This was particularly difficult as a first part. Had to do more tutorial reading than actual drawing.
I still can't do drafts so this part has no casting draft. (It is not shown in the drawing anyway)
With the lack of casting draft and the big internal cavity this would have been a very awkward part in real life.
First impressions about FreeCAD so far:
[*] FreeCAD seems pretty advanced and exceeds my expectations.
[*] "Part" and "Part Design workbenches do not have clearly defined purpose and the user is forced to switch from one workbench to the other several timtes. This is very annoying. These workbenches need to be combined in a single bench.
[*] The Fillet feature fails on some tangent surfaces. Needs some work. One error is visible at the root of the rear bearing boss. I could not correct this after several tries. Other edges that normally would have been filleted could not be done at all
[*] Need to figure out how to change wall thickness and fillet radius from a variable.
