I am impressed. > But I was wrong again. I got an exact duplicate of the wrongly rendered flexgear off the printer this morning. Worthless, Going back to the lower right corner of freecad, and swiping the clicked mouse across that window to highlight anything that might have been there, I found it was filled with errors cause what I was doing was outside the scope of that part, and could not find a place to change that "scope". What the hell were they thinking, reporting errors on a white screen background in a pale, washed out yellow?
The alternate driver motor/encoder I had ordered for the bs-1 should I fail to make this work, is still sitting in the fedex terminal with a shipping label on it, created on 9/6/20. And I went to the fedex site to get fresh tracking and found I had to fill out a phishing form before it would activate the track button. Needless to say, that never happened. Then I get a msg from the vendor, apologizing for the delay. But he gave me a sub-page at fedex, which only wanted my name and email as its now emailing the search results. I sent the vendor a msg to go get it and ship it some other way, as its still sitting in Chino a/o an hour ago. No answer yet.
