The screenshot above is a solar oven I designed using librecad. The oven is for a community garden (Le Jardin Partager) in Gaillac, France where I live.
Ferdie, my global evaluator, asked me to add a few words about my 2d design process. I used the mouse not the command line in librecad. For almost all cases, I am an anti-command line kind of guy - machines and software should be designed to adapt to the cognitive capabilities of humans, which are considerable, and not force humans to adapt to machines (see Norman, Don The Design of Everyday Things and Rose, David Enchanted Objects: Innovation, Design, and teh Future of Technology). I find the emphasis and merit given in Fabacademy to complex ways to do simple things offensive and against the spirit of the democratization of technology.
