Thank you for the inspirations, you build the bridge to freeCad for "art features" which could be made easy in blender, but there with limited parametric CAD features.
Wonderful Videos! I love your tempo and detail - very effective teaching! How did you get a "Dark Mode" in your FreeCAD UI? Did you edit each workbench's colour settings individually? It's very difficult to visually follow your steps because my interface looks so very different from yours.
FreeCAD is like Blender. Amazingly powerful and about as friendly as a rabid dog. I wonder if they will ever be able to do what the Blender foundation (finally) got around to and improve that hideous interface?
In a 40 hour work week you spend one hour making the part and 39 hours fighting the program and finding workarounds. Ridiculous. I just paid the money for Shapr3D, screw this.
I've tried every knurling tutorial on TH-cam. Can you please explain why this is not working for me? I'm trying to make a knurled SMA thumb screw for all of my antenna for my FPV radio, & FPV drones. the issue I'm having is after making the sketch with the knurled feature, when i click subtractive or additive helix, I get an error that "wire is not closed" or that "the linked shape box is empty". The only difference between my part is that it has the 7.9mm(flat-to-flat) hex hole in the center. I know that I can get this design off of thingiverse or equivalent but I want to know how to do this so I can add knurled features to other parts in the future. Thanks in advance,
That sounds like the error that would occur on the sketch level. Likely, there is a piece of the sketch that is set to construction geometry, or there is an extra sketch element somewhere. Feel free to email me the part and the name of the feature/sketch your having trouble with if you'd like a second set of eyes.
I could have never imagined that I would be so fast in dividing 2.54 in so many ways. Courtesy of welding videos and CAD... To bad, they don't use "elbows" anymore :)
Thanks, I’m new to FreeCAD and has limited 3D cad knowledge, so your videos help a lot🙏
This was definitely helpful. I have a plain that I need to sweep out grooves for wires. Thx

Keep wondering why you aren't using the polygon sketch tool to make your triangles? Just seems like that would be faster.

@@JokoEngineeringhelp Thanks!
I looked there many times and just couldn't find it!
MUCH better now :)
@@Man0f5cience Glad to help, keep up the good work

Great. Thanks. Jim

Have you heard of a button in part design while editing sketch "View section"?
Yes I use it all the time, but these were such simple sketches it didn't seem like it was needed
Knurly dude
guess it only works with the freecad stable version. Linkstage and freecad daily gives errors and crashes.
I cannot get this to work on my computer. I'm using a circle as a cutting tool.
Feel free to email me the model if you need a second set of eyes
@@JokoEngineeringhelp Thanks!
Whoever uses inch to measure should also speak Latin 😂
All that has already outlived its usefulness.

Where would the Système International (International System of Units) be without Latin and Greek?
You make good tutorials, but in this one I did not understand anything you said. :(
