FreeCAD Beginner Tutorial Part Design
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- This is the next freecad tutorial for beginners, again we start with the Part design workbench and a sketch. After creating the first 3d part (pad) I add a so called datum plane to add another sketch for a part that I want to cut out of the 3d object (boolean).
This object is called a pocket and we can use it to cut into the 3d object to create a boolean difference operation based on the second sketch.
Other things you learn in this tutorial is using auto constraints for the radius of circles and arcs, length and coincidence constraints and also how to create holes for a cad part.

I've just completed your first 2 tutorials for FreeCAD. This makes so much sense. I'm going to try a few simple parts I will use for my R/C airplanes. I'm hopping to be able to print them out today. They will be very simple. I will check to see if you have a tutorial for a slicer. There seems to be many settings for that. Thank you and please stay safe. Have a good day.
Sounds great, here is one for 3d printing with Prusa Slicer and Blender : ruclips.net/video/-y5r2mTlUWA/видео.html
I am a total noob at all of this. It took me about 2 hours to figure out how to use the slicing program Cura. These are some amazing tutorials. I love the straight forward explanation. Also, unlike other videos where the person scrolls and clicks then realizes that wasn't where they wanted to go, so they scroll and click again, and again, and again. Until they find what they are looking for. Totally removes the interest. So, you even forget what he is trying to do. lmao
@@JayAnAm hi jayanam! can i ask how did you made the next datum plane in the middle? thank you and at some point i can't use M shortcut idk why.
Wow! I didn't expect to see this kind of an complex object being created so easily and explained so well. Amazing content! Thank you!
I always thought cad was so complicated, but your videos make it so simple. I've just finished my first model, and I'm quite proud of how it turned out. Thanks a bunch for inspiring me!
Thanks for making these tutorials! FreeCAD has an incredibly frustrating interface and viewport. This really helps. Keep up the great work!
So simple and elegantly explained. Thank you for making Freecad seem so easy.
Well done! Easily understandable and the right (short) length! Bite size lessons are great. They can be squeezed in and don't take forever.
Yep, thx!
Thank you! Been watching your tutorials and I'v learned a LOT. Good pace, clear instructions and overall good tutorials!
This is so clear and helpful! At 5:33 when closing my datum plane rectangle slice sketch it closed my entire program several times! I had to re do it 3 times but, yay practice! It worked. You're a wonderful teacher.
Nice! I'm 10 minutes into freecad and am following along well! Thank you!
First thing is I subbed. Thank you so much for a very well executed tutorial. I love the fact that you are so familiar with this program, that you don't have to keep searching for what you want to do. It gets so annoying having to watch the person scroll and click, then scroll and click, then scroll and click. Until they find what they need to continue the tutorial. You, on the other hand, just seamlessly go through the paces and show everything needed to accomplish the task at hand. I thank you for that.
I am looking forward to more of your tutorials. You will help me become an expert in no time. I have purchased my first 3D printer, the Anycubic Mega Zero. It is just so awesome. It didn't take me no time to learn how to use it. It was perfect right out of the box. I use other peoples .stl files to make things and I have had no trouble except for the dialing in of the filament. Hopefully with your help, I will be capable of creating and printing my own designs. I am just sooo looking forward to more of your tutorials. Once again, thank you so much.
Another _superb_ FreeCAD Tutorial Jayanam! Keep up the great work. Thanks! 🚀
Holy crap I forgot you did another video on this! More please!! I've been wanting to learn this tool and have absolutely no idea what I'm doing with it!
Yesterday I was mad because it took me so long just to get into the part design. Then I was having issues trying to make pockets. I like your approach, I can't wait to get home and try it, thanks for the video!
Thank you this was a wonderful and intuitive explanation and crash course for freeCAD. Thank you immensely!
FreeCAD is amazing too. Thanks.
just starting to learn freecad for small part design. Great video and clear instructions. Thanks very much for sharing your knowledge on this.
This is the first part Ive created ,, now ill do it again without following step by step to see if I have it , but a huge thank you for the tutorials.
Great tutorial. I've been struggling to keep all of my sketches locked onto my body, I didn't know about that plane tool, you're a lifesaver man.
Glad I could help!
These are the best tutorial videos available for this software! Thanks!
Thank you!
Thank you for these videos! I am printing my first part thanks to you! It's for my new storage shed that was missing a door guide, but hopefully not for long! 😃
Great video's just what us beginners need steady pace, keep them coming please and Stay Safe my friend !!!
I want to say thank you for your tutorials and how you segment learning the software. I watched another person's tutorial video but it was a long video filled with a bunch of stuff all at once. And the video is good...it's just a bit too fast paced for me it's like non stop action.
But your videos. You cover a couple points and a couple relative side notes per video. So there isn't a lot of pausing needed, you are very very clear about what you're doing and you speak in a calm tone at a relaxed pace. Which really helps me to take in the information and apply it better. Your visual content is also happening at a relaxed pace so I'm able to see what you're doing and where to go to do it.
