An Introduction to FreeCAD 1.0 Part 4

[@dreamwaks]

4th of the series an now I am getting a hang if FreeCAD from complete beginner. Thanks!

[@Adventuresincreation]

That's great to hear! Keep practicing.

[@kjn4819]

Excellent video. Very clearly done. Look so easy when You know how to do it.

[@Adventuresincreation]

Thanks, I think the book makes it pretty simple.

[@kjn4819]

@@Adventuresincreation book? You made a book?

[@Adventuresincreation]

@kjn4819 I have published a couple of books, the first was a childrens book, Maurice find his meow! and the second is Python for beginners.

@@Adventuresincreation Nice, Thank You or sharing.

I'm loving this back-to-basics series. Just joined you on ko-fi. Can't wait until the next one.

[@Adventuresincreation]

Thanks for the support!

[@hymermobiler]

Great video I thought about how I would do it before watching and was almost right. I was thinking rough out the whole shape including the three pockets to start but then I would not be able to make use of the linear pattern. So must remember to look for that in future. Thanks for the tips! I dont mind longer videos its more info for us to learn.

[@Adventuresincreation]

Thanks for the feedback. I am glad you thought about it ahead of time.

[@workforth]

Nice Video, Once again! Thank you for your efforts.

[@Adventuresincreation]

You are welcome 😉

Thank you for this turorial series. I'm a retired mechanical engineer who used Creo for work, and just now getting back to designing for 3D printing as a hobby. I am using Rev. 1.0 official release. The one area that I could not get to work is scketching a pocket on the XZ plane and the offsetting the sketch plane. I could not get the Placement Position dimention to change. I ended up sketching on the face then mirroring the pocket.

[@Adventuresincreation]

That's curious. You should be able to simply change the attachment location. - A thought! - double check which parameters you are changing, there are two that are similar one is placement (you can't change this) the other is attachment. You should be changing the attachment.

[@Snuffly_Locker]

@@Adventuresincreation Thank you so much! You were right. There is a "Position" under "Placement" as well as under "Attachment Offset".

[@Kosm0Doc]

Greate video trying to learn cad for 3d printing thank you so much i also now just hear the word Sketchhhh in my head the way u said it lol

[@Adventuresincreation]

I 3D print stuff all the time. I am currently printing some stands for some laser cut wooden items and a mount for an outside solar light.

[@Kosm0Doc]

@@Adventuresincreation what kidn of 3d printer do you currently use?

[@Adventuresincreation]

@@Kosm0Doc I have 2 printers the main one is an Ender3 V2 Neo the other is Entina Tina2 Plus

[@landlocked4771]

This is going to need to be watched a few more times for me. Thanks for that. Nice Job , is that a closet rod holder with some additional hooks?

[@Adventuresincreation]

It's for a surround on door blinds.

[@yuryromance]

Thanks great tutorial. The one thing that didn't work was that linear alignment at the 26 min mark but otherwise learn a lot. looking forward to more of your videos.

[@Adventuresincreation]

Thank you

[@bme-uk]

Great video TY

[@Adventuresincreation]

Thanks!

[@stringmanipulator]

very nice work

[@Adventuresincreation]

Thank you

[@rodneysmith1750]

How would you 3D print that model? Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@Adventuresincreation]

I have printed it on its side with support

[@Kevin-nw9om]

So that was pretty cool...How do you calculate the offset?

[@Adventuresincreation]

Which offset are you referring to?

[@Kevin-nw9om]

​@@Adventuresincreation in general what its for, 34:52 has it being used for the triangles

[@hymermobiler]

Would you be able to provide a dimensioned drawing for your models so we can print it out or have it available on screen as we try to draw our attempt? I am thinking a tech drawing taken off your model rather than a hand sketch. Thanks

[@Adventuresincreation]

Yep, I can do that, might be a good video

[@tomthompson7400]

Great stuff , once again , but I wonder how many hours it will take me to get it done lol

[@Adventuresincreation]

I am planning to expand on that with a spreadsheet in the next video.

[@K_Shea]

Is it possible to create a plane from/on a model face.? Thanks

[@Adventuresincreation]

Yes, you can do that. But it is possible that the topligical naming issue could be problem then. If you are linking to a face you could just use that face to attach the sketch to.

[@slpk]

What is the need to have fully constrained sketches?

[@Adventuresincreation]

You can model without fully constrained sketches, the only danger is that something gets modified without the constraint in place. It's good practice to constrain the sketches.
