Intro To FreeCAD V1.0 Part 11 creating a model from an image file

[@featross-r4j]

This is sick. i remember doing this via facebinding and i'm glad we're doing this from inkscape to the print. A solid video would be showing a way to separate models for printing in different colors, utilizing the slicer features

Good idea, I might do that with the LED sign follow up

Thank you!

Thanks, Ian! Great video, my first exposure to the process you used, I will be working this into my process, and looking forward to seeing your solution of lighting. In my situation, I am designing to use a "rope" type neon LED light. I have not found very much variety available here in Mexico so far. I am curious to see your process. From my perspective a longer video is not a problem, I do understand your point though.

Thanks Rodney, I know you appreciate the longer videos but I can produce shorter ones much faster. I have also used the led strips they cost around $6 here.

I watched the last hour long video twice. Once straight through, and once step by step as I drew it myself! Then I 3D printed it!

Excellent, I am glad you enjoyed it! 😁

thanks. great video. but i am having some isues. When i import my svg to freecad 1.0 it doesnt import anything. what can i be doing wrong?

[@Adventuresincreation]

If you open the svg inkscape does it look OK? Did you turn off transparency? Did you save it as a plain SVG?

You can make longer videos, just don't make them silent movies! Thanks for the videos long or not long. There is a channel that regularly makes 30-40 minute videos for beginners that have no sound. I tried to watch one to learn about a cool new workbench, but I could not make it 3 minutes in. No set up, no name of the tool, no why, no tool-tip bubbles, nothing but silence and fast building.

No silent movies here
