Thank you so much!

[@brianmaness3087]

Thanks a TON for this video. I have an on and off again intermediate autocad skillset. I just got a 3D printer and want to start some basic 3d design stuff for hobbies. I stumbled around Onshape for a couple hours thinking I’d pick up the interface/commands and got pretty discouraged. Following along with your coffee mug has got me jump started! Just what I needed to get a little muscle memory going.

[@columcreed4352]

This is the first tutorial I followed where my end result resembled anything close to what it was supposed to look like. Nicely done.

[@scotterholm5840]

As far as I can understand, the handle is only connected to the mug at the tangent. How would you draw a real-life handle which is connected to the arc/curve of the mug?

[@scottajane]

You could at least bring the 'outer edge' working plane in from 50mm to say 48mm to ensure the handle is fully connected. Not sure this is the best way though. Then 'Boolean union' the parts so you can make a nice fillet on the joining curved surface.

[@granolacash3340]

I had the same concern! The handle is not connected to the mug in his tutorial

[@coyo419]

@@granolacash3340 I know , that is the part I wanted to know the most! best way to do connect the handle...

[@thegeneral1313]

I too would like to know

[@vergodagoat]

@@coyo419 you could probably boolean. i personally did a circular hand using revolve instead of sweep and i didn’t get an error when adding.

[@dietznutz1]

Youll be fine Hahaha that sucks "I wasted my college years"

[@stevrgrs]

Why?

[@imadoggggggg]

Drafting/modeling is just a part of engineering. You can be an engineer and never touch the stuff.

[@samofrabat]

That's not engineering, it's drafting, it's a mere side task for an Engineer.

[@imadoggggggg]

@@samofrabat what I said.

[@stripedcollar335]

I have been a Solidworks designer for almost 20 years. I have several 3d printing related income streams but didn't want to tie up capital with a Sw license. Onshape gives me productive time to earn the $ to offset the cost before I buy. Thank you for your tutorial series. It has helped me transfer my design skills to the new platform. Im liking onshape more each time I use it.

[@canadiansparky64]

My first lesson and I followed along, wish I had two screens, fumbled along is probably more accurate. Somehow I moved my whole image to the right of the screen and I couldn't get the image to rotate by clicking on it until I figured out it was a right click and then drag it. This will be one of my first prints when I get my first machine on Monday, I followed along with adding the handle just for the knowledge, then removed it until I see how my machine does with over hangs. This lesson took me from zero knowledge on CAD to here, so as a 60 year old, Thanks very much. Subscription added.

[@95TurboSol]

On the offset plane part, is there a way to click an area I want to set the new plane on the object without typing the dimensions? I can definitely see myself forgetting what they were and it seems easier just to click where it should be

[@debop9943]

Thanks I needed this for school. Quick and Simple

[@BrettWareWoodWorks]

Thank you so much for this video! Down to your voice. Easy to watch and easy to listen to! I look forward to all of your videos.

[@infiniteone11]

Handle is not properly connected to the mug, cause attachment does not follow the form of the mug. it will not merge this way - anyway to fix that?

[@DanielosCompaneros]

Exactly what I thought. Maybe there is a tool that can connect two objects idk

[@infiniteone11]

@DanielosCompaneros Try to end the spline more perpendicularly to the joining surface and offset the plane for the Handel sketch more toward the inside diameter of the cup.

[@fullmoon6661]

Extrude the "Handle" sketch "up to face" to the face of "Mug Solid".

[@reefrookies]

Easy pace, just enough info to get started. Thanks!

[@westmurphy6450]

Is the handle only tangent to the mug surface?

[@1110-k7d]

Probably the best tutorial out there

[@EnjoyPlantPower]

Regarding the handle questions, it is true that when you zoom in the handle is only connected on the centre line, not the whole width of the handle. I approached it differently, keeping my cup body solid, ran the handle sweep from the centre line of the entire cup and then extruded the inside of the cup after the creation of the handle.

[@paul_devo]

Thanks for the video... wont the handle not be connected to the cup becauseyou drew the handle bases on a flat plane and the cup surface is a curve. How do you join these? thank you

[@lennartstuebe770]

Yeah that's what I thought aswell🤔. I'm just getting into one shape... But I think if you just offset 'plane 2'(outer edge) a little bit you'd just connect it. 🧙🏽‍♂️

[@fullmoon6661]

Extrude the "Handle" sketch "up to face" to the face of "Mug Solid".

