These are great. If you haven't done it already, you may want to link these videos over on the FreeCAD forum. Or, if you are uncomfortable with self-promotion, I would be happy to make a post that points people to your videos.
Thanks! I've only shared it to the Reddit and Facebook groups. I haven't thought about the forum, stupid me :). If you are willing to do it, of course it would be nicer not to have to self promote, thanks!
Hello again, as per your example drawing how would you process the square spigot if it was originally the same size of the stock. Can you have the milling cutter follow the shape the the square spigot (like a profile cut) starting from the outside of the stock a working it's way inwards with say a 5% step over at full depth till it machines the final size of the spigot. This would be useful for machine metals. cheers
@@opensourcecnc Hello, I gave it a try and it did work with a little playing around. I made a Hex shape and a Cam lobe shape both extruded from a square plate. Once again thanks for your help.
@AndreMonthy haven't heard of it or used it, but I'll take a look, if it's open source. Otherwise, it's outside the scope of my channel. Edit: Checked it, it has absolutely no 3D capability, only 2.5D, so don't see how it could handle 3D operations. Plus some text saying that current capabilities are free, but the professional upcoming ones will be based on subscription, worries me to the point where I don't even feel like trying it
The updated video using FreeCAD 1 CAM workbench:

Your content is gold !! Great channel !!
The cam/path is the best I’ve come across.. thanks man!!!
Awesome! Thank you!

You can use the adaptive operation. It's built exactly for that, even though it has some limitations (only round pattern)

These are great videos, very clear. Could you do more videos on the 3D paths
Thanks! I'm working on that exact same topic, but the operations are quite buggy so I'm currently trying to discover workarounds.
@@opensourcecnc I wonder if KiriMoto CAM would be better at 3D/curved CAM operations.

damn that sucks.
Not a problem, I'm working on doing it with FreeCAD and I'm almost there

Not sure if it was translated ok, but if you want to create hold down tags, see episode 6, the tag dressup, on my channel

Dziękuję bardzo za pomoc
Exelent work... please replace your mic
Thanks! I've already replaced it, I'm using a rode nt1 a now and it's a huge difference
