I got informed about this channel today by your wife. She wasn't wrong this is very interesting and I'm glad I looked at the channel after being informed about it. I'm going to have to watch more of these videos.
This was really interesting! Some great tips but also it helps to learn the difference in nomenclature between CAD so it's easier to find what you're looking for.
Nice one! The main thing I would have done differently is the layout for the "ears": if you just added something with the correct width (like adding a slot to your line, or even the whole profile and using it for cutting afterwards), you could use that for the partial flange with an "up to" instead of typing in the values. The 12mm hole would be a good place to show how to use an offset mate connector with the hole tool to place it in one go (instead of doing an extruded cut). The benefit of using the hole tool consistently is that all the holes created that way will show up in the hole table (on the right above the flat view), right now you would only see the 20mm hole in that table.
Awww that's good (the offset from mate connector hole) - I gotta try that on a future tutorail! Thanks airwick!! (and thanks for the other suggestion too!)
Following along with this in April 2024, Onshape now creates an automatic “relief cut” next to the partial flange( 8:43 ). Is there some setting I missed to disable or change this? It makes it extra work to match the drawing. Thanks for the vids @tootalltoby!
nice TTT, so I got everything right when I tried the model but I struggled and look for featured a lot, you have a clean straight approach , any way nice job :)
when i add flange and size down to "partial flange" @8:36. It automatically adds a relief cut out into the body of the part itself. That it did not do for you. How do I null that from happening?
Hey thanks that worked. my model looks like yours now. So is there a way to set the relief type to Tear in settings? I had to add 2 bend relief instances in my feature tree, one for each relief cut on either side of the flange. I worked fine but, I'm wondering if I did it right. Is there a place where I can just go to set Onshape so that all my flanges just generate without relief cuts?@@TooTallToby
Hey, very informative video! I didn't quite get what i wanted though. I see that its very well set up to convert your 3D designs into sheet metal. But what if want to take a 2D design, and then simulate the way the sheet bends to lign up the edges of my shape? Is that possible? I hope you have some experience with this, and can help me. 🙂
I’m afk right now, but check out the new sheet metal video on the official onshape RUclips channel. It’s called something like “DXF to sheet metal” and I think it’s exactly what you’re describing. 😀
I got an answer within tolerance of 644.88 grams in build123d. I am curious what was the bend radius of the 45 degree "flange" using the approach you used in OnShape? I used 5mm in build123d and my mass is slightly different (by 645.2-644.88 = 0.32 grams). Does OnShape assume this radius based on prior operations in the model?
Full round not currently supported on sheet metal so that wouldn't have worked, same with the 30deg chamfer only equal angle chamfers are currently supported.
I don't think full round fillet works on a sheet metal geometry yet, in onshape. Try it yourself and LMK if you see the same thing. Thanks for the suggestions though!
@@TooTallToby Oh man this sucks so much. We're trying to switch to OnShape in our SME (currently on the discovery program), but we keep bumping into lack of features like this and it bums me out because a lot of things work so much nicer than SolidWorks
its understandable that you are seeing the growing pains of moving to onshape. @@bclaus0 the only solace I would offer you is this: Take a look at how many "new and innovative" features SolidWorks has added over the past 5 or so releases. Then take a look at the enhancements that onshape adds every 3 weeks. Before you know it, Onshape will surpass SolidWorks as far as "feature capability" goes - it is inevitable.

Awww yeah - Mrs Tall Toby spreading the good word! Welcome to the channel!
Kudos, TTT! Your skill as a turor (and all your great Practice Models I've been doing) remind me that I need to donate to your channel again.
Awww yeah thanks ! I still have a lot to learn in onshape sheet metal!
Thank you once again for this simple and wonderful tutorial. Keep this great art alive.
Thanks!
Love your video tutorials. They are easy to follow, and I keep learning new things with Onshape.
Great thanks! checkout the onshape youtube channel too - I post a bunch of stuff on there!

Thats a great point (about learning the nomenclature) - glad you enjoyed this!!

that's great mate!!

super usefull
Glad to hear it!

nice - I wonder if they changed the defaults - I know they were working on improving some of the sheet metal stuff. I love onshape so much!!

Thanks and glad this helped and glad you got it right too!!

Set the relief type to TEAR 😀
Thanks! @@TooTallToby

Also, thanks for the great content!
@@TooTallToby How do you set the relief type? I’m completely new to CAD and want to learn
And how to unfold it? I want to see which size I need on the plotter, when I bend it myself ;)

@@TooTallToby Awsome! Thanks for that!
649g
I think I should finally get the TTT materials loaded up. I'm always off by a few g/oz
Awww yeah - now is the time - SEIZE THE DAY!

Yes - you define the radius when you define the initial sheet metal feature, and Onshape uses that radius for all subsequent sheet metal bends.
very nice video!
awesome thanks!
I might have to start looking into onshape , can you export dxf in the free version ?
Yes, you can export DXFs in the free version.
Yup it sure can! I'll make a tutorial about it soon!
Will onshape add metal surfaces like solidworks in upcoming days
Yes!
9:56 could've used the Full Round option on the Fillet menu
Full round not currently supported on sheet metal so that wouldn't have worked, same with the 30deg chamfer only equal angle chamfers are currently supported.
I don't think full round fillet works on a sheet metal geometry yet, in onshape. Try it yourself and LMK if you see the same thing. Thanks for the suggestions though!
