Using one or the other can someone please point me in right direction so I can have a working model to export to STL, slice it, 3D print it and ultimately make the wife happy ? Should I use Part design or Part workbench ? See attached the result of what I have up to now. Unfortunately after many hours, much I also tried using the Part workbench for this job but don't know how to remove/trim away the unnecessary pieces of the inner circles. The idea was then to trim everything so I only get the required pieces of the smaller rectangle and both circles. In the same sketch I created two circles to form the bend leg of the H. On this new sketch I created 4 rectangles, adjusted the short sides of the longer ones so they fit inside the outer ring, clicked pad, 10 mm length, reversed.
I then clicked the top face of the ring and created a new sketch. I created a Body, then a sketch on the XY plane, drew two circles of 100 and 90 mm radius and the same center point to form the outer ring of the model and in Tasks clicked "Pad" of 10 mm length. On my Win10 desktop I downloaded, unpacked and started the portable FreeCAD version 0.18.Īfter reading and watching a few tutorials I started my project, using at first "Part design" workbench. I started looking for a software where I could create a 3D model of this picture, export to STL, and using Ultimaker CURA slice it to gcode. It is just a ring with inside what looks like a H letter and again the same but upside down. Yesterday my wife asked me to print a 3D model of the logotype of her company, see attached picture. Parametric modeling allows you to easily modify your design by going back into your model history and changing its parameters.Last week I bought a Creality Ender 3 V2 printer. 1FreeCAD is an open-source parametric 3D modeler made primarily to design real-life objects of any size.Besides, it is similar to SolidWorks, a commercial software that I studied and tested in a previous work course. In that case, I drew a sketch, rotated it by 360° and then applied the holes to define the adapter.
In other words, it let you change a measure or the making step by step process to build your 3D object. Surely I could have bought an adapter in any hardware store! But I had a white plastic filament and I wanted to realise a customised adapter for my bathroom.Īnd not Blender because the first one is an open-source parametric 3D modeller. I designed it with FreeCAD using parametric modelling. I want to share a simple adapter that I made some time ago for an air extractor too small to be fixed in the ceiling. In my opinion, 3D printing is a valuable resource for problem-solving that sometimes happens in daily life.
