[Solved] Help to draw a bezel
Posted: Thu Sep 23, 2021 2:29 pm
I'm very fluent in OpenSCAD, SketchUp, Fusion360, but FreeCAD continues to defeat me. I've been dabbling with it for a few years, but every time I come back to it I seem to have forgotten what I learnt before. It's not helped by the fact that the product keeps changing. Anyway, I'm trying to draw something really simple, but I'm baffled how to do it.
I'm trying to draw a simple bezel for a 4x7-segment LED display. It's about 50x120mm. I've drawn one in OpenSCAD, but I want to do some chamfer and bevel, and OpenSCAD just doesn't do that. I thought FreeCAD was the answer but the learning curve is too great.
I hate to ask, but could someone put together a basic bezel like the one attached, and I can adjust its parametric dimensions later? I can also put some chamfer/bevel on it.
The display slots in from the front. The 4 digits poke through the bezel. The bezel then is inserted in a hole in a chassis. I would be very grateful if someone could get me started.
