A few tips. You might want to tell your students that CTR Z will undo a step if they mess up a step. Multiple CTR Zs will step things back one step at a time. Another thing is that you aren't stopping to Save during your videos. If the student's program crashes, they have to start all over again. And it introduces the habit of saving your work while you work. FreeCAD on Linux seems to autosave periodically, but that doesn't mean you can't lose several steps of work. I Save every time I get a block of work done. If I am unsure about how something is going to turn out, I will Save a Copy As before I attempt anything big. Then if it doesn't work out, I can always go back to my saved copy and try a different approach. It saves having to delete a bunch of work if you have to go back.

Good tips. - TBH I do sometimes forget to hit the save or mention that I did a Ctrl +s that saved the model.

Many thanks for taking the time to produce these videos. I have been scrambling up the learning curve of FreeCAD for a few weeks now and have nearly abandoned this project on more than one occasion from the frustration of things not working for me. It is the quality of your video content that has kept me going. and with the assistance of your videos the learning curve is now flatening and I am starting to produce work of an acceptable quality that can generate working GCode for both 3D Printing and CNC Routing. I look forward to your future videos and continuing to learn from them. Thanks again.

Love your videos. The past vids on datum planes and spreadsheets were awesome. (This one too!) I was wondering how you would take an image and design the complementary shape in a way that allows you to dial in the measurements easily? I just did the slots that slide into an 2040 extruded aluminum bar on my printer. Now I have to take that and combine it with the storage box I made. I look forward to learning how I could have done it better.

FreeCAD has the 'Thickness' modifier in both the Part and Part Design workbenches. I just used it to create a hollow part from a revolution of a complex shape - it will create a constant thickness shell. For a shell with variable thicknesses you will have to use the procedure in this video.

Love your videos, however there is something missing (from my point of view anyway) I think there should be an early video in this series that talks about work flows, with an emphasis on what are the inputs and what is the output. for example I want a 3d printed part the input would be a pencil sketch the output would be a file that can be 3 d printed or you may want to get something made at a machine shop so once again the input would be a sketch and the out put would be an engineering drawing that a machinist can work with. I have worked in industry for a long time and always had a drawing office where I would take my sketch, and out would come pcb design or equipment enclosure design. I was never taught drawing (other than tech drawing at high school or circuit drawing at tafe) Now i'm retired and have to do a lot myself, I had to learn to be a draughtsman (or is that draftperson in the politically correct world FIIK) So I think a big picture video would be a good idea. regards Steve W

Thank you for your videos on FreeCad. I am on the slippery slope of learning! I am trying to model a crossbow arrow. I have managed to create the shaft using part design, a cylinder and a cone (for the point of the arrow). I can attach a box , pad it to 2mm and using Boolean to fuse it in the right position of the shaft. However, I want the arrow flight to look like a delta wing (isosceles triangle) and not a rectangle. I do not know how to "attach" the triangle to the round shaft of the arrow. Please can you assist me. Thanking you in anticipation. Barchiq

If you are using boolean operations to create it. Just create a sketch of the isosceles triangles and then pad it, then use a boolean add to place it wherever you want it on the arrow shaft.
