I think configurations would have been a cool feature to include in this episode as it allows to basically control several variables at the same time, kinda like creating "profiles" for a set of variables, with drop-downs and checkboxes and everything.

I have a project i mind that could work for. The only problem is sometimes that I might have a few cracks at an element because I think of a better way to do it. If I were to include that and someone didn't watch the whole video, they might be lead down an inefficient path. Still open to the idea though.

Quick note: while multiplication and division "just work" as expected, if you want to use addition or subtraction with your variables you need units. I found I couldn't use #var+5 which I found really perplexing; after some googling I find #var+5mm works fine. Just in case somebody else is out there scratching their head like I was. BTW this series is amazing...I had no CAD experience whatsoever, and now having watched this series and nothing else I've already modeled and printed a bunch of useful stuff. Thanks.

One thing it would be good to talk about is how to design for printing - orientation, minimising supports (or using support where they won't affect seen faces), or even modifying the part design so supports are not required. - Adding design elements to help align / join / glue parts where they need to be split for printing due to shape and/or size. Also, for more advanced designs, a discussion about how to design for more advanced manufacturing (ie injection molding) would be handy for those who are designing something that may go on to be mass produced; the design considerations are different to 3d printing, and it can be useful to think of both requirements when designing.

Most of my designs use variables. Some of my complex designs are completely variable driven. I have examples of parts that have full thread definition driven by variables complete with knurling patterns all in one part. Been doing this for about 15 or 20 years. Makes it extremely easy to change or modify a pattern or a shape.

Great video Michael, thank you! Your expainations are always so clear and concise. I would love to see how you make complex curved surfaces and how to add texture to them. I know how to texture a flat or round surface but I cant figure it out for anything else. I also think the assembly configuration features could be a powerful tool but I've had a hard time getting a workflow together that makes it worth the effort.
@toregresdal2 жыл бұрын
I love this series! So useful and spot on with the topic of each episode. One thing I’d love to learn is more advanced use of variables. Let’s say I was making a holder for screwdrivers and I then specify with variables how many screwdrivers it’s supposed to hold. So if the part has 4 holes, I could say 10 and then suddenly it has 10 holes. (And preferably more advanced than just simple holes, ie. square pockets for a selection of sandpaper) I presume the variable could drive a pattern feature but I have never gotten it to work.

Great series Michael. Possibly a very useful lesson would be how to break up a design to be able to print and put back together. Eg if the part or complete thing one wants to make is larger than the print bed how could we split it and print it to go back together and some different options of how to create the joints. Eg snap fit, slide lock, push fit, a twist connect, screw
