FreeCAD 0.20 For Beginners | 20 | Multi body Clone Workflow | Modelling Simple Hinges | Part Design
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- In this beginners lesson we will teach you basic FreeCAD part design for a simple hinge but using a workflow that allows you to create a template which can be cloned for both parts of the hinge. This allows modifications to the template which can then gets applied to the clones whilst you can make custom changes to each of the clones.
In this course we teach the fundamentals of freeCAD using the basics but delivering via teaching you different workflows. In one lesson you may be learning how to sketch and build a model but will also be following a workflow that will take through the part design workbench all the way to exporting it out in STL format. In another lesson you may be learning how to model in the part workbench to see the differences between it and the part workbench but you will be following a workflow that will allow you to create 2D plans of your model to laser / paper cut.
We aim to teach you freeCAD in a practical way.

Brilliant as usual. I always get my solutions from your channel. Thanks for what you do, honestly Freecad would not be the same without you.
Hats off...you are such a great teacher...I am learning cad to design and make my own parts for my astronomy hobby...thank you VERY MUCH...!
Thank you so much for such a kind comment, much appreciated.
Fantastic tutorials. You should know that you often say "constrain radius" when what you actually do is constrain the diameter!
You're doing a great job with these videos. So good in fact I can't keep up ! Always pick up a few tips even though I've been learning FreeCad off and on for about 2 years now. Your videos are really helping me to fill in the gaps in my knowledge. I'm sure I'm not the only one that benefits from your efforts. Thanks very much from Canada 😊
Thank you for the kind words, it's great to hear from people like yourself of how they are progressing. I am trying to figure out a way of building some kind on index to show examples of what people are using them for as there are so many videos and it's starting to get hard for people to find a key workflow or technique to tackle their problem. In that way it's covers viewers who want to dip in and out when researching their projects
Thanks. This is exactly what I need on my rc drift wheel design. Now I understand clones tool to make different spoke patterns.
Great, it's nice to see viewers sharing examples of where it's going to be used.
Great demonstration of the clone tool, thank you. Cheers
Thank you 😁
I also teach FreeCAD and I believe FreeCAD have lots of potential. FreeCAD helping small industries who can not afford paid costly software. I came to this channel with RUclips suggestion. Mango Jelly Solution is best channel to learn advance tool of FreeCAD.
Thank you so much for the kind comments , I haven't seen your channel before so I will be subscribing and having a look. Its great to see there are other showing the same love I have for the software. Great work 👍👍👍👍👍
This could do with a followup. Just telling people to be careful with the fillets doesn't really solve the problem if being careful just means no fillets. Instead of placing the sketches on the faces of the cloned bodies, they should be placed on an origin plane and then offset in Z by the necessary distance. The offset should be an expression (just like setting the pocket length to Pad.Length / 2) so it stays with the face even if the underlying geometry changes.
Good explanation, simple, didactic and understandable
Thank you 😊👍
Really nice and helpful... Thanks!
Thanks for some great tutorials. My question is how do you take the hinge and then attach it to other bodies in the overall model.
Glad you enjoyed. You can use it in an assembly with another objects or you can create a 'link' into another file. I have a few videos coming up regarding assemblies and individual parts which may help. It's taking a while to create as it's 4 individual parts along with an assembly and spread across 5 videos. The editing is taking a while.
Quick question, not having used this feature as yet, does the changing of a clone work up and down or just down from the original? i.e. If I create a clone and clone the clone, will changes I make to the 2nd clone change the 3rd clone and the original, or must I make changes to the original to get changes to the clones. Let me know if you don't follow my logic. Great video. I will enjoy playing around here.
In your example changes to the second clone will move down to the third but not up. It's always moves down from the operation you cloned as well i. e clone the whole body everything gets cloned down. Clone the pad operation of the original then you clone from that point. Create a pocket on the original on top of that pad it won't be cloned. Glad you enjoying the videos.
Would love a tutorial on setting up and using freecad with something like mbdyn for simulations. Fusion360 contact sets do not seem up to the task, solidworks too damn expensive for part timers, hoping freecad has a bench that's not mind bending learning curve. (only want to judge angles, lengths of lever interaction with sliders and other components not fea or fluid dynamics).
What you don't have close to four grand lying around for solidworks?
mbDy dynamics workbench is a interesting workbench which is, well as by the name in this realm. I am looking to do a set of tutorials on it as there is so much on offer within. It's trying to build some tutorials that I can present without scaring people off as this area can get very complex very fast. I have a few ideas that I am going to test the water with.
@@MangoJellySolutions yeah I guess it's kinda of a niche area, but then again you maybe the only source on RUclips. I just looked back through a few of your vids on animation, that should keep me busy for a while.
@@tvathome562 i'm looking at doing some mechanical movement. I used to own a really old book with a large number of the movements within, rack and pinon, cam follower etc and I would love to recreate these all in that workbench along with tutorials
Thanks alot for this video. Going to 3D print those and now i managed to design it. The hard part i think is to know on what plane you should sketch and also thinking of what parts to create and how. Guess i learn the more i sketch :)
Is it any benefit to do as you do in this video but also before adding the body, add a Part?
So that you have parts for the main body, female and male? Or is this just one step to much that does nothing?
How do i extract both the male and female body to a 3mf (or other format) to put in my slicer? Now i have to extract each body separately
Also you set the difference between the male and female "hole" in the hinge to 1mm. What do you think is a good value if 3d printing? to assemble the parts. 1mm is a little bit to much loose fit?
Actually how to export multiple bodies to one file. I marked both files, clicked part, clicked compound>make compound and then you mark the compound that is created in the tree to the left and choose export. then both bodies come in the same file :)
Glad you enjoyed, bear with me if I miss a question as replying on phone and it doesn't give me a chance to review your comments as I am typing. So for planes it's best to, I don't always do, keep these as true to real world as possible so if your modeling something in front of you or visually the plane that it sits on would be the xy plane and you can then match the sides. It makes quite a bit of difference which plane you start with. Take a look at my short series called "CAD thinking" I explain how the number of operations change depending on the plane you start to tackle your object from. I can't remember what else you asked so I reply in a new message lol. BRB.
@@MangoJellySolutions yea i also asked what tolerance you can use when 3d printing parts that is joining together, you set 1mm on those parts but whats a bit more firm fit?
@@jespero94 I found that on my 3D printer I can get away with 0.25mm for a firm fit. I discovered this when making threads for jars. There is something called a tolerance / clearance tower that can be printed and you can test the tollerances for your 3D printer
Thanks will try that!@@MangoJellySolutions
Great. Thank you very much 🙂
I wish its get work
