Just so you know years later this video is still helping people in the 3d print community!
Add on another year, still helping!
and another here!
And well just 13 days
+1 one Year
Just helped me today!
Dude, what a good explanation. Plenty of average geeks know how to do a thing, but it takes real brilliance to articulate it well. Great job.
cant believe this doesnt have more likes, its to the point in detail without the BS
Thanks for this simple concise explanation of how this all works.
Earlier on in my learning about 3D printing I came across your video on Cura settings. Not only did it provide a great starting point but it helped me understand the reasoning behind the settings which was very useful going forward. So, looking for info on how to convert an SCAD file to something Fusion can use (so I could edit) I found this one. Watching this I now realize, whaddya know, no reason to import into Fusion at all, just follow your instruction on how to edit the parameters in OpenSCad. I love your approach/style, gets to the point quickly and clearly and lays groundwork for future use. Thanks!
Fantastic get you going info for complete noob like me. I’ve been printing for 3 years but only with STLs and Tinkercad, Thingiverse etc. SCAD files always scared me away, but this makes it easy. Thank you so much! Peter.
GREAT BEGINNER VIDEO ! I appreciate your lighthearted (but helpful) narration !
Good, clear, simple instructions. Just what you need.
Thank you, exact what I was looking for!
Brilliant explanation simple and slow ... keep up the great work
Thanks! I appreciate it!
omg thank you for this video. i just got into 3d printing and wanted so a custom name it was a scad file and well i went cross-eyed trying to figure out what to do. this helps so much!
Helena, thank you for your kind words. It really means something to me to know I've helped someone.
Thanks for the quick easy content I needed
awesome video! just what i needed being a 1st time user of openSCAD, so i thank you sir!
Thanks for this vid. Just what I needed.
Great video. Very simple to follow. Thank you so much.
Dude this video is great. He hit all the important topics with no BS added. Keep on making great videos like this Woodywong76.
Very good video. You explain the reasoning behind what you are doing. Easy to follow. Thank you.
Einwandfrei, alles was ich brauchte! Besten Dank.
Still helping people! :D Thanks so much!
dude, thank you. clear, concise.
Thank you man love your work
thx 4 sharing your skills... Big thumbs up!!!
thank you for a good how to! just helped me in 2021
Excellent video, and very helpful. Thank you for sharing.
Neat being able to cut and make some edits with the STL or gcode files. Just learned this in the last few days the different apps that allow for. PrusaSlicer you need to rotate since only allows for a Z-plane cut either upper or lower with adjustment of the Z value. Microsoft 3D Builder and Meshmixer also allow cutting in more ways like angles. Was wondering how can I get larger prints on the smaller MPSM V2 bed without extending or possibly to make the bed and other axis extension parts.
Dude, thank you. Exactly what I needed to know. You rock :D
Nicely done!
Cool, thanks!
thanks a lot for a good explanation
Thanks a lot mate.
Subscribed for on point instructions! more power good sir :)
Thank you so much. This made my day!
@@woodywong76 My pleasure man! you deserve it, btw do you have any tips in smoothing post printed PLA+ filaments? I have looked around but all are gibberish to acetone, polyurethane, epoxy ETC... without using sanding.. I'm a noob so highly appreciate your insight on post 3d printed stuff using (grey/silver) PLA+. Thanks again!
Me ha ayudado mucho. gracias
clear simple thanks
You are a life safer. Thank you!
thanks alot good tutorial
How are you getting that code screen on the left side? All I got is what's on your right side. On my Right is a grey area that says customizer but Idon't seee what I can change things. Change names on Christmas Ornaments.
Can't get any clearer than that! Thanks
Cool thanks man I learned something.. Peace
Great instructional video. Got me started. The web started throwing FreeCAD vs OpenSCAD... wait no, FreeCAD won't open .scad files, no, integrate OpenSCAD into FreeCAD, no no... use OpenSCAD then work it in FreeCAD. Nightmare by good techs, poor teachers. Fusion 360 should really integrate this. Again, great job, all the other videos/info were simply dead end confusing.
Cheers thanks!!
I'd love to learn how I can wrap a text around a round object. Somehow can't do it... Do you know a way? Thanks in advance :D
Hey:) I have a question. I have a scad file i want to edit but it includes all the parts of my print. I need to change only a few and take an stl of them. How do i do that?
If you know the parts of the code where the parts of interest reside, you can change just that part and comment out the rest of the code so that the it only renders the needed parts. Then export them as shown in the video.
Another way, might be to edit the part that you want to change. Export it all, then use a slicer program to split the files into individual parts (almost all slicers can do this now) and simply delete the stl parts that are not needed.
I hope this helps. If you still have troubles, hit me up and I might be able to offer more help.
@@woodywong76 Actually I would VERY appreciate if you could help me in this one print. www.thingiverse.com/thing:27205 I have printed this lock and it works amazing so i actually wanted to change the lock and key biting so i will have my unique key. I have tried to get it done for hours but couldn't understand how so i ran into your video. Hope you might understand it better :). You can also contact me by mail if you need. Just comment and I will leave it here.
@@woodywong76 In case you did not see my second comment so pop this up :)
it crashes ever single time i try to render what am i doing wrong??
Clear, and your enthusiasm is contagious. I'm the kinda guy always wants to help … but the only suggestion that comes to mind is to suggest sending me a 3D printer. (FAX is no good; email would work (if instructions to replicate are embedded).) 😊
Thanks muchly!
Its nuts to me that somebody knows how to read/write that code at the bottom and somehow it makes a button. The syntax is alien like to me. But changing the variables seems EZ enough.
