Man, this old version is so much better than whatever the new version is doing. It's like wverything has been tucked away inside menus inside more menus now.

Thanks so much!! The instructions that came with my unit are pretty much worthless.. but thanks to your vid, you made my day and got me on my way!! Cheers!

Thanks for this tutorial! After 3 years it still is so relevant and useful! Thank you very much!

You have no idea how many hours and articles I have gone through to try to get a wall built; and all I needed was the thickness icon. I just started learning freeCAD and thought I was an idiot for not knowing how to make a simple box. LOL. Thanks OP.

so helpful, thank you soo much for making this

Apparently there have been some changes to the hole parameters since this was filmed. At least on the version I have, the options for Profile are ISO metric standard and ISO metric fine (as well as some UTS profiles), there is no "ISO Metric coarse" profile. I chose "standard". Also, with "threaded" checked, there is an additional option for "Model Thread". Without this checked, the holes did not work for the specified screw size (we'll see if checking that fixes the issue once my second print is complete). Finally, my research seems to indicate that you want a 6H class, not a 4G for "normal" usage - 4G would be tighter tolerance (which MIGHT be good). I'm not clear on the G vs H difference though. Perhaps my research is lacking? That said, this video was still EXTREMELY helpful, and I am quite glad that it was made and that I found it.

Fine explanation. Well done !

Had some mild frustration with this. 1) in Edit --> Preferences, you must check "substitute decimal separator"; 2) AS SOON as you "Add PlaneCoincendent constraint" it lines them up and no further action is required (i.e. you can close the popup window). With these two problems, I was failing to see why I couldn't proceed. It wasn't until I started the project over from scratch that I got that clarity. This is nuance that OP probably couldn't account for, so no shade.

Excellent tutorial. Coming from an Autodesk background, I've found your intro to be the best I've seen. Thanks for taking the time to make this.

Brilliant thank you for sharing your experience

Hi Tim, just had a look on this vidéo that was very useful for me. i was wondering if you had a try to shape a box to protect your astro gears ? i'm looking for a box to hold my FRA 400 + EAF. looking forward to read you

I was trying to load my Freecad project into Cura an your video made it possible . I have one problem with making sure that I am entering the FC file. Is there a final step after I have completed the FC model that allows me to send that project to Cura ?

I'm trying to put switch holes in the bottom. whats better to use copy or clone. And If I use copy I cant do multiple pastes.

Nice!!!!!

I'm new to FreeCAD and 3D CAD in general so every tutorial teaches me something. I skipped this at first as I needed more of the basics. With basics better understood I could follow this video better and understand. I didn't know about these features and want to be able to make boxes. My approach was more complicated and wasn't working very well.

Shouldn't the space allowance on tghe lid in the assembly be 0.1mm instead of 0.15mm?

Spent 2 hours doing a sketch of my walls, kept failing because of intersections and what not... solution use rec with thickness ehehe TY

I have this same DRO, but the 3 axis. Do these have an internal battery? Reason I ask is that mine reads fine all day long, but the next day (after shutting it off for the night), won't read at all (shows FFFFFFFFF). I have to restore factory defaults, and then reset the resolution every morning to get it to work. Since it works fine, once I do that, I'm wondering if it has an internal battery that perhaps is dead? I can't find any info on that anywhere...

In America you will spend way to much for your tools even your Chinese tools, that won't last anyway. Just keep in mind most your tooling is going to set in a toolbox most of the time. Put your money in an investment account and just puss the ju k tools to their limits 😮😅.

so if i use the same thread type as the hole they will work together

Excellent, Thank you very much. Very informative.

This is awesome - I like the practicality of the tutorial and the ease of making a box. Thanks that was time well spent.

I follow your intructions step by step。I finally finished it.Thank you very much.

Tim, Thanks for the great tips on engraving with Mach3. Question - If I am engraving multiple items one at a time, using the same text (pull one off the table, put another one on in the same place), how do I restart the process without shutting down Mach3 each time? Do you know any well written books for Mach3 beginners? Thanks.

Nice clear instruction. Great Tutorial for a newbee!

loved the video!

i have the 900-3db and cant get into this menu as mine only beeps once, if i press the S i can only get into the resolution parameters, any ideas for changing to lathe please?

THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU for explaining the set up.

Hi, I have 0.18 version and doesn't have the assembly mode, what should I do? Please help.

Tim, thank you very much. Simple, very clear and so easy to follow. I have made quite a few in various sizes. Is there a chance you could make a video for a circular enclosure with the same type of lid arrangement with 2 screw posts? Again. Thank you for the video.

Nice nerration. very usefull

One thing I suggest is to do a search around your area for a makerspace, many makerspaces, such as The MakerBarn, have a full well tooled shop. Here is where you can learn about what type of machines you would like to have in your shop. You can meet others that do home machining as well.

Very good video on showing basics of Freecad to the hobbyist/maker. Also appreciate you talking through your moves as you made them.

Thanks a lot for this video! It's simply amazing!

Well, its been an hour and I still can't build a simple box with unequal walls. Going back to fusion 360 because this is a 10 minute task at most. Sorry free cad, you suck.

5:37 ok, what idiot that made this program thinks thats vertical when you can clearly see you are in a "top down view". Its all horizontal at this point. Like...this is basic geometry. I am genuinely concerned that software designers have brain worms sometimes.

Thanks for this informative information

great piece, enjoyed it I'm sure this video will help me when i try out my K40 hopefully next week, very helpful thank you

Very good tutorial. Thank you for providing

Hello. This design isn't universal tho. It misses how to make it bottomless, because cases today open from both sides. Do you have advice?

real shame your all the same never see the actual part from design to print I mean can this program do this along with slicing .I very much doubt it this probably why its free

In ver. 0.20 it wants me to have added an "active Body project" before I can Pad. What and how do I do this?

Tim please make this great lessen over, using ver. 20. Pad does not work and I cant get any further.

Great job. Well-spoken and presented.

Great video!

Awesome. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks this helped me get started into modeling

So helpful for a complete newbie.

Lovely and very inspirational video, Sir! I'm building my machine shop right now and I feel so excited. I feel kid again.

Nice job Tim! I learned something Thanks
