D3D Meeting Log

2017-02-22T00:30:35Z

Brian Hull: /* Mon Feb 20, 2017 */

[[Marcin Log]], [[Jonathan Log]], [[Brian Log]], [[Emmanouil Log]]

=Mon Feb 20, 2017=
*Richard - interview 2 people;
*Emmanouil - entire frame
*Jonathan - print axis and help on controller
*Brian - print axis assembly model
*Marcin - controller diagram Rambo Mini, including the arduino route for lower cost

=Monday Feb 6, 2017=
*Emmanouil - generate 3D CAD File of extruder
*Marcin - get Visual BOM started - calculate price
*Work as a team as much as possible to increase visible velocity
*Upload all part files to [[D3D_Extruder#Part_Files]]
Goal:
*3D CAD file of Extruder only asssembled
*vBOM complete - and total price and sourcing available
Next week:
*integrate into Universal X axis - make OSE Universal Axis interoperable with Prusa i3 rod axis spacing.
*Prototype full frame + axes, 16" long = next week
*Work with magnetic attachment as unique value proposition?

FreeCAD 101

Brian Hull: /* Please Comment on Your FreeCAD 101 Test Experience */

=Meta=
Take-home points and learning outcomes of the 2 tutorials below:
*by learning to sketch in FreeCAD, you can then create any 3D objects imaginable
*Importing part libraries and working with them is a powerful way to do design work using Part Libraries. This can get the casual user to powerful design capacity using real geometries.

=Introduction=
After these 2 tutorials, you are ready to work on [[User Contributed Designs]]. Please pause the videos as needed in order to practice the demonstrated lesson, as these tutorials are dense.

=A FreeCAD Manual=
[https://www.gitbook.com/book/yorikvanhavre/a-freecad-manual/details The FreeCAD Manual] has a different learning approach than the [http://www.freecadweb.org/wiki official FreeCAD documentation wiki] that makes it more suitable for a first contact with FreeCAD.

=FreeCAD Test=
==Purpose==
This exercise tests your ability to:
*Install OSE Linux
*Download and use library parts in FreeCAD
*rotate, move, and align objects in 3D
*Use the Sketcher in FreeCAD to make features on faces
*Use circular assembly constraints in FreeCAD
*Use Vokoscreen to record instructional screen-casts
*Use KdenLive to edit a basic video, adding images and sound
*Upload videos to YouTube
*Upload FreeCAD source files to the wiki
*Embed videos in the wiki
*Using Disqus and upvoting comments

==Test==
#Download and install the [[OSE Linux]] with FreeCAD, Kdenlive, and Vokoscreen.
#Download 8-hole square tubing (without rounded corners) from the [[OSE Part Library]].
#Use the tubing to create an x-y-z bolted corner cube.
#Record a video of you building the cube, from the beginning, using [[Vokoscreen]].
#When you are done building the cube, create a 1" bolt and nut using the [[Bolt Library in FreeCAD]].
#Insert one bolt through any of the corners, as if you were actually building the cube - using the [[Assembly Workbench]] in FreeCAD.
#Tighten the bolt with the nut (just insert the nut onto the bolt).
#Now take any face on the tubing of the resulting cube - and using Sketcher on that particular face - write your initials on that face. Pocket those initials so that they are cut into the face.
#Speed up the file to turn it into a 30 second video using [[Kdenlive]].
#Add Pling by Jaspertine from the [[Open Source Soundtracks]]
#Upload the video to YouTube and embed in the section below after the others.
#Upload the FreeCAD file to your [[Work Log]].
#Use Disqus below to tell us how long it took you to learn the FreeCAD tutorials and Kdenlive. Please include any suggestions on the videos. Also, please score yourself 0-100 based on the percentage of the Test points that you have completed successfully - and include that score in your Disqus comment.

At that point - Welcome to the Team, Ms/r. Opensourcer. You now have the basic skills to manipulate objects in 3D and to begin composing useful parts - including your ability to document your work with videos.

Test took me 30 minutes to complete. A lot of that time was spent clicking around and learning how the software worked. Overall, FreeCAD worked fine and only had a few glitches for me. I would say pretty good for a free software. This was my first time working with the assembly workbench. There was a few places where I thought the software could be improved but I'll wait until I use it more before I complain too much. I would rate myself a 75 out 100.
