thanks James, love to hear what else you'd like to see?

@@FullyDefined-Design can you make video on co ordinate system indepth like why do we re orient a stl file Indetail it will be helpful for me

@@jamesbaskaran9326 putting that on the to-do list, thanks!

cheers Bob, thanks for watching!

@@sbarrios93 thanks for watching!

Nope you haven’t missed it. It’s at the start of the Lesson 5 video

@@sbarrios93 hey, I believe the over defined issue is explained at 29:45. The better way to do this is not to tick that “dimensioned radius” box. I’ve shown this scenario in the video in an attempt to explain where something is over defined. Glad you’re enjoying it. Feel free to comment or email me directly with specific questions

thanks for watching @sbarrios93. Are there any other specific videos you're looking for?

@@FullyDefined-Design I'm just starting to learn SolidWorks (CAD/CAM in general tbh), but any project specific tutorials like this pulley one are awesome. I also feel like the SolidWorks RUclips space needs something like the Learn Fusion 360 for Beginners by Product Design Online (ruclips.net/video/WKb3mRkgTwg/видео.html). There are some playlists on RUclips to learn Solidworks from scratch but they are either old or low quality (IMO)

@@sbarrios93 neat suggestion, I’ll look into picking this up for SolidWorks

Sorry I missed responding to this earlier Ty. Your suggestion for using M5 cap screws and matching threaded holes (or inserts) is smart - but I didn't have any at home! Thanks for watching

@@tctn thanks, I’ll keep that in mind for the next one!

@@timheeney2060 glad you liked it! This kind of content is the primary aim of the channel, it just takes some time to work out the best way to present it, and there’s still work to be done. It’s cool to hear about different design/engineering backgrounds and such unique experiences. And yep, I was told Jon was watching but didn’t even know who he was! I’ll know for next time

@@petsworld3919 hi, thanks for watching. Those are some great suggestions and I will be very happy to do so

Having said all that, first time about 25 mins, second time 16 mins - productivity in modelling is always important and seeing how others do it is always a good idea. - thanks for the video.

First time it took 25 minutes, second time 16 minutes. So there's value in challenging your productivity methods of modelling. Quick question. The website that these models come from the guy is using IronCAD - so will that really push Solidworks users to complicated modelling techniques?

hey @@timheeney2060 thanks for watching! Love your comments. I 100% agree, copying CAD models and speed challenges like this are totally different from a Product Designer's typical workflow. What I've found beneficial from taking part in these challenges is discovering new methods to create simple features and time saving tips that have greatly improved my efficiency. Spending less time in CAD lets me focus more on the design I am creating. I also think the type of modelling (parametric or otherwise) used is impacted by the product's one is designing. I work for a company where we use a lot of rugged, geometric shapes. Locking down early concepts with defined sketches is important for control and to see where the creativity can flow. TooTallToby uses all types of CAD, but is a CSWE (SolidWorks) and Certified Onshape Pro as well. Even though it's not for me, there is still value in seeing what other software can achieve and how. I have a new video coming soon showing a detailed concept design from scratch - I hope you'll like it

@@FullyDefined-Design Well, then, i'll look forward to that detailed concept design concept. I'm biased against parametrics believing them to be to creative restrictive perhaps because I don't plan ahead too well and also I keep refining, refining refining... which always involves my last brain bulb-on moment, rather than my first ' let's start like this... Thanks for outlining the CAD TooTallTony uses - IronCAD I couldn't get on with, but that was twenty years ago now! Onshape, well that's parametric, I tried it, but it's not for my chaotic mind. Certainly Solidworks has some very productive tools that I just don't have. Reading everything back, I come over as a lecturing prig. Sorry I do that. All I really care about is getting the design finished pronto - a bit of considered forethought before frantic modelling is always the best decision for me at least. I used to design in 2D, defining the assembly concept in functional sections showing all the mating and clearance conditions. 3D modelling is a little more tricky either giving me too much visual information or hiding just exactly what I want to focus on.

@@timheeney2060 no problem at all, I took it in the discussion tone I assumed you intended. thanks again for the comments. I know what you mean about having too much visual information. I regularly use the Isolate and Display State tools in SolidWorks to focus on the details I need while editing.

@@Sophomores-sty that’s great! Thanks for commenting. What else do you need help with?

You're welcome, thanks for watching

@@petsworld3919 yeah I agree, would’ve saved a minute doing it that way! Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching! Great comment - I too am finding that ready made models for 3D printing aren't always the best solution. Thankfully I'm skilled in design so I can make my own models from scratch. Perhaps there is appetite for more of this type of content

Appreciate you watching, thanks!

ahhh whoops! I've moved that card now for others... thanks mate!

@@FullyDefined-Design nice

Thanks @dansoup403 - I really appreciate the feedback! I'm looking forward to bringing you more content - the drawing stage of this project will be recorded & posted very soon. What other aspects of SolidWorks would you like a resource for?

​@@FullyDefined-Design More advanced design projects in this same format would be amazing practice; it's hard to find other resources that replicate that workplace process feel. I hope to see the drawing stage for the parts as well as the assembly, and GD&T utilized. Cheers and thank you for the educational content!

yessir, lets go!

cheers mate!

Thanks! Go ahead please.

Thanks!

@@FullyDefined-Design You're welcome!

Thanks!

A great throwback to start with! Thanks

Thanks!

Thanks Jed!

I was using support-pla for the interfaces (making it easier to remove supports). After the tool head travels or purging the filament, some residual material may still be left on the nozzle. The block is called the prime tower. Enabling the prime tower can clean up the residue on the nozzle and stabilize the chamber pressure inside the nozzle, to avoid appearance defects when printing objects.

Any time!

Sorry mate I must’ve missed that one! Appreciate it
