FreeCAD for Beginners #50 Battery Holder Parametric Model

[@clytle374]

I'm pretty proficient with getting Freecad to do what I need it to do. But I am grateful that you take your time to help others. Many people think Freecad is too hard to learn, and if you have no starting point they aren't wrong. Thanks for helping the Freecad community

[@Adventuresincreation]

It's my pleasure

Geez, now I wish you had bought Ryobi so I didn't have to go and do the redesign work. Great video Ian, thanks for all you do to keep all of us on the "straight and narrow"!

[@Adventuresincreation]

The beauty of parametric design should make this an easy switch for you Rodney. I am loving it for my batteries

Thanks for doing these videos, they are well done and always helpful. Suggestion-turn the view to wireframe when picking lines to fillet, it makes picking them much easier.

[@Adventuresincreation]

Good idea 💡 thanks for the suggestion

[@wantafastz28]

Thank you for making these.

[@Adventuresincreation]

You are welcome

When you modified the hole spacing to 177.8mm, an easier way to do that is to delete the mm and type 7 in or 7". It will automatically convert it.

[@Adventuresincreation]

Yes, you are correct, as long as include the " for the 7"

Thanks! What printer / model do you have? Happy with it?

[@Adventuresincreation]

I have an ender 3 pro v2. I like it but have had a couple of issues so far that I never saw with my tevo tornadoes. It is a nice printer.
