CAD TUTORIAL : FreeCAD Beginner [EASY GUIDE]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 พ.ค. 2024
- FreeCAD can baffle. CAD tutorials can bemuse. So here I go with an easier approach, learning by doing, and making a practical Phone Holder that can be 3D printed at the end of the tutorial. Deliberately there's nothing demanding or technical here... it's just a step by step build, giving you the confidence to use the tools you need and be able to ignore the many distractions you don't.
And if a phone holder isn't your thing, that's okay, because by following along you'll pick up on FreeCADs way of doing things and quickly begin to acquire the CAD skills you require to tackle your chosen projects.

no matter how intimidating something is, one's much less worried about it when some calm guy (or should I say "lad") is explaining it to you with a nice British accent
Jan, that really made me laugh. Thank you 😁😁😁
AT LAAST !!!! a FreeCad tutorial that I can actually understand. The presentation, both the narrative and the illustrations, were superb. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
I couldn't agree more!
literaly the best one!!!!
Indeed the most understandable tutorial i ever saw on Freecad. Now i can really start to use it... Thank you, @vogman!!
19:03 "I'm now looking at the rear from the proper angle, something that always gives me pleasure"
I can definitely agree with that, my man
Thank you sir for a great instructional video. Hope you make more.
How this video doesn't have millions of views is absolutely baffling! By far the best video to follow along to for freecad. And it was perfect for me wanting to make a phone stand a certain way. Thank you for your tutorials. And the jokes make the video so much easier to go along with, in my opinion 💯
Glad it was helpful!
IF YOU DON'T KNOW A THING ABOUT FREECAD, THIS IS THE PERFECT TUTORIAL!!! THANKS MAN!!!
Thank you, very well done and easy to understand.
I wish I'd found this before I started pulling my hair out (not much there anyway at my age haha) Too many videos rush through or miss out the most important steps by assuming you have at least some knowledge, but I wouldn't be searching for freecad basics if I had that knowledge, thankfully your approach is exactly what's needed. Thank you so much, new subscriber here now!
thank you, really useful and easy to follow - with judicious use of pause key I managed to keep up!
This was a wonderful tutorial. I checked your videos and saw you never made this into a series. That's a shame, you have such a talent for having the right amount of learning and abstracting what you were trying to teach in order to get fundamentals down. Here's hoping you might pick this back up.
I'll be honest, I enjoyed doing the tutorial but at the time I was very surprised how few people actually wanted to watch it. I've no doubt this was down to the magical TH-cam algorithm as, over time, more and more people have slowly found the video and have been very kind with their comments.
Loved this Tutorial, simple, straight to the point, and easy to follow along. Thank you!
This is a very good tutorial! Have you made some more on the topic?
Only half through the video & already wanting to say thank you. This is easy to follow.
Somehow everybody dims himself a great teacher and improvises when making a learning video, but this author actually prepared a lesson, a script and thougtfully executed with no monotonous voice or pauses, wrong steps and mumbling and jumbling. I liked this video more then everything before.
I love your teaching style. Thanks!
This was the best tutorial I've ever seen. Was really fun to watch and learn with you. Thank you
Glad it was helpful! I've just done a similar video on Fusion 360 you may enjoy th-cam.com/video/lreS58lmkTs/w-d-xo.html
you got an awesome sense of humor making thing supposed to be boring an absolute fun, thank you!
Holy crap. I've never had such a relaxing training. Please, before I go through all your videos, that you have more!
This is the best Freecad tutorial
Love your videos. I am a total hands-on learner. You can sit there and explain everything, but until I see it, it won't sink in. So thank you for what you do. ❤✌
By far the best tutorial out there. Thank you so much for putting in the work to teach us how to use FreeCad! Without this video I would've been totally lost!
There's nothing about this video that I don't love! Thank you!
I am so grateful!
This was my first Free Cad tutorial. What a great experience! This was really easy to follow. Thank you so much!
great tutorial, watched several videos over the last few weeks, wen't straight over my head, I could follow your tutorial easily, Thank you 👍
Yes. Just what I needed, to the point info that let's ne get started to draw in FreeCad without getting 'lost in the weeds'! Thank you!
Amazing, exactly what i needed. I copied and put my own twists on it and its printing right now, my first design and print! Thanks!
Thank you, a very well executed video
Even if I didn't want to learn FreeCad I'd still watch this tutorial for the entertainment value!!
Great tutorial!
Glad you liked it!
Great tutorial. Hoping for part 2 and 3 and beyond
Great tutorial! I have been checking out a bunch of 3D modelling/CAD tools lately but got stuck on some detail in all cases. This is by far the best tutorial I found in months and will for sure give FreeCAD some attention this weekend!
