@@sarahb.8186 Haven't been able to make it yet, because you cannot use multiple rails for one Sweep/Pipe command in FreeCAD, that annoys me a lot at the moment..
1496.283 in OnShape. 1 gram too low, but within specified tolerance. (I wonder if using loft in OnShape gives a slightly different result than using sweep in SW?) I struggled with the loft (sweep doesn't work), trying path, then guides. I need to study and understand lofts better. Drawing the upper profile was particularly challenging, as I kept getting errors on the loft (path not intersecting the profiles); I eventually deleted the upper profile sketch, its plane and started over from there. Then the loft worked. Whew! I didn't time this one--it wasn't going to set any speed records; I'm just glad I finally got it.
The mass is 1501.03g with Solidworks it made me some attempts to use loft feature but it didn't work after that I changed to use boundary feature with bottom and top ellipse section while the two curve lines are the boundary ones. But I think the deviation amongst the results due to using the feature to create the elliptical profile!
yeah for that one maybe the tolerance should be a little larger, to account for different modeling techniques. I'll see if I can make a SOLIDWORKS tutorial for that one soon.
Awww yeah! Although if I remember correctly onshape doesn't have SWEEP with multiple guide curves - so I think you have to do this one as a LOFT with 2 profiles and 2 guide curves. But I'll make a tutorial for this one soon!
@@TooTallToby I sorted allready this dude but man Onshape is miles away from solid works in sweeps and all this fancy shapes 😂 tricky thing on this model is this tangecy even if you did loft elipse but plain will be straight you will be missing arroung 5g key is make a plan exacly where tangcency points are and from there draw 18mm elipse. Good lesson 😉
To sweep the elliptical profile sketch the guide curves first. then draw the ellipse, then use pierce relation to intersect the guide curves, then add 18 mm minor axis dimension to the ellipse. now use the sweep command. use ellipse as profile and smaller lower curve as path and upper curve as guide curve. This technique worked for me. Thanks
Time: 12:09, 1497.04, took me a few tries to do the sweep, but figured it out. Fun little puzzle. Solid works 2022 is my Jam.
Awesome job Tom! Sweep with guide curve is SO HELPFUL!
Took me about an hour. First challenge I’ve tried and I’m still learning cad and onshape. Very helpful practice.
Very nice!! I'll make a tutorial for this one soon!
Thanks!
Oh DANG!! ThaNKS so much TOM for the SUPER THANKS!!! Very much appreciated!!
this one needs a solidworks tutorial!
Just made it, 1.496 kg with Onshape.
It was a nice challenge, thank you very much! :)
Awww yeah well done!

would like to see a freecad video about this from you .. the elliptic thingy drive me nutz 🙂

Hey Tobby can you make sweep tutorial ? 😅 I went completly wrong on this elipse sweep
Sure - What CAD system?
@TooTallToby onshape

@@TooTallToby Right so propably thats why when I choose sweep path on 2 lines them go red and shiw error

Solidworks can create a fully defined 2D drawing from a 3D model. But - it can't derive a 3D model from a fully defined 2D Drawing. Or am I mistaken?
I find 1472.93 with Solidworks. I believe the loft gives wrong result. :(
I now have done it with guided sweep but I still manage to got 1492 grams.
1,497 g. Done in 6 min. Dragos
Very nice!!
WHILE USING SWEEP IN SW : GUIDE CURVE IS NOT VALID , DOES NOT INTERSECT THE SECTION PLANE .
To sweep the elliptical profile sketch the guide curves first. then draw the ellipse, then use pierce relation to intersect the guide curves, then add 18 mm minor axis dimension to the ellipse. now use the sweep command. use ellipse as profile and smaller lower curve as path and upper curve as guide curve. This technique worked for me. Thanks
i dont have have the 7800/kg m^3 i just got the 7850 so my mass is 1.526 kg
Nice - What CAD system?
1500g for me in solidworks.
nice job!
