Great tutorial. I always learn more from quick videos than I do from the standard tutorials. Once you see someone do something quickly, it basically becomes mandatory that you learn it yourself, at-least for me anyway
Thanks for this video TTT. Very fast (I guess because you were "on the clock") and I had to rewind a few times to fully understand, but I learned several great tips! Drawing a line to form an extrude-able shape, ribs with curved tops, revolve to form counter-bore hole etc. Great work.
Just found this channel while trying to figure out onshape. Love you challenges! I did one comment about the final counterbore; I did a plane offset and sketched a new point and created a hole off that with the dimensions that you mentioned. Have you used the point method at all for thru hole with counterbore…etc glad I found this channel and you main.
Nice! Glad this was helpful! when you say "the point method" are you talking about using mate controllers to locate the holes? I learned how to that a little later in the series (from AIRWICK). thanks!
I’m fan of onshape and I deeply believed in success of it in future. But a lot of work you should make for example new interface which allows to work on tablet, it’s very useful when you are moving every day … wish you to in TOP list of similar cad software!
Had fun doing this part. The ribs were very tricky for me to get that top curve correct. I could not find a link to the other video or a link to the challenge drawing so I had to work totally from the video. And I couldn't quickly check my answer since you didn't tell us the correct density of TTT ABS, I found it by freezing the video for the moment it was on screen. And though the density I think was on the challenge drawing, it was covered up by your "mouse cam". Still fun to try something I had to struggle to make work.
Hi Curt! Thanks for the feedback! The link to the original video is in the description of this video, but youtube does this weird thing where it kinda masks links in the descriptions. Here's the raw link: ruclips.net/video/6fH45otWleU/видео.html Yes you are correct you need to see the title block to read the density 🙂 Here's a video I made showing how I created my own library of TTT materials. This library is in the public database so you can search it and use the same library I built. ruclips.net/video/bPBjYcfvOjc/видео.html Glad you are enjoying the challenge! Lots more on my channel in this playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLzMIhOgu1Y5ch66npEIe0AZEyYMo9nki_ Enjoy!
@@TooTallToby Thanks! After writing that comment, I forced myself to check all the links, and I found it. Since I'm unfamiliar with your challenge projects, I was expecting to find a PDF for the challenge instead of having to scan through a different video, so I was confused by only finding links to your other videos. But now I understand how this works. I repeated the exercise a second time after watching your solution. I need to try it a few more times to fully understand all the ways this can be done and what works best. The ribs, with their odd top profiles, were a real learning challenge. Easy enough once you understand that the rib feature allows you to define that top profile, but I didn't know it could be used that way until this exercise! I also just learned how to set up a material library in On Shape for your three materials, so now I've learned that process as well. Obscure and odd, but simple enough once you know it. So forward to more learning!
@@CurtWelch Thats awesome! Thanks for the feedback!! I made a "how to rib" type tutorial too - on the onshape channel - but it sounds like you got that one down now!
@@TooTallToby As it turns out, I saw that rib video and worked through that exercise before this one. But what I failed to learn is the idea that ribs could have a top that was not a flat plane! I only thought of ribs as something you would extrude down from a drawing. When I saw the option of making the rib parallel to the sketch plane, I couldn't grasp why you would ever use it. So I failed to learn it. So when I got to this exercise which has the ribs with a curved top surface, I thought the rib tool wouldn't allow you to do this, so my first attempt was just using extrudes (which I made work but was overly complex because of how the rib joins with the egg in this part). But when I watched your solution on this video, it all finally made sense. So THAT is why I would use ribs parallel to the sketch instead of perpendicular to it!! So it took both videos before I learned what was being taught! It just takes time and practice to pick up all these ideas.
Is there a website where I can find these challenges? If you take a screenshot there's always something in the way. But I really like the idea of controlling yourself by weight of the parts. It's a nice way to learn and challenge yourself. Keep up the good work.
Hi Rggo - Practice models playlist can be found here: ruclips.net/p/PLzMIhOgu1Y5ch66npEIe0AZEyYMo9nki_&si=nd-Fn0yvvC1SfBdY Glad you are enjoying these challenges!
Tip: Scrap those useless construction lines for the revolves when you have a line in your sketch that already works. With that counter bore, just use the line you centered in the circle. No need for the extra line. Same goes for sketch 1. Use the horizontal line that connects the arc to the vertical line as the revolve axis.
Awww yeah that's a good suggestion! Only thing is, I would lose the doubled dimensions in the sketch. But there are definitely times when I don't need the doubled dimensions, so in these spots I'll try to remember to ditch that extra line. Thanks!
This is very nice tut. I am stuck when you put dimension (11:03) that I get normal 12 mm instead of radius. Construction line is in mid point and it is constraint with the shape. But still not sure how to get radius. Thanks.
Are you able to take the free plans from the precious plastics site I e been trying to figure it out so I can make the parts doing lost pla casting instead of having to get it all cnc cut. But need to make them printable
You could take a photo of the existing part and bring that into onshape. I did that in this video: ruclips.net/video/YkUaXfkIhQk/видео.htmlsi=GuDCjmB_BCB6iLp6
Wtf!? I'm so new to Onshape in 12:26 I'd still be watching a video trying to get the first line drawn...lol!
Very impressive!
lol - nice
Watched this a couple months ago, but just got around to trying the practice model.
Had to rewatch and follow along, but I learned!
Awesome!! that's the best way to learn!
Great tutorial. I always learn more from quick videos than I do from the standard tutorials. Once you see someone do something quickly, it basically becomes mandatory that you learn it yourself, at-least for me anyway
Nice!
Really great, those short but semi complex tutorials are the best in my opinion, I hope you keep them coming!
Thanks! It's been a lot of fun working on this series!
Thank you… very helpful to a noob :) I’m just moving over from Sketchup so there’s a steep learning curve. 😮
Nice! Welcome to the wonderful world of Onshape!
Thanks for a great tutorial I'm learning much from yours videos
Awww yeah glad these are helpful!
The master has spoken!!!!!
lol - thanks!

I'm planning on moving from Freecad to Onshape. I think your videos will be very helpful! Thank you
TTT is king .. That was incredible!
Nice! Thanks Nick!
awesome , learning at lot just from watching
Thanks Maik! Glad this is insightful!

My pleasure! And thank YOU michael for the great suggestion!
this is a great video! for some reason, i cant do the last part where you have to revolve to create the hole -.-....

Yeah, I thought the same thing too. I'm not CAD expert but for my senior design, I never had to use construction lines

You need to creat a draft angle on that rib. How would you do that?

why does SW which cost THOUSANDS NOT get the EASY stuff like auto trim for converted entities?
Good question!
If this part is to be injection moulded plastic, would all rib and boss sides need draft to aid in ejection? How can I do that in the rib command?
Yes - So far I have not been able to find a way to include the draft as part of the rib command, so I add it afterwards using a separate DRAFT feature
Looks like onshape now has draft in the Rib command @craigaitken1285 - Gotta love those onshape updates!! 🙂
Hi is there a way i can join a class tutorial
Well I tried to create flatten sheet model part of boat 🚤 left and right
Sides, but unfortunately Onshape doesn’t allow me to do it ((( I used freecad
