* [ Make Angle Frame Connector](https://ose-3d-printer-workbench.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pages/make_angle_frame_connector.html)

## Installation

1. Identify where you need to manually download and install the workbench.

    * Common locations for various operating systems can be found on "[Installing more workbenches](https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Installing_more_workbenches)" in the FreeCAD wiki.

    * You can also execute `FreeCAD.getUserAppDataDir()` within the **Python console** in FreeCAD for this location. Workbenches will always go into the `Mod` directory in the user's application data directory.

2. Download the workbench as a **ZIP** archive and extract, or use command-line `git` to `clone` the repository into the correct location (e.g. `~/.FreeCAD/Mod/ose-3d-printer-workbench`)

3. Follow step **2** for [ose-workbench-core](https://github.com/gbroques/ose-workbench-core) by downloading or cloning into the same directory (e.g. `~/.FreeCAD/Mod/ose-workbench-core`).

Additionally, there are installation walk-through videos on YouTube featuring instructions with and without the command-line:
