I have learned solid works in university ages ago and not used it since. Following this is hard since you are very fast. The extrude did some crazy things for me, but your explanation helped me to fix it quickly. In the end I managed to get everything working and I am getting back into CAD thanks to this. So THANK YOU!
I have been getting back into SolidWorks modeling & RC Planes making so I thought I would look into getting a 3D printer. I stumbled across your series (watched it all) and I have to say you come across as a professional user but you seem to miss out on a lot of basic modeling techniques, I can kinda tell that you are self-taught like I was and you kinda learned on-the-go whatever your model required and I think that's awesome, but I so you struggle with some sketches and features that for once were not caused by SolidWorks' bugs & shortcomings. At some point I recommend looking up tutorials (even if it was for Fusion 360) which you can pick very good practices from; like I did from your video with the Cura custom infill. Hit up if you need me to point you to some good ones.
Hi Can you tell me please what I am doing wrong? I got files from thingerverse of a wing part and put it to cura and scaled it as it was a bit too big and put preview and it was not printing the outside skin only the inside when I reset scale it was printing everything.
Thanks for your video. It helped me get started with Solidworks. I have a question however - I drew a similar test wing section with the same dimensions and internal structure, however in Cura, my print times were at more than double what you had - Would you mind sharing your Cura profiles? The link you provided does not work for me. Thanks. D.
hi very Interesting tutorial. but can you provide me some tips using prusa slicer (or slic3r). i'm not be able to get the same result with this slicer.
Thanks, unfortunately I haven't managed to work out how to use prusa slicer for this way of modelling. I'm using a mk3s and the cura printer/filament profiles available straight from prusa which work fine. I'm still looking at a reliable way to model for prusa slicer as that would be preferred to me, but the added complexity of modelling and extra time it takes currently isn't worth the trade off.
Very neat video, loads of rapid info, actually like that. However, not able to import data into Solidworks Program. Watched video about 5 times at least and duplicated steps without luck. I entered manually more than half the points and then I got a warning that my session was ending in 5 minutes. I got kicked out and lost all data points. Solidworks didn't say up front that there was a time limit on the trial. Thought you might get a chuckle out of this. Unfortunately, not much for me. I am looking into purchasing the software. Do you still use it or did you find something better?
Thanks, I'm not a huge fan of Solidworks and actually prefer Autodesk Inventor however its what I have to use daily for Uni/Work. Haha, one of the reasons I'm not a fan, plus they update how some tools work (like the offset tool) without warning
Easiest way to ensure that my cookies don't show through on the video, You know when you get those drop downs for things previously entered? Saves that in editing

So THANK YOU!
That Cura Trick in the end was great, thanks for that!
Why didn't you just do a combine or intersect with your wing in SW? Way simpler and you aren't reliant on slicer settings....
Any tutorials about this on fusion360?

Great trick with the infill structure! Thank's!
Amazing! Great tutorials!
Is this possible with like tinker and or other things?
can make a tutorial to make a wing like a10 warthog a wing whit a diedro?
amazing tutorials!

The cura configuration file was not found.
Interesting. I use an easy way whith the same softwares.

hello can you re-upload your profile cura please, its outdated. thank you
I am your 998 and 999th like on this video.
Wait isn't this what Tom Stanton did?
No ones gonna comment the fact he was in incognito mode😅
