    5 minutes into this and you solved the biggest issue this old guy was having with "ANY" cad program while trying to learn this new hobby. How to keep x, y and z straight in my head. Right thumb-x, index finger-y and middle finger-z. Many, many thanks! I owe you a beer. :)

    Thank you for this. I am just starting out with 3d printing and was getting frustrated. Your videos helped a bunch, and THANK YOU for introducing OpenSCAD to me. It is so much more natural for me to write out code.

      Thanks for the nice words! Yeah... some things are just simpler to do by writing a program to do it for you. :-D

    Thank you for this tutorial. I went through all your lessons and they are very clear and understandable. I subscribed to your channel. Now my dream is to have a basement like yours :)

    Good job! Excellent tutorial series. I am just now done watching it, and feel now ready to use OpenSCAD.

    I was wondering if you can make 3D models for KiCad using OpenSCAD, I sent you a link to FreeCad since it has a plugin for KiCad.

      I have never tried it. But this page talks about exporting .scad files into .wrl files for use in KiCad... by way of FreeCad: ohm.bu.edu/trac/edf/wiki/KiCad%203D%20Models
      I am not sure how to go directly from .scad to .stp or .wrl.

      @@JohnsBasement I could not find a way, and I like Blender and think it can also be used, but have not tried it, but plan to, since I like using them, it would make a great video for you if you have an interest in it, it has a Python interface, I am a C programmer from the '60s, Retired Military, getting back into KiCad from versions before 1, so I thought if anyone would know you might since I did not find a solution that did not include more than one program I would have to write, I wanted an Open Source cross-platform app, and Blender can import and export to FreeCad which has a KiCad plugin built-in, but needs to be enabled, this means 3 Open-Source cross-platform apps to use, and start off with Components you would like to see and use. Blender is not required since FreeCad does it all, but Blender adds something else you might like to use, you can import your board and use it in Blender to make a video as well as other things like Physics Simulations, not Spice, but that would be great to a video on also, talking about good videos to do, KiCad Nightly Builds Pros and Cons, I am a Nightly person and get that warning new version every day, how do I disable that.
