FreeCAD 0.20 For Beginners | 2 | Create a simple model and export to STL in Part Design

preview_player
Показать описание
Welcome to part 2 of the new total beginners course to FreeCAD 0.20. In this lesson we will teach you a basic part design workflow and go through the fundamentals of using the sketcher to create sketches that are fully constrained. We will then use these sketches to pad and pocket the model to create our object. We will then learn how to export this out in STL format for 3D Printing or loading into another application such as blender.

In this course we teach the fundamentals of freeCAD using the basics but delivering via teaching you different workflows.

In one lesson you may be learning how to sketch and build a model but will also be following a workflow that will take through the part design workbench all the way to exporting it out in STL format. In another lesson you may be learning how to model in the part workbench to see the differences between it and the part workbench but you will be following a workflow that will allow you to create 2D plans of your model to laser / paper cut.

We aim to teach you freeCAD in a practical way.

Thank goodness someone can explain FreeCAD so clearly. Your time and effort are very much appreciated. Thank you.

You have done the world a huge favour and shown how accessible FreeCAD is. Great instruction!

A new-user tip for the "Select" tool: If you create the box from left to right, you'll only select the items that completely fit inside your selection box. But if you go right-to-left, you'll select every item that touches/intersects with the selection box. (This is common in CAD software, and FreeCAD is no exception).

Definitely THE BEST tutorial. He speaks loud, slow and clear. He tells you EVERY single movement he makes. I'm going to be busy watching these tutorials for a while after I get through them!!!!

Super helpful. I was getting very frustrated with FreeCAD and trying to manage all the bodies, pads, and sketches I was creating and trying to merge through boolean operations and this tutorial was exactly what I needed: clearly explained and demonstrated. Perfect!

very good. I have used many CAD systems dating from the 80s till now (CADAM, ProEngineer, Solidworks, SurfaceCAM, MasterCAM, etc). It has been about 15 years since I've done any CAD work at all and boy have things progressed! What FreeCAD offers for free used to cost $60K a license in the 90s. I'm getting back into it because my wife bought me a 3D printer :) . However, I didn't find FreeCad all that intuitive to use because of the jumping back and forth between "workbenches". Your videos are extremely helpful.

Fantastic video! Im so glad I found your channel, as Im learning CAD to replicate automotive parts that have been discontinued for decades. Your series is invaluable and people like you are what keeps the world moving forward!

I love your unique style of making tutorials, where you anticipate a natural reaction of an intelligent learner. He would often have a "second track" running in his mind, asking if this is the only way to do it, or what if he did it in a different way, or why he should be doing this step at all, etc.

Most people make tutorial with a linear narration, where a model is created without any trouble.
But when the learner tries it himself, even with a small variation, he gets stuck.

But in your way of teaching, many of the _"what if-"_ scenarios are covered, so the learner becomes more confident in trying out different things, and yet he is able to predict what will happen.


Even the *Comments* section is full of learning, where many learners have raised pertinent doubts and you have provided solutions.

That's what makes it my favorite channel!

Please keep up the good work! 👍

Thank you so much, I took a 3d cad class twenty-plus years ago, but we learned Microstation. I received a new laptop and 3d printer from my wife for my birthday and started playing around with FreeCAD, but I was lost until I found your channel, you are a natural teacher, and I feel I will now get the most out of my printer by watching all of your tutorials. Thanks again.

These tutorials are great!

As a machinist I'll say one thing though: Only apply fillets and chamfers to the model if they're functional or cosmetic. If you only want sharp edges broken by, say, a 0.2mm chamfer, just call it out in the drawing :) Some CAM programs deal best with deburring on sharp model edges.

Thanks for making this, it was helpful! One constructive criticism, as a first-time FreeCAD user I found the parts where you would do the same thing multiple ways, going back and forth, doing something and then undoing it, to be hard to follow. For my personal learning style, I would prefer just following along a single forward-moving path, once I have become comfortable with one way to do it, then I am more able to absorb multiple ways... I am not able to easily absorb a lot of info without having a context to place it in.

Love your tutorials! You make it so easy to follow along, thank you.

As an "old man" getting back into modeling, these videos have become essential for me to grasp the power of FreeCad. A well done instruction and makes it easy to follow. I like the examples of the many "underlying" tools and methods that FreeCad has to help simplify in creating things from Sketcher to Part Design. Thank you!!

I'm not even finished the video but already (as a newbie) I can say what a fantastic tutorial this is. While I pause the vid and let the info sink in, it's time to say "thanks" in these comments. Well done.

Great video and very clear narration, spoken at the right speed. I got caught out following this a few times with the precise steps that must be followed for External Geometry to apply to the top surface as the default is the bottom surface. Only until I realised the surface has to be selected first before starting a new sketch, so the sketch then applies only to that surface. Making a new save after every step saved a lot of time, when things stopped working, which they constantly do.

It was worth taking the time to revisit the basics of Freecad, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I have been using Freecad for more than a year now, but I have just discovered that I was multiplying the constraints and other actions in an almost abusive way.

This is incredible content. Thank you for taking the time to create.

Mango, you are a legend! Thank you for doing these videos. Just the consideration of communicating basic mouse commands is very helpful. Thank you mate!
