Great job with that heaxgon pattern. Congratulations with the huge milestone of 50K subscribers!! ✨🎉

Nice video. Towards 100k now!

Thank you- it feels strange to be so close but so far!

🥳 Congrats to 50k! 🎉

That's a really cool video man. FreeCAD is not the most intuitive thing to use out there. But I am always amazed at the complexity of geometry you can achieve if you put the time in to learn it. And you're showcasing that beautifully.

Thanks much! It's been a great platform and it gets less credit than it deserves

Congrats on 50K. Man, FC is great, only wish I have that in the future with newer versions it somehow becomes faster and more responsive, because it is slow as heck I fairly basic stuff, but yea it is 100% free... I would love to see it being snappy like OnShape or 360...

Congrats on the 50K, and thank you for another instructive video! Slicing a pad with low curvature surface works fine, but can anyone recommend a way to *wrap* text/pattern *around* a surface?

The part workbench has a feature for that. wiki.freecad.org/Part_ProjectionOnSurface

Thank you, @JokoEngineeringhelp!

Nice video! I recreated your play button in build123d (a new fully open source CAD package). Here is the build123d sourcecode: from build123d import * ms = Mode.SUBTRACT with BuildPart() as p: with BuildSketch() as s: RectangleRounded(3,2,.25) with BuildSketch(Plane.XY.offset(.3)) as s2: Circle(.1) with BuildSketch(Plane.XY.offset(.3)) as s3: Circle(.01) loft() with BuildSketch() as s4: RectangleRounded(3,2,.25) with HexLocations(.5/2,8,6): RegularPolygon(.5/2-.025,6,major_radius=False,mode=ms) zz=extrude(target=p.part.scale(1.01),until=Until.LAST) with BuildSketch(Plane.XY.offset(p.part.bounding_box().max.Z)) as s5: RegularPolygon(.5,3,30) extrude(amount=-.05,mode=ms) with BuildSketch(Plane.XY.offset(p.part.bounding_box().max.Z)) as s6: with Locations((0,.66)): Text("JOKO ENGINEERING",.25,font_style=FontStyle.BOLD) with Locations((0,-.66)): Text("50,000 SUBSCRIBERS",.25,font_style=FontStyle.BOLD) zz2=extrude(until=Until.PREVIOUS,mode=Mode.PRIVATE) add(zz2.translate((0,0,-.02)),mode=ms)

Woah how did I miss this comment? This looks amazing