Excellent tutorial. I am getting my 1st 3d printer, and as soon as I can get the printer going and me printing this will be my next stop. THANKS THANKS THANKS. OUSTANDING!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. Iam computer stupid, however I followed you clear instructions and succeeded from AAH! to great and now I need your next tutorial
.
Best Nooby tutorial ive found on youtube, thank you.
Wow! This is so good. Don't know if it was the accent of my home area that I left some fifty years ago but I'm sure it did. keep up the good work and thanks.
This is excellent! Thank you for this great tutorial.
Complete newbie here. It took a couple of tries but, your tutorial was a lot of fun, educational and, it was a huge boost to my confidence. Thanks.
I really appreciate your teaching style. Having grappled with Fusion 360 and never really enjoying the workflow and controls, I will now give freecad a try. Thank you. 👍🇦🇺😎
A Great starter, I started with Solidworks, then Fusion 360 (No Hope with AUTOCAD) and now this. It has its quirks but thanks to this video I am up and running now.
Thank you, this is precisely what I required in order to start using this CAD program
Thanks for this!
Love it can't wait to see more like it
Thanks Andy 😁
Excellent tutorial 👍
This is amazing tutorial that really helps me to understand freecad, thanks so much
Oh Wow, Finaly a tutorial on FreeCAD that is easy to follow, presented really well and has a useful end result. I learnt more about FreeCAD in 26min than hours of other video's. You're now my first point of call for more FreeCAD. Thank You.
Thank you so much!! Great video!
Thank you for your time. The best video on free cad I have seen. You have taken the time to teach us what we need know to understand, with no BS. I will be sure to share this video.
Wow, thank you!
Great tutorial thank you for your time
"Like" in the first minute - for style alone :D
Oh, Man!!! thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you. You made it look like, it is super cool to learn Freecad. I landed on your page after watching many confusing Freecad tutorials. Your method of explaining is so good!!!!
This video gave me soooo much confidence! Thanks so much, I designed my first print tonight and its printing now on my p1p!
Wonderful! This is why I make these tutorials, so folks have the confidence to make their own designs. Brilliant! Thanks for the share. Keep going 😁👍👍👍
Excellent. Clear and helpful. Just the other day i was stumbling around it not knowing where to start.
Much appreciated. Cheers.
Well, I know I am a year late, but thank you very much for this great tutorial. I learnt more from this short video than I have in the last 3 days of playing with this programme. Excellent you have a new subscriber.
you are a master, thank you
Fantastic teaching and commentary, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I've been looking for a video like this for weeks. What a joy and relief to find it. All the other ones, talking, clicking away, no possibility of seeing what they were clicking on or where it was to be found. This one is so clear. Simply wonderful. Thanks so much for putting it out there.
Glad it was helpful! Many thanks. I've just done a similar video on Fusion 360 you may enjoy th-cam.com/video/lreS58lmkTs/w-d-xo.html
@ 19:04 great line. "..and I'm now looking at the rear from the proper angle. Something that always brings me pleasure." Just be careful. Looking at the rear too long could get you reported to HR. 😅
Freecad is the first cad program I've ever tried to use. I never imagined that it was so complicated to render what seems such a basic design. Following along step by step will help familiarize me with the different functions where I can finally design what I'm wanting to.
I really enjoyed this moment in the video. Had to stop learning for a good laugh!
Thanks a lot man, this was awesome - it helps me get enough gumption to start in freecad.
I’m new to freecad and printing but this is the best beginners Freecad that I have seen. Thank you.
Many thanks 😁
Wow, Outstanding, I am a total newbie, like 2 hrs old, I learned so much from this video. I loved drafting in High School, T squares plus 2H and 4H Pencils. This is great!
This is the best tutorial I've seen! I was able to follow along perfectly and when I encountered errors, I could see why (but usually didn't know why). I attempted to add fillets in all the edges. The program did NOT like that haha. With 3D printing becoming more and more popular, I think your tutorials will become incredibly handy for many people. I hope you consider making a freecad tutorial playlist in the future!
I love the side commentary you sneak in
Why wasn't this the first video recommended?? I guess one has to wade through the bad to appreciate the good. And this is excellent! I can't imagine a faster or more effective way to introduce FreeCAD. Many thanks!!
Yes man I’m always loving your projects , in the process of gathering everything I need to cast some figures and thanks for all the tips and motivation 🤟🤟good luck with everything
Glad to help
Absolutely fantastic, thank you!
You're very welcome!
