CAD Sketcker 3D Print Design Workflow | Blender 3.2 + | Ender-3 S1

Showing you how I use CAD Sketcher and blender precision modeling to design a practical 3D Print. I go over my workflow to come up with 3D print designs and with guide you through my 3d printing results.

This is definitely how i do my problem solving
STARE AT THE PROBLEM
until a solution comes up

Really awesome.
Blender + CAD Sketcher = Everything 👌

[JamieHamelSmith]

Those snaps on the sides are really nice.

I obsessed over errors in 3D toolbox for longer than I had taken to do my model (sculpt based, organic). In the end I gave up and Prusa slicer software didn't complain once and it printed on my Ender 3v2 without issue 🥳

[bethklass]

This was great. I would love to see more use case + solution using Blender videos!

[CMoDZD]

really wish 3d printers where affordable being able to do this stuff would be so fun

[kegabutankuexwayzet]

Please reply, and please make tutorial for plan house or building, and how to save file to pdf plan house

[anbujacid]

hi can you please help me to install the CAD Sketcher in MAC

[AnthonyAragues]

excellent video! Love that it goes from concept to completed product.
if it's worthy of another iteration might do some sort of flexible cable saver on the ends.
CAD sketcher is looking good.
in 3D printing workflows, especially when proving CAD sketcher might be good to show use of 3d print toolbox check to show it created a viable model

[ushubushu]

Very inspiring! Cool stuff 😎 Thank you!

[ahsankhan-ncwd]

can it be like in fusion 360 or solid work in future ?

[TreeLuvBurdpu]

I'm really trying to figure out what you mean by the 90° angle change, and how the 45° slice solved that. Apparently there is something important that I don't know about 3d printing.

Hello @Maker Tales, unrelated to this video subject but, is there a good tool in addition to this addon to easily create assembly/part relationships between pieces for larger builds? I'm from the CAD world and I would like to build parts by part and then add it to my larger "assembly". Is there a good way to achieve this or can this be done already? How about mating pieces together, will there be functionality for this as well?

If you have a roadmap for your project I would be interested to see that!

[ZeroDean]

The only issue I have while watching this is you said it kept breaking but you didn't explain how. So as a viewer, I don't know exactly what problem you are trying to solve. Still watching... Maybe you explain further and it becomes obvious. But next time, maybe show/explain the problem visually and clearly. 😊

[KrisNobels]

1 idea or question ... is it possible to take a picture on top from object and import it in Blender.
If you have things that are hard to measure you can use the picture as reference.
Is this possible to work like this combined with CAD sketcher. (picture on each side?)

How to create a hexagonal shape with a specific diameter?

[gilles]

Awesome video but just so u know, the title has a typo 😅

I tried like every bigger free (for "makers") CADs that is out right now and are at all promising in the previos weeks. My conculsion: The Only good ones are Fusion360 (1st place) and Onshape (2nd place). Then there is like an gap of nothing that comes even close to both.

And after all that gab of nothing close to F360 and OS there is the mix of other Free for makers CADs and Open Source stuff.

Salome Shaper: quite unintuitive but at least it feels quick and variables are easy to use. Of all free CADs this looked liek the most promising one but still is note even in the same league as F360 or OS.

Siemens Solid Edge: is like clunky as F. The UI is slow and sluggish, every little action feels like 10 independent modules that somewhat work together. Using variables is unneccesarry complicated (way to many clicks requierd)

FreeCad: Every UI Style Sheet that is not the 2003 looking stock one, is either bugged or has some huge usability flaws. Using it is extremely counterintuitive, everything is laborious and feels like you have to make 5-10 clicks more than neccessary. Variables are super tortuous to use. Software ergonomics: none.



And then there is Blender with CAD Sketecher. It is way to early in development to use that propberly for making stuff. It is like an very early technical preview. It does not have Variables at all. BUT it is the only Open Source one, where thanks to using Blender as a base, the UI is modern and it is somewhat intuitive to use. Right now it is nothing to build parts with but on the complete horizon of free/open projects, I think the CAD Sketecher Addon could be THE one big Open Source CAD in a few years if development continues good. It has promising potential, whereas FreeCAD is like build to lead you into an blind alley of frustration.




I really hope that the project becomes bigger and that CAD Sketcher will be an alternative to Fusion 360 and Onshape! But the way ahead is long.

Man Blender conference talk would be cool....thx

[musicforsleep]

Does it also have assembly functionality?
