Amazing! Thank you for continuing to share your work with a very particularly passionate niche of the internet. Might not be for everyone, but for those whom it's for, we love it dearly. Good luck on the rest!
Was looking forward to this! Would like to get a hold of a file like this to dive deeper in your modelling decisions. Would be happy to pay too so maybe if you would be willing to share your files, a patreon or something similar would be a great idea. I know you go through it but when it comes to something as complex as this, going through at my own pace would be even better
Hi there, with most of my modelling exercises I make the files available for download via the description. There's a few that might interest you, a little less complex than this one though (retro hair dryer, power drill) ua-cam.com/play/PLqWNlz5iPnK-g8xhSPfiJ3qaFneoplmIU.html I've shyed away from something like Patreon, as I feel once people pay there is an expectation that I will be sharing new material on a regular basis. I do this around my client work and being self employed, my spare time is slightly variable! I've finally got my channel to be monetized so if anyone feels like they would like to pay something back, they can via supers. I plan on uploading this file once I have finished the exterior surfaces (as well as organising the file of course!) Cheers, AJ
I'm just working on the front buttons, I might post the next section after that is complete, so hopefully soon! Then the last vid will be small details/buttons/tweaking surfaces.
Hi there. That's a bezier curve, deg5 (6CVs) and I've only constrained the end points with dimensions. I've dragged the other CVs around but did not get around to constraining them. Cheers.
Please, how did you align the reference 3D scan. A workflow, I have in my head is to create new "primary" planes based on the geometry symmetry and prominent surfaces, then export with a new coordinate system based on this new "primary" planes, and then reimport... Would that work?
Hi there. I re-positioned and rotated the scan data to where I wanted it in Rhino. Much easier than in SW. Off the top of my head, what you mention should work though.
I am following the modeling using the 3D file you shared. Thank you very much. I think view of the sketch 126 was set separately. How did you set it up? Due to different sketch plane view settings, I could not passed at this stage. This part is not even shown in the video. I would really appreciate it if you could let me know.
Hi there. Sketch 126 uses Plane 40. Plane 40 references two points and is rotated via an angle reference. I have no control over how the view is oriented in 3D space, when looking normal to the sketch plane. Solidworks sets that based on the plane references. Plane 40 is directly above Sketch 126 in the feature tree, if you are using flat tree view, which it is in the model I made available online. The video is not a tutorial! It'd be hours long, that is not something I am interested in making. The model should suffice if you have an intermediate level understanding of Solidworks. Cheers.
King of surfacing. Also love hearing your manufacturing insights.
Thanks again for the topic!

Thanks! 100% agree with you about this being niche content :)
Superb work! I wish I had that when I started my ID journey 10 years ago.
Thanks!

A better solution and manner is to just ask for one more episode for it.

I agree with the above. I would easily pay 20$-30$ a month (patreon) or 100$ lump sum if it means I could get access to the files. Great work!
This is quite the challenge, any idea when the next section will be released?! Great work and good luck!

Great video! Question on the '3DSketch2-sidePartLine'. How are you making that style spline?

Brilliant!
Cheers Tony, hope you're all good!
@@AndrewJacksonDesignStudio Busy days Andrew! All good and hope you are too!
Yep, still ticking over :)
God surfacing…
