Tried to continue with cable chain file optimisation. Issues with FreeCAD, apparently snapping does not work in Sketcher, upgraded to FreeCAD 0.17 to be able to use more recent features, tried drawing (based on online recommendations) in Draft workbench and creating sketch from there using Draft to Sketch, for some reason, it worked the first time and then stopped working. An inordinate amount of time spent trying to figure this out.

Further work on the pipe frame assembly
Sat May 6, 2017
Trying out a thought on building a D3D frame assembled out of plastic pipes, elbows and t-junctions, the idea being to see if the entire frame can be assembled out of stock plumbing materials with only five special clamps for holding the metal plates that receive the magnets being 3d printed. Source files not shared as this was done as a proof of concept in proprietary software with the intention of replicating in FreeCAD once the iteration process showed some promise as author is still trying to get comfortable with FreeCAD.

D3D: Derivative design using PVC or metal pipes and plastic xyz corners.
Preferably we want to use plastic corners (geometry can be complex for these) and either PVC pipe or metal conduit.
Links for set up guides for running OSE_OS on a virtual machine on Windows (using Virtual Box) added to the [[HowTo_Document_for_Windows_Users]] based on experience gained while setting up for this task.