I just started watching your tutorials yesterday. And haven't completed them all yet. But I have been able to look at basic designs from thumbnails and photos and make my own general recreation (identical in design but not in specifications).
I can't thank you enough, and I will definitely be using your videos as reference material, and recommending it to anyone looking to start in cad, or looking for a return refresher course. Thank you again!
Thanks Jayanam! I have just completed your first 2 tutorials for FreeCAD. You make this look so easy. It was easy to follow your lead. Please expand upon your FreeCAD tutorials to include other workbenches. Thanks again. Exploration TV
I just watched through your first two FreeCAD tutorials. Before starting, I couldn't even get a line on the screen. I spent about two hours drawing a part while I watched (sometimes watching a short segment over and over, since I'm on Linux and despite the same version, my menus and yours aren't identical), and at the end, I have a complete base for a film slitter (to convert 120 into either 127 and 16mm, or three strips of 16mm) ready to print -- including slots for the blades to seat in, fillets and chamfers, and pockets for the magnets that will hold the cover on. The cover (which holds the blades) is next. Even better, I have the *knowledge* now to sketch the cover. One Saturday morning well spent.
Of course, I still have to find space to set up a 3D printer before I can print the parts, since the nearest library that has a printer is in a different county so I can't get a card. One thing at a time...
Excellent. You have a great teaching style.
Thanks for these videos, very helpful!
Thank you so much for making this. Im currently making a gopro mount and this helped out a lot
Quick and to the point - Subscribed! :)
Thank you so much for these tutorials, they're gonna help me in school! LOL
Link to previous tutorial in description always is a good idea, especially if they are released in some "increasing complexity" order , then watchers always can go back and forth instead of searching whole youtube or your channel :)
Thank you for this, demonstrated all the techniques I needed to model the part I needed...... So helpful :)
Hey, great you like it!
Love the way you say "downwards"! You should be narrating books on tape.
Good FreeCAD tutorial!! Please make more!
This has been so very useful thanks
Amazing tutorial! very detailed but still short so I keep interest. Need more about FreeCad! Thanks
Thx, will do!
Thanks great tutorial I look forward to the next one!
Thanks for watching, more to come
You may have solved a problem I was having with sketching on an existing face...must try this, thanks!
Very nice and useful explanation, thanks!
Thanks, it was very helpful!
I need to design some 3d printing replacement parts. I have only ever done 3d modelling in Blender and freeCAD is really confusing to me but seeing this short and on point video really helps to unterstand the general workflow and concept. Thanks!
Great it helped, thx for the comment
Hi jayanam. I really love your tutorials and i wish you the best in your life too. Thanks.
Thx a lot m8, same for you!
Thank you for these tutorials. They realy help in some things i have wondered how to do in freeCAD :)
You're very welcome!
Well paced and easy to understand.
Thx a lot
brilliant tutorial mate
nice, simple and easy guide
Great tutorial, thanks
I think this video along with your original tutorial will help me design a little motorcycle helmet for my wife's baby yoda. Thank you very much.
Thank you real good teaching
Finally got it. Need to pick the polyline
THANK YOU!!! The auto-constraint bug was fucking up everything and I had no idea why!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
I really need to learn this utility.
well thanks to your video and since i am ignorant on 3D skatching i finally have created the liquid containing part of my box.
next is the cover and holes to fix it nicely to the pox....
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!
ahh the Z Army cant buy shit from the Global Market and needs to print everything out from the 3D Printer... Question: what do u use as printing material and what happens when u run out of it? xD
Great vid!
Thank you!
amazing! I can finally create something :D
Thank you
Thanks!
THX for the help :)
Excellent. Clear and concise. More please, maybe something on additives.
Great suggestion, thx
Thanks for making such a good quality tutorial. I hope to move from AutoCAD and Vray to FreeCAD and Blender for Architectural use (for everything from technical drawings, plans, and visualizations). I will need a few more tutorials!
Will do, the next one next week will be how to bring FreeCAD model to Blender, which is also quite basic stuff.
Thank you sir.
More please. I just found this channel
Very good lesson
Excellent tutor. Really helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Very useful . Thank you
Hey, thx a lot
Hi Jaynam. I like your tutorials.
Thx m8
Very helpful tutorial. Thanks
Glad you liked it
Fantastic video.
Thank you!
Thanks for this, I’m new to FreeCad, but have been using Solidworks and AutoCad for 3 years, so it’s been confusing for me to do some simple things like this, mainly because the wording and methods in FreeCad are a bit difference. After extruding my initial body without the circle for the hole, I was going to try to sketch it on the face of my part and try to make a hole from that sketch, but it was telling me I couldn’t do that, but I don’t really understand why. I guess if I ever want to do something to make a cut I’ll have to get into the habit of making a plane like you did for the pocket or just including the shape of the hole into the initial sketch. Either way, both seem easier and more in my ballpark than using the boolean stuff like another video did.
