This is the first video of yours I have come across after viewing many other beginner videos for learning 3d modelling . Your explanation and speed of information is perfect for keeping the viewer engaged. Very helpful 👍
Hi. Your way to explain things is SUPERB !. A real teacher couldn't do better. Please, keeping this way. This world needs more Professors like you, Sir !. Many greatings from Santiago de Chile, South America. This is John. Cheers !.
Some suggestions to improve your visuals would be to increase the icon , line and point sizes in FreeCAD preferences and maybe try different workspace themes that might improve visibility
Thank's for Sharing this Build Video using Freecad... I just learned...😊 I Subbed too and will be following your videos as I venture through the program. ✌🤠👍 HFLPRCing =Having Fun Laughing Playing and RCing 👍😎👍 AOAH =Association of Addicted Hobbiest 🙏 SSPH =Stay Safe and Play Healthy 🌟 Blessings from the Great Smoky Mountains East Tennessee
Nice introduction tutorial, but I think the first two big fillets (10mm) you added around 10:55, it should be a sketch element not a fillet to be honest, especially in FreeCAD.
Your description made what appeared to me a very difficult drawing to reproduce very easy to duplicate. Your presentation is a solid 5 stars. I especially liked how your paused on each toolbar icon so that I could also find it. The only issue that I had was with the way UA-cam displays your title at the top of the video. The title hides part of the top icon toolbar. Maybe there is a way to turn that off but I never looked.
I just installed FreeCad and I want to work through this tutorial but right off, I do not have that window in Sketcher that you have, showing the constraint settings, around 1:52. Nor am I able to figure out how to enable it. Any suggestions?
You are making excellent tutorial videos, however the FreeCAD software itself is complicated to use to my point of view, there are too many clicks around the page to get one job done, example: to extrude, wouldn’t it be easier to just click-n-drag followed by a pop up window to enter the required extrude value, rather than having to select the extrude tool, select the behavior … the software development team should think outside the box
Having to manually add the existing geometry of the object to the sketch for reference is a really tedious mistake. Most other CAD programs will do it automatically when you initialize the sketch by selecting that geometry because needing that geometry in the sketch is often why you selected that face. They keep saying this is supposed to be 1.0, but I'm not feeling it. There comes a time in the lifecycle of every open source project where you have to stop appeasing your early adopters by preserving the Janky-ness that they've become accustomed to (mostly for fear of losing them), and start focusing on why no one but them will use the software. Breaking out of that fear is what finally made Blender absolutely EXPLODE.
I keep struggling to learn FreeCAD even for simple objects like this. A major problem with FreeCAD is the poor user interface. But the need to do things manually - like creating reference geometry - is a hurdle for new users and users coming from other systems.
For some reason when I try to add filled around circle on top, freecad becomes so slow, it becomes unusable.. It also creates holes that shouldn't exist - it removes the half-circle arc.I suspect TNP as I modeled before watching videos and too lazy to check.
@@ampervadasz82 I stand corrected, It would indeed require 2 sketches because i did not take into consideration the holes in the bottom plate. However there still is a room for simplification. 1) Sketch 3 rectangles according to the part design from the front 2) add an arc to create that round portion 3) trim overlaping and unnecesary edges (you might have to split some edges as well) 4) Select edges and pad (You will repeat this 3 times for every portion with different padding) 5) create holes in the bottom plate and add fillets as needed

One of the best tuts I have ever seen.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
I love your instruction Will probably be supporting your work Soon

Very well done. I like your drawing style.
Thank you!
Great tutorial. Thank you
Very good and very helpfull, and my freecad did excatly like yours for a change THANKS, hope to se many more videos from you
Very very very nice video pls continue and thanks so much

So great sir
Thank you!
So perfect sir

hi. can you show your all programm settings?.

Your freecad window looks completely different from mine. I have no constraints window at all.

You have to select from the 'Model tree' the last operation before applying the 'Fillet tool'. Mayne you have selected only a face...
There is a lot easier way to do it, with a single sketch.
How? Maybe from 2, but i can't see how could do it from one sketch.