Thanks so much for this
thank you very helpfull. yes a series would be nice for us beginers. i would like to see more time on the combo view screen , It seems thats the place to fix and repair
I have to say - your voice and style of narration match precisely to what I'd imagine the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy would sound like!
This tutorial is perfectly easy to follow, doesn't go off on long and unnecessary tangents, and explains everything quite clearly! Well done!
Now if only there were a concise tutorial on understanding and surviving Vogon poetry...
HA, I thought exactly the same thing about the HHG2G! Sort of a less-cheeky Stephen Fry vibe.
Woooww!!!
What an incredible way of teaching!
Really amazing!
Greetings from Brazil
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks again...
Glad I could help!
Finally I Understand freecad. Thanks
Many thanks. I've just done a similar video on Fusion 360 you may enjoy th-cam.com/video/lreS58lmkTs/w-d-xo.html
Thanks a lot! Perfect video
Thank you for providing an understandable totorial that isn't rushed to the point of being unable to conprehend what is happening. Also you made me realize that I needed to change my 2d scetch by 90 degrees. I think this will work better, for what I want to do, than Blender which has been driving my nuts trying to make 3d print files.
i had an issue for a bit that almost made me change software but i finnaly figured it out. it was while doing this tutorial. but after it was solved i was able to learn quite a lot thanku for the great vid
By far the best tutorial available, done at a good beginner pace, and had me creating my first 3D design, plus gave me the confidence on doing my own small project successfully.
Just wished you would have carried this series on and followed up with a beginner slicing tutorial as I just went to print my phone holder and it failed a third of the way through as I guess I need supports on the overhangs - doh!
Good video, well done.
i just trying this, wow!!! im new to cad and finding this very easy to follow. thank you for putting in the time to teach us!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank You VOG!
My pleasure!
Excellent video with just the right amount of tech for an intro. Please do more Freecad, your style of delivery is very effective.
Thanks John 😁
I came for the 3d printing but i'll sure as hell stay for this tutorial series! Thanks a lot I highly appreciate your work and fine sense of humour. Greetings from Austria
Thanks very much 😁😁😁
It's the best beginner tutorial indeed man! Thank you! Special thank you for covering constraints.
Many thanks 😁
Just ran across this tutorial, you have done a great job explaining and teaching. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Dean. I appreciate that. 😁
Woooow I love the presentation, best of the bes
Thank you so much 🤗
OMG! Thank you ,Vog
Any time!
Brilliant, thank you. i have just started using FreeCAD and this is really helpful.
Glad it was helpful! 😁
Been struggling to learn this software but got the phone holder drawn and printing it now thank you for the instruction keep up the great work you are doing.
Many thanks
Must of watched a dozen videos and not understood a word . Watched yours and it all fell into place . Thank you so much 👍
Thanks Mark 😁
Wow you have made the greatest tutorial video ever
Glad it helped
I'm only 4 minutes in as an absolute beginner in cad and loving the way you teach! Cause I'm a baby. Subscribed and thumbs up.
Welcome aboard!
Excellent. Thankyou.
Many thanks. I've just done a similar video on Fusion 360 you may enjoy th-cam.com/video/lreS58lmkTs/w-d-xo.html
Great! thanks
That T square drawing board clip .... took me back to 1978 in an instant!
For me it was "Technical Drawing" class at school. 😁
@@vogman same here all the way to O level when that was a thing
Glad your doing this tutorial! I down loaded FreeCAD 2 weeks ago and kinda gave up on learning it. I had watched a few tutorials from other TH-camrs, they were either going too fast (skipping functions) or to slow (exhaustively going over every function's detail). Your tutorial moves at the right speed for me. I can actually make something now. Thank you!
Thanks very much. Getting the pace right is difficult. There's so much to cover in fairness to others. I opted here to go with a "confidence booster" approach, giving practical skills without going into to much depth. Depth may come, if folks want it 😁
Thank you very much. This has been most helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial, thank you !
Many thanks 😁
Good Sir, This is an outstanding tutorial. I've been trying to wrap my mind around FreeCAD for days without any luck when your video showed up in my feed. The lesson was clear and the illustrations were spot on. With the right orientation, I too was also able to "look at the rear from the proper angle".
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Wonderful.
Now I can already. start toying around with the program to become able to construct according to my own ideas.
Thank you!
That's my goal... I'm glad it's worked for you 😁
Congratulations = This is one of the best FreeCad tuto i've ever seen = Thks and greetings from sunny south of France !
Thanks Romain. That's very kind of you to say 😁😁😁👍👍👍
Very nice tutorial. I need to download FreeCAD now and get started. Can't wait to see your next tutorials using FreeCAD. Keep them coming.
Awesome, thank you!