Man that was excellent, more meat - less bread!
Please make more freeCAD tutorials :)
Thanks a bunch! It would be very helpful, if you'd not only say which tool to use but also the keyboard shortcut. Best wishes!
love your voice
We would like to see more freecad videos comming from your channel atleast two tutorials a week
:-) More to come!
Very good tutorials. I am waiting of new...
Glad you like them! More will come
Broooooo this shit is cool man!
Great tutorial 👍
Not sure what went wrong - 1st attempt at pocket cut out did not show up - restarted from the very beginning and all ok.
Cheers
Pretty cool. I haven't touched CAD since using AutoCAD 12 in school during the late 1990s. One thing I really liked was the ability to specify precise measurements right away while drawing via the command line. Is there any feature like that in FreeCAD?
I recognized your voice (and afterwards your name) from the Blender tutorials!
We meet again. lol
Haha... great! Yes, there will be more FreeCAD tutorials, for me it's the Blender of CAD :-)
please make more freecad tutorials
thanks from India.
Thanks for the great video... Now once I have closed the the sketch to go do the padding and finish off, how can I get back to the sketch to see the sketch with constraints, dimensions, and that so I could perhaps change the sketch as needed? Thanks ;)
Thank you for videos I learned a lot. If you have time to make video to explain spiral designs like pumps, turbines :)
Great suggestion!
Thank you very much for this video. A quick question...is the datum plane necessary? I put the sketch on the front face of the body and created the pocket from there. I'm using FreeCAD 0.20. Is the datum plane recommended based on the topological naming issue?
At 3:19, how can the sketch be fully constrained? I can't see there's a height for the vertical part containing the hole.
Yes, same here.
i solved this issue by simply adding a constraint to the left vertical line, this completes the sketch. about 10mm seemed appropriate
Me too. I think that the default behavior for things like 'Auto-Constrain' seems to change based on the version...
This is awesome. I have one very basic question though - why can't I move or rotate the parts in my editor? The only thing I have been able to use are those tiny arrows on the cube on the top-right corner of the editor and zoom in and out. Click and drag on the empty area has no effect whatsoever. Do I need to be in any specific view or something? I am using Freecad 0.19 on Ubuntu. Sorry for the extreme basic question.
Great tutorial! A question just to try to understand some of the basics, at 3:13, how did it get fully constrained? How did the vertical parts leading up to the arc at the left part of the sketch get defined? Mine never did
If you can move the arc, i added a block constraint on it and mine turned green
I had this problem and I "solved" it by remaking the sketch. Somehow each of the line segments were no longer connected, or I had not been close enough to right angles when first trying the sketch- and thus could not solve constraints
If you were to adjust the surface where the datum plane sits,Will the datum plane then follow the surface? In The same Way a sketch would do If you created it on the surface instead of a datum plane?
Or does the datum plane always stay in the same spot?
Great Videos. Here is a suggestion. you should give them better names so watchers can finds the next videos easier. Here is an example: "FreeCad 01 Beginning Tutorial Part design." Anyway, your videos are really great and easy to follow. Thank you.
Thanks for the tip
This seems to be a nice video/
A few people will have a problem. Some people have poor eye sight and can not follow the small fast moving pointer. Is it possible to make the pointer bigger. This will help us a lot.
Thank You
Thank you for the video! Do you have any plans to do more of them?
Yes, just planning the next one.
I'm really would be happy if you make some tutorial series related architecture topic in FreeCAD. For example, I'm interesting on stadium making as i'm stadium maker for game development.
Ok, will see, I put this to my list
@@JayAnAm Big thanks advance. Would be happy😊
How can I select points on a mesh when sketching onto its surface via a datum-plane? I know I can go into the function-mode inside constraints to reference other objects and constraints, but is this really the only way of achieving that?
Info would be greatly appreciated!
💕🔥👍
Does this program have a smart dimension tool?
Is a datum plane used just as a reference object to attach the rectangle to?
Why do I get an error "Cannot set the datum because the sketch contains conflicting constraints" when trying to define the 3mm length as you do in the video at 3:12?
hi, how to enable the white grid in sketch view? i got the 0.19 version
how do you measure something inside a sketch just for reference?
I have an existing .stl file which is a basically circle (intake duct for a quad drone) I want to take the interior vertical wall of the duct and narrow it by 1.58MM and leave the outside diameter and other dimensions as they are. I don't know how to take an existing .stl project and to be able to do this simple task. I can view it from all sides, take measurements, but I cannot extrude the interior vertical wall nor can I do anything with the Project but look at it. How do I modify?/ I'll send you the file if you wish to do a tutorial on existing .stl projects. Thanks, Bob Griffith
if (and hopefully when) i earn money from my ideas in this, i'll donate to you man
