Redo models in FreeCAD? #3

Open Electro707 opened 3 years ago

Electro707 commented 3 years ago

I think for something like this it might be worth it to redo the 3D models in a parametric modeler like FreeCAD, as it seems like the best tool for this (dimensional contains, user-defined options with tables, etc). Thoughts on this?

If I have time this weekend I'll try and model one of the designs and see how it goes.

While prototyping the design, creating it in Blender is (for me) the quickest approach. Once a design is "final", it makes sense to translate it into something parametrised to allow to adjust for manufacturing tolerances: fdm vs sla vs cnc
