One other thing I might suggest - since you're designing a useful object (rather than a haphazard mess like a lot of these types of videos are guilty of), I think you should show the end result of what you're modeling at the beginning of the video, then talk about how each tool helps you get there and why you're doing things the way you are. But if you mess with the options panel, the tool can instead copy the edge, or change the angle of the corner, or whatever else it does.Īs a self-taught intermediate, I'd say that's where I could personally use the most improvement - playing with those non-obvious features that I don't know either A.) what they do, or B.) that they're even there at all. For example, if you pull an edge, by default you round the edge (there's probably some proper term that I don't know). I'd personally like to see the options panel for each tool explained. The best thing about is in addition to being free it is tiny stand-alone program which should run on pretty much.This is cool! The video was a good intro for a beginner. It is basically what I use for over 90% of my 3d prints, FreeCAD for 10% if I need some specific things Solvespace is missing. I really like Solvespace, more simplistic than some but really good for functional prints ( I do cases, mechanical fittings for pcbs etc. For your 3D printing needs, it might be good enough. It's opensource and much lighter on your computer resources and still quite capable. I know you posted in the Freecad sub but you could also consider Solvespace for your modeling needs.
On a mission to make a cheap CAD computer But I have to admit I would have a hard time using it professionally. However I find it enjoyable, fun you may even say, to use. It is very limited compared to the ones you listed. Https:/// When you learn that completely and then outgrow it, you're probably going back to FreeCAD, or maybe blender with the CAD-sketcher addon. If you want to quickly sketch and simulate the motion of linkages, I can recommend using Solvespace. Math and Motion: A Look at Chebyshev’s Works on Linkages
