Lol, so your the second person to say that, the other is one of my patreons lol. I think I am beginning to read minds. Better go off to do the lottery !! :) Glad your enjoying all these videos
@@MangoJellySolutionsSpot on 👍. I find freecad great for doing parts, but once I go to assemble them, I just lose interest. A2+ was ok, but since the last FC update, its pretty much not working. So I too was thinking of going back to A4, to try that again. In fact, just now I am doing practice model of a rail wagon from old drawings I downloaded. FC great for sketching parts on images, but for assembly I am just exporting to solidworks to assemble there, cos it works. But, I will keep doing the parts in FC for assembly in FC once I find an easier way.
I used this after watching your , Part or Part Design video. I used this method on a concave model that I wanted slots on each end. I needed to do this to get a pocket in Part Design.
Glad you think so, thank you :) Regards to modelling from the real world, oh very much so (and more so). Already some done and ready to go including the return of the CAD thinking videos :)
i ordered a 3d printer and its in the mail, i have so much to learn in order to start 3d printing, i was hoping it was going to be much easier than this.
Don't get down hearted. CAD and 3D printing has a steep learning curve especially when you get into filament temperatures, flow rates etc. But you just need to get the very basics down and to produce half decent quality prints. CAD has it's own learning curve but take it slowly and you will get there one small project at a time. The 3D printing and CAD world is huge and you can't learn everything at once, take your time and have some fun, don't worry about failings, that's how we learn. The first time I tried to 3D print something I took half a day just trying to level the bed, just couldn't get it right, and then i couldn't get the prints to stick. You will get frustrated and upset but just stick in there and you will crack it :)
@@MangoJellySolutions thank you for the reply, what i am hoping to print i feel is the more advance side of things! i am hoping to fit an array in the model i am hoping to build so it needs to have perfect fitting sizes i have to make over 100 perfect holes in what i am hoping to build. so this is down to the exact MM that would need to be perfect i have been designing something for over 20 years of my life and the only way i am able to build now i feel is with a 3D printer. i honestly feel if i am correct with what i am doing, in layman terms it will reinvent the wheel. if i am correct i can't even start to imagine. i ordered a 3d printer that has 420mm x 420mm x 420mm printable space it is currently in the mail, but i feel it may take up to 6 months before i can turn my design into reality i feel if i am correct with what i hope to build, the sky isn't the limit the honest to god universe will be!
Haha! It's funny - i was looking for just this last night! :-) Thanks for helping SO many FreeCAD enthusiasts!

Hi Darren. I enjoy your blend/mixture of "tut-bites" and in depth tutorials, I also find your PDF's on your site very useful.
Glad you're enjoying and great to see the pdfs are of interest. Thanks for the feedback 😊
Your Assembly 4 tutorial are the best I have seen. Would it be possible to have Assembly 4 tutorials?
Thank you :) I was only think that I haven't done any assembly tutorials for a while. Time to make some more!

Well, then I realized if I just move the sketch origin away from the model it worked.
Very helpful, once again thank you Darren.
Very welcome :)
These tips are proving to be essential! Fantastic Mango! Are you going to model anything else from the real world to 3d? If so, I look forward to it!

If you are keen, with Darren's help you will get there. Go back to his earlier video's. If it wasn't for these video's I would of given up months ago.
I bought my 3D printer about two years ago and, thanks to Darren's Freecad tutorials, I am still enjoying using it for engineering experiments.

Thank you so much. 🙂
Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
this is so difficult so much to so is there a easier cad for beginners.
More Tutorials Please
I will keep them coming, have new ideas all the time
Thanks for your response. Looking forward to your new assembly 4 tutorials. Regards
👍
