I have uploaded the file here . It is difficult to guess, how did you make this, in Partdesign or in Part workbench. Did you use a Part helix or a Partdesign subtractive helix. A common mistake is that the sketch is on the same angle as the split of the cylinder. Here an example of how it works It i...

I was creating a worm gear and I'm getting an artifact that I think is the result of some rounding errors. My question is how do I fix it or work around it? I considered sweeping over the same edge (circle) twice to overpass the artifact but I cannot select the same circle to sweep again. I know i c...

How would one go about that? Do you mean to make a copy of G396? This would be ok except for that I would like any changes made to base G396 to reflect in the other projects. Such changes will be rare for something like the G396 which is simple and a third party product that is expected to remain th...

Thank you for the link. It has helped in other ways than the question here. From the example, it is clear how to make modifications to the cart plate (AsCartPlate) from the assembly of the sliders. After the modification, the changes (holes) become part of the original (linked) AsCartPlate file/obje...

I am familiar with with freecad and just started with the new 0.19 and still getting used to all the new things that have come with it. I am especially curious with assembly and playing around with it. In my experiments I have created a model of the G396 enclosure and using it as an assembly part to...

There some tools (lattice, workfeatures, curves) can help us. This is essentially converting the object to a cuboid (bounding box), placing a sphere at the centre of the box and radius passing through the corners. Its clearly not optimised for size. From the top view it is clear that the sphere can...

I don't think there is native function in FC. If your shape only has straight edges, you can export the shape vertex and use eg. this library Unfortunately, my shape has a circles as well. This is an interesting library. I'm wondering if my use case can be handles by exporting the shape as a mesh a...

I have a requirement in which I need to enclose an object with the smallest size sphere. The object is symmetric in 2 planes so I know that the center of the sphere will lie on the third axis. I would like to know if there is any way to identify the bounding sphere of the object. My current method i...

Looks like someone already did this for me. Thanks for that!
