Awesome!!!!!!!! I can not say how applicative I am how you show the new features and then explain the by using them. Thank you so much and may God bless your for your work!
Awesome! =) Thanks for that, well done! One wish for part 3.. or 4? ;) What about some kind of "clip" feature, to hold the two parts in place without screwing or gluing them together :) Maybe also interesting for the PCB too, to hold it in place..
Yes clips, or perhaps some interlocking features along the split plane. Teeth would increase stiffness between the two case halves because they resist torsion. An o-ring groove would also be a useful feature.
Of course it will sport those, what kind of case would be without it lol. I was thinking more about screws from the bottom to secure the 2 halfs and clips for the lateral door for the GPIO. At the beggining of the first part of this series there is a small clip with the rough idea of the final model :)
How would you do the split if you needed a bit of tolerance between the parts? I tried to extrude the extrusion in various combinations with subshape binder and the split tool didn't seem to like the result...
The solution would be to model the thickness of the split tolerance and i show a similar workflow in the 3rd part of the tutorial. This is not optimal and a more elegant solution would be to be able to give a thickness to the binder that does the split. I'vd already talked to RealThunder about this in the past and I'll also post in the forum. Will see if it gets somewhere.
@@OficineRobotica Also, thank you for the tutorials! They show quite a reasonable workflow and highlight important interactions between the available functions that are otherwise not easily discoverable.
@@OficineRobotica Yes, that workflow works. The trick is to use the surface to split a intermediate body. then take half of that body and hollow it and use the result to create a split with a gap.
I can't find any "extrude a vertex/edge/face/sketch" tool in Part Design, such as the one used at 11:54. The closest I can find is the "Extrude" in the Part WB, which behaves weirdly. Any suggestions?
well, this was a tutorial on modeling and started it with a readly available model of the Pi till I decided to model my own so for continuity I'll stick with that. Anyway the beagle board would of been a better choice in the context of the software used ;)
In linkstage3 you have File > open folder . Those are freecad projects saved as folders instead of a single file. They are more suited for version control.
@@yosyp5905 Sorry, my bad. Not being in front of the pc sometimes I talk from memory. It works for me with the latest daily. Check the link ruclips.net/video/x5QN6oChrnM/видео.html What version and os are you using?
@@OficineRobotica I don't use daily as I've had a bug regarding crashes (I don't remember what I was trying to do, tho'). Are the configs shared by different versions, or are they located jn the program folder? I don't wanna lose my settings I use W10, one of the latest updates (can't currently check) edit: I currently have latest Stable installed
@@yosyp5905 Can't check now the exact location but the files are called link.user.cfg and link.system.cfg , make a backup to be on the safe side. The configuration is shared between Daily and Stable LinkStage3 but not shared with the official Freecad release. Give it a sot at the daily. I had some crashes with bug reports but not often. One in particular that we managed to hunt down is on Save and seems to be related to the thumbnail creation. Soon there will be a release with a lot of fixes. RT is working around the clock like all of us ;) Keep me updated. Also, if you encounter bugs that you can replicate consider opening a issue here: github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD_assembly3/issues

Very nice and useful for me. Thank you.
Thank you so much! For a very well explained tutorial
Thank you so much for your time and quality explanation :)
Marvellous, very useful and well explained. Thank you!
Thank you. Great work.
Please consider using Key Moon to show keyboard shortcuts.
Excellent, as always!
Thank you.
Excellent explanation and very accurate. Let's go for that monthly beer! 👌💪
Summer is approaching and I'll drink that Moretti thinking that I was usefull in some way. THANK YOU .
Beautiful! Thank you very much!
Great!
Great job! Thanks.
I try to follow the Tools section but I get no line when creating a subshapebinder from the 2 points of the sketches. What am I missing?
Thanks you very much !

Where is this special Extrude button in FreeCad 0.19 or is it only included in the Realthunder build?
What do you mean by "special extrude"? Some features are specific to LinkStage3 tough
How do you export each half for printing?
please watch the third and fourth part of the tut. I go quite in depth with the explanation
Do you know beagle board? It is similar to RasPi but true open hardware.
well, this was a tutorial on modeling and started it with a readly available model of the Pi till I decided to model my own so for continuity I'll stick with that. Anyway the beagle board would of been a better choice in the context of the software used ;)
I accessed the GitHub for the model but the part 2-3 are a folder, not a FreeCAD project. How do I open them?
In linkstage3 you have File > open folder . Those are freecad projects saved as folders instead of a single file. They are more suited for version control.
@@OficineRobotica I have no Open folder. I tried using "Open directory", but it throws me an error: "Invalid state while reading character stream"
