FreeCAD Basics

I've been working on some FreeCAD Basics video to help people get up to speed with FreeCAD.

Playlist here:

phpBB [video]

I have quite a few videos planned but if there is anything that you would like to see please let me know.

Thanks,

Dan

My only suggestion is to keep the videos organized in playlists with meaningful names, and always state the version of the software.

The videos look good, I'll add them to the video tutorials page.

Not sure that would class as basics!

I don't understand. Was this sauna modeled with FreeCAD?

Are you planning to make a vid about workbench Path? If so, I would be interested in help on how to mill a part that is bigger than the working area of my milling machine. I could make such a part by shifting the stock material in between milling operations (making sure proper alignment is kept and so on).
However, I would not know how to split up the g-code accordingly. I have been looking around for an instructable for some time, but I couldn't find one up to now. A tip for an already existing instructable would also be appreciated

PS I am a beginner using FreeCAD 0.18
I have succeeded in milling my first small part. First time right. Yes!

No it wasn't. But it would be the subject of a great tutorial, IMHO

I will definately be making Path tutorials. The main reason I want to make videos is to help people get in to Path and get more people usining it.

Thanks,

Dan

Sounds great! I subscribed to your YouTube channel

Hopefully you find my topic challenging enough.

Wow! I helped build one of those and there is nothing "basic" about the construction. I hope the FreeCAD model is much less complex. At least there should be far fewer splinters.
