If you want to create professional #fonts, there’s nothing better than using @FreeCAD and exporting to #SVG. The #CAD Sketcher component in #Blender doesn’t work great on my PC, but it’s still a solid option. #FontForge #b3d

Hello people! I've been on the Fediverse for couple of years now, so here's my re-#introduction

I'm Ari, better known by my tag APZ and this is my #pinball repair, #arcade and #retrogaming account. I mostly post about playing and repairing pinball machines, but I also work on #retrocomputing with all the classics.

An IT guy by day, I moonlight as a pinball arcade owner here in #finland with my partner @quester. This is purely a hobby of mine, I do this to keep my sanity and to keep pinball alive for the next generations of players. At the moment I own a bit over 30 pinball machines from 70s to 2020s.

A lot of what I do involves #electronics, #CAD for now obsolete parts and #3dprinting and tabletop #cnc to recreate them.

I love to #travel, usually to meet like-minded arcade collectors. I have a strong preference to #repair stuff instead of throwing it away. I'm a #linux user since mid-90s, having been part of #foss movement most of my life. I also edit arcade related videos.

Hi. I'm kbob. Intro time.

I used to get paid to write software. Now that I'm retired, I do it for free. I also play with 3D printers and electronics and stuff.

I love learning, and I like to make things the hard way. I often create a #BuildThread about a project and update it for months.
