That's a really cool video man. FreeCAD is not the most intuitive thing to use out there. But I am always amazed at the complexity of geometry you can achieve if you put the time in to learn it. And you're showcasing that beautifully.
Congrats on 50K. Man, FC is great, only wish I have that in the future with newer versions it somehow becomes faster and more responsive, because it is slow as heck I fairly basic stuff, but yea it is 100% free... I would love to see it being snappy like OnShape or 360...
Congrats on the 50K, and thank you for another instructive video! Slicing a pad with low curvature surface works fine, but can anyone recommend a way to *wrap* text/pattern *around* a surface?
Nice video! I recreated your play button in build123d (a new fully open source CAD package). Here is the build123d sourcecode: from build123d import * ms = Mode.SUBTRACT with BuildPart() as p: with BuildSketch() as s: RectangleRounded(3,2,.25) with BuildSketch(Plane.XY.offset(.3)) as s2: Circle(.1) with BuildSketch(Plane.XY.offset(.3)) as s3: Circle(.01) loft() with BuildSketch() as s4: RectangleRounded(3,2,.25) with HexLocations(.5/2,8,6): RegularPolygon(.5/2-.025,6,major_radius=False,mode=ms) zz=extrude(target=p.part.scale(1.01),until=Until.LAST) with BuildSketch(Plane.XY.offset(p.part.bounding_box().max.Z)) as s5: RegularPolygon(.5,3,30) extrude(amount=-.05,mode=ms) with BuildSketch(Plane.XY.offset(p.part.bounding_box().max.Z)) as s6: with Locations((0,.66)): Text("JOKO ENGINEERING",.25,font_style=FontStyle.BOLD) with Locations((0,-.66)): Text("50,000 SUBSCRIBERS",.25,font_style=FontStyle.BOLD) zz2=extrude(until=Until.PREVIOUS,mode=Mode.PRIVATE) add(zz2.translate((0,0,-.02)),mode=ms)
