Thank you for creating these. I have watched 3 other Freecad tutors and you are the first one that I can follow. I am far from stupid, having built many mobile wireless communication products (mainly focusing on electronics and radio signals) and participated in many discussions about industrial design. But Freecad is the first time I have tried to learn a CAD program and I am astonished at how uninformative the other tutors are.
Thanks for concise,clear instruction. I'm moving from an archaic 2-D drawing program to FreeCad. My area of interest is mechanical clocks. A segment of animating a set of gears would be very useful. An organized list of Freecad skills would make your series far easier to use. Sometimes it seems like the scheme throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks.
It's amazing how easy it is to create an interesting shape using the additive loft tool. BTW Your lessons warp space-time. I don't even know when the 18 minutes passed! ;-)
Thanks for the video. For some reason everytime I try to do the revolution my sketch disappears. No idea whats going on. Yours is the second tutorial I tried and it just always disapears
Thank you for the video. One thing I have been stuck on, its inserting an operation into a prior step. I am able to return to the prior sketches and change the dimensions etc to change the object but find it quite difficult to insert an operation. For example, the object has a few sketches with each having a pad after the sketch, like Sketch 1->Pad 1, Sketch 2-> Pad 2, Sketch 3-> Pad3. After that is done, I start to fillet and chamfer the edges. In the process, I find that it is need to do a chamfer before Pad 2. How do I do that? Will be great if you can do a video on it, unless its really simple.
Out of curiosity, do you ever use any other kinds of CAD programs? I'm quite partial to CorelCAD at this point, but that's mostly because it's one of the very few "professional" CAD programs that works on macOS.
I have used Fusion 360 and still use Tinkercad for very simple things. I also often use an svg editing program called boxysvg for complex 2d drawings. I use affinity photo and designer for 2d art and Canva for my RUclips thumbnails. Hope this is not too much info.
Not on the subject but I just bought my very first printer, an Ender 3 V2 and although I'm getting the hang of it, I have a problem with the Z axis, when I print a 20X20X20 cube, the Z is only 19mm so I printed a test with 5 layers of 2mm each, offset slightly to facilitate measuring and every layer is less than 2mm, any ideas how to fix this
Nice video, just what I needed. However when I create the sketches and go to the model tab I do not see individual components only sketch under body. Also when creating the sketchs it only ask what plane on the original sketch. Using version .18. I have tried 10 times.
what about design spark? its free cad software!! and what about onshape which has a free version and is a online cad!!! both are less hassle than freecad!
I prefer to talk about software that runs on both windows and macOS when possible. I may be wrong but my impression is design spark is windows only. Onshape much like Fusion 360 are both excellent programs but their licenses have changed overtime so I switched to Freecad.
Mature teachers are the best, its really very easy to understand your explanations. Thank you for your effort. I have learnt a lot
Wow!! I was looking for a german tutorial. But just know, here I understood the way to create a vase. Thank you so much!!! Best wishes, Yvonne

I always learn something from you whenever I watch your channel. I especially like the FreeCad tutorials. Thanks for sharing this.
Extremely informative - one of your best yet !!
Nice way of learning such a complex topic as freecad! Thanks!
Great video.
Are you making these just for me? 😎
Thanks doc. ☕
Happy to be helpful.
Excellent teacher!

Best tutorial, please made beginner to highly advance video on freecade
thank you for the nice video
Interesting as always 👍
Thanks for sharing your video 👍😁
Finally understood! Thank you so much
This video should be moved up by 1 in the playlist.

Good question. Let me think about it and put it on the list.
In what directuon (plane) do you place this model on Cura tu be sliceed?

i will like to design a cycloidal disk/gear on freecad but my skill are no existent please help

I’d post your question on the DrVax forum, it’s a great place to get help. forum.drvax.com

You should consider using the multi-line tool, it's way easier than your approach.
Very good video though
Your are correct. I like to use a variety of tools and approaches in my videos to provide my viewers with alternatives.
💕👌👍

@@MakeWithTech well whatever works best i always say!!
thank you . my brain hurts from freecad
youre so nice and helpful
copied you, but not getting individual sketches just one. Thus cannot separate?
@@hareraiser5649 I have same issue, I will try.
part 1 is video 7 and part 2 is video 6