[@livelygoats]

That is really clear thank you. Also so cool how the subscribe button went rainbow when you said subscribe 😆

[@eugenethygreat1387]

thank u so much i just joined a world champ robotics club and i need to be good at this for the sections of it that im joining

[@Mattay20]

Very glad i found your video, it was super helpful and well presented. Used windows 3d builder and tinker cad to this point so this feels a little more to learn but so much easier to get shapes you want. Looking to design a boat once ive watched enough videos. Subbed.

[@MrAlgefors]

Very simple and easy explained! I will view more videos!

[@GsyROV]

Hi Brandon ,thanks for the video , i'm trying to make a caliper wondering how the best way to add the accurate measurements on the caliper ?

[@privateassman8839]

I think using a label machine alongside your 3d printer would work best?

[@jeffreyhiggason4004]

Thank you for making this video =)

[@borisbommen]

My question is what determines the thickness of the bottom part. Will it make it automatically 4mm also?

[@carstenjensen3123]

Thanks a bunch - this is very helpful for someone starting into 3D printing

[@jquehe]

I don't know where I am going wrong, but I cannot enter the dimensions as I draw. As I drag the edges the dimensions appear, but I see no way to edit them. And hitting enter does not seem to complete the action. If I instead try to click on the Green checkmark, as my cursor moves, so does the shape of the object I am attempting to sketch.

[@debop9943]

You just type it

[@charllesaclag6277]

yeah i cant either

[@RajinderYadav]

type and then press tab to move to the next dimension if there are multiple. use tab to complete not enter.

[@stevrgrs]

Right click and make sure you have it changed from driven dimension to driving dimension :)

[@Bele-c3s]

I don’t really like onshape, buy you know, it’s free so I use it. Anyways the mouse controls are just horrible and I tried to change them but the other ones are even worse. Do you know any method to change (personally) those controls?

[@154Colin]

Do you have a willingness to look at my sketch and tell me where I am going wrong. Having trouble with the constraints. I can't seem to post to the Onshape Community to get an answer. BTW. I found it INVALUABLE to name your Feature Tree steps to go back and adjust.

[@andersdaun3950]

How do u change the thickness of the sweep of the handle?

[@duartebento7003]

If u make a bigger eclipse, the thickness of the handle will be greater

[@kentharris7427]

I just started using onshape yesterday and was able to make all the parts for the 3D picture frame. Is there a way to import all the parts to one drawing? I need to lay them out a certain way so the CNC Router can cut the parts out of one sheet of wood.

[@helenjacks4836]

I am struggling to add dimensions on eclipse or alter once created - it either duplicates more circles but the dimension does not allow me to alter once creating - I have watched over and over but still not letting me - what am I doing wrong?

[@charlescastle1630]

You need to click on both dimensions of the ellipse -- height and width. When you click the 2nd dimension, you can enter your measurements. Took me a while to figure this out, would click here or there, and finally figured it out. He said it in the description, but didn't demonstrate it so it wasn't easy to follow.

[@kentharris7427]

Really similar to sketchup. This software can help me design my 3D picture frame.

[@ericschwister4659]

It is rather quiet. Can you use a louder mic for future vids? Great video though!

[@ALSAHAFI13]

10:08 is there a way to lock the z axis vertically?

[@OriginalThisAndThat]

Handle point ellipses.. Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V .. ;) But how to move handle "inside" the mug so the handle sits nicely on mugs side? Also how to adjust thickess on the bottom of the mug?

[@RajinderYadav]

for you 2nd question, you can draw another circle on the extruded surface and then do another extrude to "remove" down to what ever dept you feel like instead of using the shell tool.

[@eXpire163]

I also have a gap between the sides of the handle and the bug, only the center is connected. moving the handle plane to about 48mm instead of 50 works but feels wrong

[@ahmedalruqaishi7312]

thank you so much

[@Cadintentions]

You're very welcome! Thanks for watching and the comment

[@svenmj4973]

Why cant I move planed and make them bigger?

[@NathanR821]

how would you save this to a file

[@Atticusrobins]

I swear I’m better at onshape than half the engineering students at my school and I haven’t even done options yet

[@jasonb2553]

Huge miss on this tutorial not connecting the handle to the cup. Literally two more minutes and you could have completed the project.

[@eugenethygreat1387]

also i cant find the planes the entire time like when i have to go and right click on a plane for making the handle my planes arent there

nice vid, but the program is pissing me off tbh, i can make anything in paint, but here its over complicated, should be able to just do like default thickness and draw in 2d instead of 3d, and draw it done then add 3d to add the outer layer, i need to use this to make racks for work.
