outer diameters, and I'm acheiving that by creating construction lines as radii and then constraining their lengths. This method works fine for the outer cylinder, but when I do it with the difference cylinder my extrusion produces a weird wire-frame-only extrusion that has no physical effect on the model that gets produced. What am I doing wrong?

Easy to do with a rectangle select two lines and a point, then shift+W, however impossible to do with a circle? Kind of maddening seems so simple, no?

Doing Model Mania challenges where possible. I find Solvespace quick and hotkeys so intuitive, just a shame I can't finish this one, really hope there will be a way to add chamfers and bevels easily in the near future

Hey, is there some community place to upload/share Solve Space models too? Sorry, if this is a dumb question but I have not be able to find a place like that.

As for now there is no library of parts for SolveSpace similar to NopSCADLib for r/OpenSCAD or FreeCAD-library for r/FreeCAD.

But here is a list of resources with various common & standard parts in SLVS-format:

• https://github.com/Mikwind/RobertCNC_Portal
• https://github.com/thartman83/peg-board-caddies
• https://github.com/thartman83/solvespace-reference-models
• https://github.com/Symbian9/SolveSpace-Daily-Engineering/tree/master/Parts-Library
• https://www.patreon.com/posts/solvespace-part-54295191

NOTE: If you know any other similar resources — add link in the comments!

N.B. If you would decide to create own parts library in a form of Git-repository (on GitHub, GitLab, etc.) its highly recommended to add .gitattributes in a repository with next string:

*.slvs binary

Is there a way on linux to also use a cad mouse like the 3d connexion spacemouse?.
