This is sick. i remember doing this via facebinding and i'm glad we're doing this from inkscape to the print. A solid video would be showing a way to separate models for printing in different colors, utilizing the slicer features
Thanks, Ian! Great video, my first exposure to the process you used, I will be working this into my process, and looking forward to seeing your solution of lighting. In my situation, I am designing to use a "rope" type neon LED light. I have not found very much variety available here in Mexico so far. I am curious to see your process. From my perspective a longer video is not a problem, I do understand your point though.
Thanks Rodney, I know you appreciate the longer videos but I can produce shorter ones much faster. I have also used the led strips they cost around $6 here.
this is an awesome video thanks. but im having a bit of trouble with lamp project im working on ive tried so many ways and im at a road block and i was wondering if you con help me out. i want to do the same concept but instead of extruding im trying to cutaway i have no problem with lettering with shapestring but when i try designs i crash the program. what im trying to 3d print a lamp base with a design in it so the light will shine through the design kinda like a litho concept but just like outlines and stuff
@@unwholesam5186 Thanks, can you get the file to me so I can see what's happening. It is very odd if you are selecting the whole sketch that it would only pad a part of the sketch. Is some of the sketch drawn in construction lines?
@@Adventuresincreation it all turned out to be a bug. I was working on freecad on linux with the appimage version, then I installed it on the system via Flatpack and now it works fine.
@@Adventuresincreation it would be wonderful if you could show us how to make text along a curve or circle directly in freecad. thanks for your answer.
You can make longer videos, just don't make them silent movies! Thanks for the videos long or not long. There is a channel that regularly makes 30-40 minute videos for beginners that have no sound. I tried to watch one to learn about a cool new workbench, but I could not make it 3 minutes in. No set up, no name of the tool, no why, no tool-tip bubbles, nothing but silence and fast building.
Thanks! Just what i needed
Glad it helped.
I watched the last hour long video twice. Once straight through, and once step by step as I drew it myself! Then I 3D printed it!
Excellent, I am glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Thanks!
Thank you!

Good idea, I might do that with the LED sign follow up

Can you get your freecad file and a picture of what you want to me?
@@Adventuresincreation yes do you have an email or somewhere i can send the files to you?
Thanks for the tutorial, but for some reason when I go to pad, only part of my sketch is padding, any idea on why that might be happening?
Are you selecting the sketch in the model tree? Is there an open wire in your sketch?
@@Adventuresincreation i am selecting the entire sketch from the model tree, and going through everything, i was not able to find an open wire

thanks. great video. but i am having some isues. When i import my svg to freecad 1.0 it doesnt import anything. what can i be doing wrong?
If you open the svg inkscape does it look OK? Did you turn off transparency? Did you save it as a plain SVG?

@@UNOCASTILLO Good that you discovered it!
@@UNOCASTILLO Sure, I can take a look at that. I usually make my text along an arc in Inkscape ;-)

No silent movies here
