FreeCAD Tutorial for beginners using the Revolve and Polar Pattern tools in the PartDesign workbench of FreeCAD 0.21.2. FreeCAD Download Link: www.freecad.org/downloads.php
Seriously, I’ve watched a multitude of FreeCad tutorial videos but I just couldn’t absorb the contents or the speed it was given. I was discouraged and I was just about to stop trying to learn it, till I finally found your videos. The ease, the clarity… You have such a way to share your knowledge. I would add more positive comments but in a nutshell, please, please Jeff, don’t stop. I can’t wait to learn more.
I have seen many Freecad tutorials online. I just learnt 4 new things in one 8 minute video from you! Please continue with these. I hardly ever comment but you are fantastic in your explanations. Clear, Concise and to the point.
I watched several videos but your are the only one I am able to follow and replicate exactly what you do and this tool is starting to make a lot more sense to me. I was overwhelmed in previous efforts to learn basic CAD. Thank you.
I hope that you are going to make more tutorials like this. You have answered so many questions I have had while watching other tutorials. Your voice is just right, pace isn't rushed and you don't, THANK the gods, keep injecting pointless off topic information. My poor old brain (63y) can actual keep up.
I was about to stop using FreeCAD as the tutorials i used until now, didn't help as much as i would like. Your tutorials are really well made, not too fast and not too slow so i become bored. Great work
Jeff, you have the knowledge to teach. The absolute best CAD exercise I've seen. Your voice is clear and it doesn't go too fast. It's easy to follow along and the way you build up what you want to teach means that it creates a basis for continuing on your own. So good! Looking forward to following you. I will recommend your channel to anyone who wants to do 3D printing and use FreeCAD for carpentry, metal work and building drawings. I'm really looking forward to seeing your tutorials on the different workbenches in FreeCAD
As a PhD who spent many years at university I can say that knowledge of a subject and ability to explain it to students are two totally different skills which rarely overlap. Jeff is an unique example of a person combining both.
Just in the 4 videos I've learned more then all the others I've watched combined. I think now I should be able to create my part I've been getting so frustrated in designing for the past 2 weeks. Can't wait for your new videos. New sub here🎉
This was the third set of FreeCAD tutorials I tried and the first one that clicked. I understood both the "what" and the "why". I occasionally had to go back a few seconds to watch a section over again, but your explanations made things clear. More importantly, I think I "got" the basics of FreeCAD. Sure, there's a huge amount still to learn but now I feel like I have a solid foundation. I think you've rewired my brain to "think" FreeCAD. I'd absolutely love you to continue this series. I'm interested in modelling for 3d printing. If I want to print several separate parts, how would I do that in FreeCAD? What if I want my parts to join together? How about adding screws or screw holes? If you don't produce more episodes, you still have my very sincere thanks.
I have been watching recently a lot of FreeCad videos. Majority of authors are strong professionals in FreeCad but they totally lack teaching skills. They start with crafting overly complicated shapes and than quickly switch through most crucial moments, like attaching sketch to a plane or using hotkeys. Contrary, Jeff sticks to very simple shapes and demonstrates the concept of operation. I also like his demonstrations of using various tools to make the same operation. Jeff, please continue the channel. Maybe you want to set up some donations option as well.
I hope your channel continues into the foreseeable future. Cause great content like this is hard to find. Especially on FreeCAD. I just found your channel tonight. You have some excellent content. Please continue the great work. Thanks from a new subscriber.
At 4:33 I get those buried objects a lot...I am only day two with mechcanical CAD and FreeCAD. I was drawing such things in n left field then constrained them into place blindly - what a pain. Showing us 'view section' is just what we needed... thank you!
These videos have been excellent, very clear and easy to follow - please do something more on workflow/best practises like using symmetry and when to use constraint equal/parallel etc to make things easier to modify later.
It was easy to understand even without the drawings, but I think it will help you understand better if you have them. I look forward to working with you.
Thanks, Jeff. I'm really struggling with making some simple Dwell cams for my project. I need 3 cams 80mm dia. X 5mm thick with a positive dwell and three with a negative dwell. This seem like it should be simple, but I can't to find the correct tool combinations to make it happen. ei; Positive dwells, cam A+ = 270* to 360*, cam B+ = 66* - 186*. Negative dwells, A- = 105* to 350* , B- = 260* to 350* , These are used to trigger micro switches to turn motors on/off and prevent component collisions in old bowling machines. We're building an emulator/ tester.
Thank you so much, very clear and simple and i really hope you will continue to make these helpful videos. I would like to make a request for a tutorial on gears and holes for - or on a shaft. The ones i have found have seamed almost arcane - or is it that manipulating gears is freecad really is difficult? It's pretty easy to find how to draw a shape and then pad it out, but not this - or am i just stupid?
love your tutorials but on this one, even though i follow to the letter i cant get past the revolve stage. when i try any base axis nothing comes up and i get an error mess. "conflicting constraints". what do you think im doing wrong?

Thanks again. I have done all 4 of your tutorials. They are the best, up to date ones around. Looking forward to the next ones!
Big thanks! I only watched these 4 on how to cad and I now feel I can cad anything.

FINALLY .... someone with FULL explanations. Thank you!

You have a gift for making CAD tutorial videos, keep 'em coming!
Thank you for the great tutorials, your examples are the best I've seen for understanding what is happening, looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks for the tips👍. Two in particular 1) "M" Key for switch line type, and 2) the Select and Preview when creating fillet or Chamfer.
I was about to stop using FreeCAD as the tutorials i used until now, didn't help as much as i would like.
Your tutorials are really well made, not too fast and not too slow so i become bored.
Great work

These tutorials are awesome, they're simple, concise, fun and helpful. Please make more! :)

Do more i these sir, I am a beginner in 3d modeling and cad. I love your videos❤
Thank you once again Sir!

Great info, short and to the point.
Great content, thank you!
Love this channel, subscribed! Im a beginner in FreeCAD and this videos are most helpful for start! Thanks ❤
Thanks for subscribing! I'm glad these videos have been helpful!
Thank you for your clear concise instructions. I’m just starting out in 3d modelling and these videos are brilliant.

Thank you!
I am waiting for more tutorials, you are doing great job!

Another great and helpful video, thanks for sharing!
Awesome tutorial! I learned a few new tricks. Thanks
Thanks, Jeff.

hej!
this mini intro series have been nice. im new to CAD and 3D printing. would you like to do a tutorial for internal threads? regards from sweden
love your tutorials but on this one, even though i follow to the letter i cant get past the revolve stage. when i try any base axis nothing comes up and i get an error mess. "conflicting constraints". what do you think im doing wrong?
You doing any more videos?
If you are flipping hurry up.
The select face to chamfer trick is nice to know. 👍
