Great video I thought about how I would do it before watching and was almost right. I was thinking rough out the whole shape including the three pockets to start but then I would not be able to make use of the linear pattern. So must remember to look for that in future. Thanks for the tips! I dont mind longer videos its more info for us to learn.
Thanks great tutorial. The one thing that didn't work was that linear alignment at the 26 min mark but otherwise learn a lot. looking forward to more of your videos.
Thank you for this turorial series. I'm a retired mechanical engineer who used Creo for work, and just now getting back to designing for 3D printing as a hobby. I am using Rev. 1.0 official release. The one area that I could not get to work is scketching a pocket on the XZ plane and the offsetting the sketch plane. I could not get the Placement Position dimention to change. I ended up sketching on the face then mirroring the pocket.
That's curious. You should be able to simply change the attachment location. - A thought! - double check which parameters you are changing, there are two that are similar one is placement (you can't change this) the other is attachment. You should be changing the attachment.
Would you be able to provide a dimensioned drawing for your models so we can print it out or have it available on screen as we try to draw our attempt? I am thinking a tech drawing taken off your model rather than a hand sketch. Thanks
Yes, you can do that. But it is possible that the topligical naming issue could be problem then. If you are linking to a face you could just use that face to attach the sketch to.
You can model without fully constrained sketches, the only danger is that something gets modified without the constraint in place. It's good practice to constrain the sketches.
I'm loving this back-to-basics series. Just joined you on ko-fi. Can't wait until the next one.
Thanks for the support!
4th of the series an now I am getting a hang if FreeCAD from complete beginner. Thanks!
That's great to hear! Keep practicing.

Thanks for the feedback. I am glad you thought about it ahead of time.
Excellent video. Very clearly done. Look so easy when You know how to do it.
Thanks, I think the book makes it pretty simple.
@@Adventuresincreation book? You made a book?
@kjn4819 I have published a couple of books, the first was a childrens book, Maurice find his meow! and the second is Python for beginners.
@@Adventuresincreation Nice, Thank You or sharing.
Nice Video, Once again! Thank you for your efforts.
You are welcome 😉
Greate video trying to learn cad for 3d printing thank you so much
i also now just hear the word Sketchhhh in my head the way u said it lol
I 3D print stuff all the time. I am currently printing some stands for some laser cut wooden items and a mount for an outside solar light.
@@Adventuresincreation what kidn of 3d printer do you currently use?
@@Kosm0Doc I have 2 printers the main one is an Ender3 V2 Neo the other is Entina Tina2 Plus
Great video TY
Thanks!
very nice work
Thank you
This is going to need to be watched a few more times for me. Thanks for that. Nice Job , is that a closet rod holder with some additional hooks?
It's for a surround on door blinds.

@@Adventuresincreation Thank you so much! You were right. There is a "Position" under "Placement" as well as under "Attachment Offset".
How would you 3D print that model? Great video, thanks for sharing.
I have printed it on its side with support
Great stuff , once again , but I wonder how many hours it will take me to get it done lol
I am planning to expand on that with a spreadsheet in the next video.

Yep, I can do that, might be a good video
So that was pretty cool...How do you calculate the offset?
Which offset are you referring to?
@@Adventuresincreation in general what its for, 34:52 has it being used for the triangles
Is it possible to create a plane from/on a model face.?
Thanks
Yes, you can do that. But it is possible that the topligical naming issue could be problem then. If you are linking to a face you could just use that face to attach the sketch to.
What is the need to have fully constrained sketches?
You can model without fully constrained sketches, the only danger is that something gets modified without the constraint in place. It's good practice to constrain the sketches.
